Python

[Haeking]

I was wondering if someone could explain this python coding to me in detail, Im having a hard time understanding it 
What would be the simplest way, to get to the final solution, and why ?
So I can understand the thinking pattern of someone

They want you to use variables, input(), while True loop, do string formatting with a print statement, do math operations, etc etc etc...

 

Here is a documented sample that does most of these things.  Pseudo code is mostly non-existant, but comments are generous.  The code does not handle improper input, but it does not seem your examples require this.  It will not be the exact program you are being asked for.

 

 

"""
Program = Total income calculator
Author = 
Purpose = Calculate income based wage and hours worked


Structure...

    Gather user input for wage, normal hours, and OT hours
    Calculate normal pay, OT pay, and total pay
    Display normal pay, OT pay, and total pay
"""

#define static variable for OT rate
statOTRate = 1.5



#take input for hourly wage as float, store in hourlyWage
hourlyWage = float(input("What is your hourly wage?"))
#take input for normal time hours as float, store in standardHours
standardHours = float(input("How many normal hours did you work?"))
#take input for overtime hours as float, store in overtimeHours
overtimeHours = float(input("How many overtime hours did you work?"))



#calculate normal time pay, store in normalPay
normalPay = hourlyWage * standardHours
#calculate overtime pay, store in overtimePay
overtimePay = hourlyWage * overtimeHours * statOTRate
#calculate total pay, store in totalPay
totalPay = normalPay + overtimePay



#display results of calculations in an easy to understand format, rounded to the nearest cent
print ("Your normal time pay is...")
print ("${:.2f}\n".format(round(normalPay,2)))
print ("Your overtime pay is...")
print ("${:.2f}\n".format(round(overtimePay,2)))
print ("Your total pay is...")
print ("${:.2f}".format(round(totalPay,2)))

Ahh okay, Im getting more of an understanding since of the pseudo code you sent me
Its a lot more split up and to the point then the way he was describing in class
Still is a little bit blurry in some areas 

[KarathKasun]

Here is a more complete example with better pseudocode.  Hadnt gotten into functions at the time, so menus are a bit... long winded.  Comments only cover sections of the code where things are not largely the same.

Here is a more complete example with better pseudocode.  Hadnt gotten into functions at the time, so menus are a bit... long winded.  Comments only cover sections of the code where things are not largely the same.

Thank you so much
This is helping me a lot more than before

They want you to use variables, input(), while True loop, do string formatting with a print statement, do math operations, etc etc etc...

 

Here is a documented sample that does most of these things.  Pseudo code is mostly non-existant, but comments are generous.  The code does not handle improper input, but it does not seem your examples require this.  It will not be the exact program you are being asked for.

 

 

"""
Program = Total income calculator
Author = 
Purpose = Calculate income based wage and hours worked


Structure...

    Gather user input for wage, normal hours, and OT hours
    Calculate normal pay, OT pay, and total pay
    Display normal pay, OT pay, and total pay
"""

#define static variable for OT rate
statOTRate = 1.5



#take input for hourly wage as float, store in hourlyWage
hourlyWage = float(input("What is your hourly wage?"))
#take input for normal time hours as float, store in standardHours
standardHours = float(input("How many normal hours did you work?"))
#take input for overtime hours as float, store in overtimeHours
overtimeHours = float(input("How many overtime hours did you work?"))



#calculate normal time pay, store in normalPay
normalPay = hourlyWage * standardHours
#calculate overtime pay, store in overtimePay
overtimePay = hourlyWage * overtimeHours * statOTRate
#calculate total pay, store in totalPay
totalPay = normalPay + overtimePay



#display results of calculations in an easy to understand format, rounded to the nearest cent
print ("Your normal time pay is...")
print ("${:.2f}\n".format(round(normalPay,2)))
print ("Your overtime pay is...")
print ("${:.2f}\n".format(round(overtimePay,2)))
print ("Your total pay is...")
print ("${:.2f}".format(round(totalPay,2)))

 

Im stuggling myself I just got into coding (with python and others) Are you able to give me a example of the veriables in action with a if statement to create a outcome with a specific ammount.

Check my 2nd post.  Code in that program handles variables and text menus with if/elif/else statements.

 

The code at the top is industry standardish pseudocode.  Real python starts at about halfway down after the comment ending ''' and the #1 comment.

[KarathKasun]

If you want the 2nd example, the base converter, to make more sense with the pseudocode... Copy paste the pseudo code into notepad and line it up with the start of the python code, side by side.  Then you can see what python code relates to what the pseudo code is saying to do.

 

The first "REPEAT UNTIL BREAK" corresponds to the first "while True:"

Here is a more complete example with better pseudocode.  Hadnt gotten into functions at the time, so menus are a bit... long winded.  Comments only cover sections of the code where things are not largely the same.

See how in the conversion to binary your basically repeating your self over and over?

 

They are a perfect example of when you should refactor that into a single function that you pass data too.

 

If you find yourself repeating code you're doing something wrong.

I am aware of this, but the class had not moved into functions at the time so I used what was covered up to that point to make the program.

That's a slow moving class If I were a teacher after learning basic operations I would move on to functions.

 

No point letting people code wrong to then have to relearn the thought process.

It was for something like the third class meeting.
