Random Meal Suggestion Generator

This Python code creates an empty list and prompts the user to append or add to the list by typing in meal suggestions. The code then prompts to finish the input whenever they feel like it. This helps as a meal planner that can suggest meals throughout the week.

# Function to gather meal suggestions from the user
def gather_meals():
    meals = []
    print("Enter your meal suggestions (type 'done' to finish):")
    
    while True:
        meal = input("Meal suggestion: ")
        if meal.lower() == 'done':
            break
        meals.append(meal)
    
    return meals

# Function to display meal suggestions
def display_meals(meals):
    count = len(meals)
    print(f"You have {count} meal suggestion(s):")  
    for meal in meals:
        print(f"- {meal}")  

# Main code
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Sample input
    user_meals = [
        "Spaghetti Bolognese",
        "Grilled Chicken Salad",
        "Vegetable Stir-Fry",
        "Tacos",
        "Pancakes for Breakfast",
        "done"  # Indicates the end of input
    ]
    
    # Simulating user input for demonstration
    for meal in user_meals:
        if meal != "done":
            print(f"Meal suggestion: {meal}")
        else:
            break
    
    # Displaying the entered meals
    display_meals(user_meals[:-1])  # Exclude 'done' from the list

Homework Hack #1

This Python script allows users to interactively manage a list containing various data types. The script initializes a list with different values, prompts the user to input an index, checks if the index is valid, and removes the item at that index if it exists. The user can continue to remove items or exit the program at any time.

Features

  • Displays the current contents of the list along with their indices.
  • Allows the user to remove an item by entering the corresponding index.
  • Handles invalid inputs and out-of-range indices gracefully.
  • Provides an option to exit the program.

Usage

Run the script in a Python environment and follow the prompts to manage the list.

# Initialize a list with various data types
data_list = [
    "apple",  # string
    42,       # integer
    3.14,     # float
    True,     # boolean
    [1, 2, 3],# list
    {"key": "value"},  # dictionary
    None      # NoneType
]

# Function to display the current list
def display_list(data):
    print("Current list:")
    for index, item in enumerate(data):
        print(f"{index}: {item}")

# Main code
if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        display_list(data_list)
        
        try:
            # Ask the user for an index
            user_input = input("Enter an index to remove an item (or 'exit' to quit): ")
            if user_input.lower() == 'exit':
                print("Exiting the program.")
                break
            
            index = int(user_input)  # Convert input to integer
            
            # Check if the index is valid
            if 0 <= index < len(data_list):
                removed_item = data_list.pop(index)  # Remove item at the index
                print(f"Removed item: {removed_item}")
            else:
                print("Invalid index. Please try again.")
        
        except ValueError:
            print("Please enter a valid number or 'exit' to quit.")
  1. Initialize an empty list called ‘numbers’
  2. For i from 1 to 30: a. Append i to ‘numbers’
  3. Initialize variable ‘even_sum’ to 0
  4. Initialize variable ‘odd_sum’ to 0
  5. For each number in ‘numbers’: a. If the number is even: i. Add the number to ‘even_sum’ b. Else: i. Add the number to ‘odd_sum’
  6. Print ‘even_sum’
  7. Print ‘odd_sum’
# Step 1: Initialize an empty list
numbers = []

# Step 2: Create a list of 30 numbers
for i in range(1, 31):
    numbers.append(i)

# Step 3: Initialize sums
even_sum = 0
odd_sum = 0

# Step 4: Calculate the sums of even and odd numbers
for number in numbers:
    if number % 2 == 0:  # Check if the number is even
        even_sum += number
    else:  # The number is odd
        odd_sum += number

# Step 5: Print the results
print("Sum of even numbers:", even_sum)
print("Sum of odd numbers:", odd_sum)

Homework Hack #2

This Python script demonstrates how to create a list of favorite hobbies and iterate through each hobby using a loop. It prints each hobby to the console, showcasing the user’s interests.

Code Breakdown

  1. List Creation: A list named favorite_hobbies is created, containing various hobbies.
  2. Loop Iteration: A for loop is used to go through each hobby in the list, printing a formatted string that states it’s a favorite hobby.

Usage

Run the code in any Python environment to see the list of hobbies printed out.

# Step 1: Create a list of favorite hobbies
favorite_hobbies = [
    "Reading",
    "Cycling",
    "Photography",
    "Cooking",
    "Gardening",
    "Hiking",
    "Playing Video Games",
    "Painting",
    "Writing",
    "Traveling"
]

# Step 2: Use a loop to iterate through each hobby
for hobby in favorite_hobbies:
    print(f"My favorite hobby is: {hobby}")

Homework Hack #3

This Python script creates a list containing two yes/no questions along with their respective answers. It then iterates through the list and prints each question with its answer.

Code Breakdown

  1. List Creation: A list named questions_and_answers is created, where each element is a dictionary containing a question and its answer.
  2. Loop Iteration: A for loop is used to print each question with its corresponding answer.

Usage

Run the code in any Python environment to see the questions and their answers displayed.

# Step 1: Create a list of questions with yes/no answers
questions_and_answers = [
    {"question": "Do you like coffee?", "answer": "Yes"},
    {"question": "Is Python your favorite programming language?", "answer": "No"}
]

# Step 2: Use a loop to iterate through each question and answer
for item in questions_and_answers:
    print(f"Question: {item['question']}")
    print(f"Answer: {item['answer']}\n")
