Chapter 2 Input, Processing and Output Hong Sun COSC 1436 Spring 2017 Jan 30, 2017
Designing a Program Designing a Program o Programs must be carefully designed before they are written. Before beginning a program, you must have a firm idea of what the program should produce and what data is needed to produce that output. So programmers need to define the output and data flows, develop the logic to get to that output. o Programmers can use tools such as pseudocode and flowchart to create models of programs
Designing a Program Designing a Program -- Tools o Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a "text-based" detail (algorithmic) design tool. o The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. All statements showing "dependency" are to be indented. These include while, do, for, if, switch o The pseudocode can be translated directly to actual code. o
Designing a Program Designing a Program -- Tools o an example of pseudocode to create a program to add 2 numbers together and then display the result. Start Program Enter two numbers, A, B Add the numbers together Print Sum End Program
Designing a Program Designing a Program Tools o another example of pseudocode to compute the perimeter of a rectangle: Start Program Enter length, l Enter width, w Compute Perimeter = 2*l + 2*w Display Perimeter of a rectangle End Program
Designing a Program Designing a Program Use flowchart
Designing a Program Designing a Program Use flowchart Oval called terminal (appear at top and bottom) Parallelogram called input and output symbol Rectangle called processing symbol (performs some steps on data, such as calculation)
Designing a Program Designing a Program Summary The process of designing a program can be summarized in the following two steps Understand the task that the program is to perform Determine the steps that must be taken to perform the task.
Input, Processing, and Output Input o the information entered into a computer system, examples include: typed text, mouse clicks, etc. Processing o the process of transforming input information into and output. Output o the visual, auditory, or tactile perceptions provided by the computer after processing the provided information. Examples include: text, images, sound, or video displayed on a monitor or through speaker as well as text or Braille from printers or embossers. o
Print function, Comments, Variables print function print("hong Sun") Output: Hong Sun Where Hong Sun is string. String can be enclosed in single or double quote. Where print is function. Perhaps the most fundamental build-in function is print function, which displays output on the screen. A function is a piece of code in a program. The function performs a specific task. The advantages of using functions are: Reducing duplication of code Decomposing complex problems into simpler pieces Improving clarity of the code Reuse of code Information hiding
Print function, Comments, Variables Some of python s escape characters \ \ Backslash (\) \' Single quote (') \" Double quote (") \n ASCII Linefeed (LF) \t ASCII Horizontal Tab (TAB)
Print function, Comments, Variables More about print string output print ("HongSun") print ("Hong\\Sun") print ("Hong\'Sun") print ("Hong\"Sun") output: HongSun output: Hong\Sun output: Hong Sun output: Hong Sun print ("Hong\tSun") output: Hong Sun print ("Hong\nSun") output: Hong Sun
Print function, Comments, Variables More about print string output print("""i'm reading "Hamlet" tonight""") Output : I'm reading "Hamlet" tonight
Print function, Comments, Variables print function s ending The print function normally display a line of output. Two print sentences will produce two lines of output print( One ) print( Two ) Output is: One Two If you want to suppress the newline print( One, end= ) print( Two ) Output is: One Two
Print function, Comments, Variables print function specifying an item separator print ( One, Two, Three ) when multiple arguments are passed to the print function, they are automatically separated by space. So the output is One Two Three print ( One, Two, Three, sep= ) print ( One, Two, Three, sep= ## ) print ( One, Two, Three, sep= --- ) print ( One, Two, Three, sep= *** )
Print function, Comments, Variables print function Displaying Multiple Items with + Operator print( This is + a cat ) Output: This is a cat print( The print function will prints as strings everything +\ in a comma-separated sequence of expressions, +\ and it will separate the results with single blanks by default. +\ Note that you can mix types: anything that is not already a string is +\ automatically converted to its string representation. )
Print function, Comments, Variables Variables o A variable is a name that represents a value stored in the computer. Naming Rules: o Can not use one of Python s key words as a variable name. o A variable name can not contains space. o The first character must be one of the letters a through z,a through Z or under-score character(_) o After the first character you may use one of the letters a through z, A through Z, the digit 0 through 9 or under-score character(_) o Variable name is case sensitive. This means the variable name Lastname is not the same as lastname.
Print function, Comments, Variables List of Python keywords (chapter1 p17) o The following is a list of keywords for the Python programming language. o and, del, from, not, while, as, elif, global, or, with, assert, else, if, pass, yield, break, except, import, print,class, exec, in, raise, continue, finally, is, return, def, for, try o Python is a dynamic language. It changes during time. The list of keywords may change in the future.
Print function, Comments, Variables Variable Assignment use an assignment statement to create a variable and make it reference a piece of data. example: price = 12.25 # this is float (float) age = 25 # this is integer (int) name = Hong Sun # this is string (str) An assignment statement is written in the following general format: variable = expression print(price, age, name)
Print function, Comments, Variables Variable reading input form keyboard use input function to read user input. Example: name = input( Enter your name: ) #Note: the input function always returns the user s input as a string, even if the user enters a numeric data. string_hours = input( how many hours did you work for week? ) hours = int(string_hours), hours = float(string_hours) or hours = int(input( how many hours did you work for week? )) hours = float(input( how many hours did you work for week? )) int, float called data conversion function.
Print function, Comments, Variables Performing Calculations Python math Operators (code see chapter2_mathoperators.py) Symbol Name + Addition - Subtraction * Multiplication / Division // Integer Division % Reminder ** Power
Print function, Comments, Variables Performing Calculations # Python Source code a = 10.89234 b = 11 c = 12 add = a + b + c sub = c - a mult = a * b div = c / 3 power = a ** 2 print(add, sub, mult, div) print(power)
# percentage print(0.5, % ) print(0.5,.1% ) Print function, Comments, Variables Formatting Numbers. x = 1234.56789 # this is float data # Two decimal places of accuracy print(format(x, '0.2f')) # Inclusion of thousands separator print(format(x, ',.1f')) print(format(x, '0,.1f'))
Print function, Comments, Variables Functions we learn today print -- output function int -- data conversion function float -- data conversion functions str -- data conversion functions format data formatting function Input read data from the keyboard
Programming Exercise 12.Stock Transaction program page 79 Last month Joe purchased some stock in Acme Software, Inc. here are the details of the purchase: The number of shares that Joe purchased was 2,000 When joe purchased the stock, he paid $40.00 per share Joe paid his stockbroker a commission that amounted to 3% of the amount he paid for the stock. Two weeks later joe sold the stock. Here are the details of the sale: The number if shares that Joe sold was 2,000 He sold the stock for $42.75 per share He paid his stockbroker another commission that amount to 3% of the amount he received for the stock.
Programming Exercise 12.Stock Transaction program page 79 Write a program that display the following information: The amount of money joe paid for the stock The amount of Commission Joe paid for his broker when he bought the stock The amount of money Joe sold for the stock The amount of Commission Joe paid for his broker when he sold the stock Display the amount of money that Joe had left when he sold the stock and paid his broker(both times). If this amount is positive, then Joe made a profit. If the amount is negative, then Joe lost money.
