For the purpose of this activity, I am a student and trying to organise my subjects and grades using Python.
The notebook containing the code is here.
- Create a list called subjects and fill it with the classes you are taking:
"physics""calculus""poetry""history"
- Create a list called grades and fill it with your scores:
98978588
- Manually (without any methods) create a two-dimensional list to combine subjects and grades. Use the table below as a reference to associated values.
| Name | Test Score |
|---|---|
"physics" |
98 |
"calculus" |
97 |
"poetry" |
85 |
"history" |
88 |
Assign the value into a variable called gradebook.
- Print
gradebook. Does it look how you expected it would?
See the output from the code as follows:
- Your grade for your computer science class just came in! You got a perfect score,
100!
Use the .append() method to add a list with the values of "computer science" and an associated grade value of 100 to our two-dimensional list of gradebook.
- Your grade for
"visual arts"just came in! You got a93!
Use append to add ["visual arts", 93] to gradebook.
- Our instructor just told us they made a mistake grading and are rewarding an extra 5 points for our visual arts class.
Access the index of the grade for your visual arts class and modify it to be 5 points greater.
- You decided to switch from a numerical grade value to a Pass/Fail option for your poetry class.
Find the grade value in your gradebook for your poetry class and use the .remove() method to delete it.
- Use the
.append()method to then add a new"Pass"value to the sublist where your poetry class is located.
- You also have your grades from last semester, stored in
last_semester_gradebook.
Create a new variable full_gradebook that combines both last_semester_gradebook and gradebook using + to have one complete grade book.
Print full_gradebook to see our completed list.
