Exercise 5
Write a Python program that accepts a string and a character from the user. The program checks the number of times(frequency) the character appeared in the string. E.g. If the user enters "Michael Faraday" as the string and enters 'a' as the character, the program should display:

There are 4 a in Michael Faraday!

string = input('Enter a string')
char = input('Enter a character in the string')
print('{} appears {} times in the word {}'.format(char, string.casefold().count(char.casefold()), string ))

hmm....who else ooo? Let's get to business. Pls, let's try to read the question in details first. If the question asks for the users' input, then we should include an input statement. Zabiboy we need to talk ooo. This one wey I no see you....


Exercise 4
We are doing some 'loop and looping stuffs' today.


Write a Python program that accepts the name of a student, matric number, course code and the score he/she got in the course. E.g
Name: John Alfred
Matric. No.: MUC/CS/014/0882
Course Code: CMP 212
Score: 100

The program then print the result as:
John Alfred, MUC/CS/014/0882, CMP 212, Grade A


Using this grading table.
100-95 A
94-85 B
84-70 C
69-60 D
59-50 E
49-0 F

Corrections, advices, suggestions and opinions are highly welcome!


Unfortunately, Nairaland would not allow indentation

class Student:

def __init__(self, firstname, lastname, matric, course):
self.firstname = firstname
self.lastname = lastname
self.matric = matric
self.course = course

def grade(self, score):
if score >= 95:
return "A"
elif score >= 85:
return "B"
elif score >= 70:
return "C"
elif score >= 60:
return " D "
elif score >= 50:
return "E"
else:
return "F"

def fullname(self):
return "{} {}".format(self.firstname, self.lastname)

first = input("Enter Firstname of Student: " )
last = input("Enter Lastname of Student: " )
matricNo = input("Enter Matriculation Number of Student: " )
coursecode = input("Enter the Course Code: " )
studentscore = eval(input("Enter the Score for Student: " ))
stud1 = Student(first, last, matricNo, coursecode)

print("{}, {}, {}, Grade {}".format(stud1.fullname(), stud1.matric, stud1.course, stud1.grade(studentscore)))

this only works when you put an even number, it cannot tell if a number is not even number

Alright guys let's get this straight. This is not a tutorial thread...buh it can be of help sha. This is a place where we can ask ourselves 'Python' questions and share ideas.
Please welcome me home!

Write a function that takes a list of numbers and returns the first unique number in the list.

Note: I am a beginner, so don't expect clean code. Also, I suck at naming variables grin . It can definitely be improved upon. I can protect the code with trys here and there, to prevent certain errors. I don't know if the list is necessary, but I don't know any way to sort dictionaries by time or maybe I should have stored the contacts using another data type. Criticism is welcome smiley


contacts = dict()
contacts_date = list()


def save_contact(name, number):
contacts[name] = number
contacts_date.append([name, number])
print('contact saved')

def display_contact_alphabetical():
print('Name\tNumbers')
for i, j in sorted(contacts.items()):
print( '{}\t{}'.format(i, j))


def delete(name):
contacts_date.remove([name, contacts[name]])
del contacts[name]
print('contact deleted')

def display_contact_date():
for a, b in contacts_date:
print('{}\t{}'.format(a, b))


def edit_contact_name(old_name, new_name):
tmp = contacts[new_name]
delete(old_name)
save_contact(new_name, tmp)
print('Contact information updated')


def edit_contact_num(name, new_num):
delete(name)
save_contact(name, new_num)
print('Contact information updated')


while True:
print('Press \n1. To save a contact\n2. To display contats\n3. To delete a contact\n4. To edit a contact\n5. To quit')
user_input = int(input())
if user_input == 1:
response_to_one = input('Enter name and number')
cont_name, cont_num = response_to_one.split()
save_contact(cont_name, cont_num)
elif user_input == 2:
print('Press \n1. To display alphabetically\n2. To display by time')
reply = int(input())
if reply == 1:
display_contact_alphabetical()
elif reply == 2:
display_contact_date()
elif user_input == 3:
response_to_three = input('Enter name')
delete(response_to_three)
elif user_input == 4:
print('Press \n1. To edit contact name\n2. To edit contact number')
reply_two = int(input())
if reply_two == 1:
reply_two_one = input('Enter old name and new name')
old_name, new_name = reply_two_one.split()
edit_contact_name(old_name, new_name)
elif reply_two == 2:
reply_two_two = input('Enter name and number')
cont_name, cont_num = reply_two_two.split()
edit_contact_num(cont_name, cont_num)
elif user_input == 5:

contact _date list is misleading as there aren't any date in it (Lol).

To use dates in Python, you can make use of the datetime module, it's straight forward, however, nice program.

Thanks I'll look into that. The list is ranked by first one created that's the closest thing to date I know currently.
