I missed a day in Computer Science/Programming this week due
to circumstances outside my control, making this a one-day week. Still, it was as productive as any other
week- that is, I did the assignment.
The assignment had to do with some rather random tests on
numbers- a test of divisibility by 3, a test of divisibility by 3 xor 5, and a
test of whether the number is 60 (and, if not, whether it’s bigger than
0/50/100). That is to say, it was a
rather odd exercise designed to test our ability to use:
* If statements.
These are the simplest- if a Boolean variable is “true”, certain lines
run. If it’s false, one can use elifs
and elses to further divide up the options.
* While loops. While
a certain Boolean variable is “true”, certain lines run over and over again
until it becomes “false”.
* For loops. These
allow one to run certain lines that include a variable for given values of that
variable. That is, the lines run a given
amount of times, each time with a different value of the basic variable.
Whichever one of these is used, it is vital to include a
colon at the end of the line- for instance, “if n==1:”.
