This is a Python Programming course. You can use these places to write Python:
* Online Python: [[http://online-python.com]]
* Computer: [[https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/|PyCharmCE IDE]] //Remember to choose PyCharmCE (Community Edition).//

* Today's lesson: Functions.
* The class was moved or changed again, so I was unable to teach it.

== October 13
* The class was moved to 8th period, so I was not able to teach today.
* However, I prepared a detailed lesson plan for the teacher here: [[https://www.helloneo.ca/wiki/doku.php?id=basics_iii|Third Lesson]]

== October 6
There was a test today, so, no class.


== September 15
* In this class we will learn about random numbers and IF-THEN.
* n = random.randint(from,to)
* if n == 1: print("heads");

=== Example 1
<Code:Python|program-2a.py>

import random

n = random.randint(1,2)

print(n)
 
</Code>

In this program we get a random number. Now, we need to know how to deal with it.

=== Example 2
<Code:Python|program-2b.py>

import random

n = random.randint(1,2)

if n == 1:
    print("Heads!")
else:
    print("Tails!")
 
</Code>

=== Homework
Here is an example program to help you get started:

<Code:Python|program-2c.py>

import random

n = random.randint(1,3)

if n == 1:
    print("scissor!")
elif n == 2:
    print("paper!")
else:
    print("stone!)
 
</Code>

**Ok, so what is today's homework?**

Todays homework is to write a program that rolls dice. The output must be one of the following six possibilities:

Good luck on today's homework! The answer will be posted next week.

== September 8
* In this class we learned the following commands:
** print("hello")
** a = input("what is your name?")

Today's homework is to write a program that asks for first name and last name and then prints it. Here is an example answer:

<Code:python|sep8.py>

a = input("What is your first name? ")
c = input("What is your last name? ")

print ("Hello " + a + " " + c + "!")
 
</Code>

There are many ways to write the print statement. As long as it is relatively simple and produces the same output it is fine. Another example could be <Code:Python>print("Hello", a, c, end=""); print("!")'' or some method using ''c+"!"''.
