Overview
This week we learn about the last new data type we will see before the PCEP exam: the Python dictionary.
Thursday, October 10th
Classwork / Homework
We now know all the Python we need to know to prepare for the PCEP exam. Starting now you will be given time to complete the Python Essentials 1 course on your own. This course will prepare you for the certification exam, since it was made by the vendor who made the exam.
I have a collection of 129 practice problems you can use in addition to the problems given in the OpenEDG course. All of these exercises are now fair game for short quizzes we will have in class.
Monday, October 7th
Classwork
We will begin class with the promised quiz on chapter 5.
After our quiz I will provide an introduction the last Python data type we need before taking the PCEP, the dictionary.
After demonstrating this new data type and showing you several of its methods, I'll discuss an example inspired by a conversation I had with Delanie and Sean last Wednesday.
Homework
Read Dictionaries in Python, trying the example code yourself and making sure you understand how they work.
