Session 11 Preparation — Videos, Reading and Quizzes

Quiz

Go to Moodle to find the Quiz for this Preparation.

Do the quiz as you watch the videos and do the reading. The quiz follows the same order as the videos/reading do.

You can access the videos from here or from Moodle; they both point to the same place.

Videos and Reading:

All of the following are required except items labeled Optional are, well, optional (i.e., things that may be interesting but do not directly pertain to your success in this course).

  1. Range expressions
    • Briefly review this document on Python's RANGE expression that you saw in a previous Preparation. It extends the 1-argument form that you know to the 2 and 3-argument forms.
  2. Sequences
  3. The Last Item in a Sequence
  4. Iterating Through a Sequence
  5. Worms, Python and Ethics: Read this excerpt from a textbook by Horstmann and Necaise. I think that you will find it very interesting.
