Screenshot with Launchshool exercise instructions on the left, and vscode to the right - with a zip exercise being run.

Moving towards the end of LaunchSchool's PY100 python prep course, I completed the collections exercises in the 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book. Straightforward, but plenty of methods I've not used before, especially 'zip'.

Screenshot showing Launch school instructions to the left of the screen, and IDE implementation of a function comparing a number to a series of if/elif statements.

Today I completed the 'Flow Control' exercises in LaunchSchool's 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book. Fairly straightforward, taught match/case, though none of the exercises used it.

Today I completed the 'Input/Output' and 'Functions and Methods' exercises in LaunchSchool's 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book. I've not used all() or any() before, so trying to fully understand those.

Fairly basic stuff, but completed the 'Basic Operations' exercise in LaunchSchool's 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book. Largely types, casting, comparators.

Straightforward set of tuple and dictionary exercises to round off Data Types in LaunchSchool's 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book. Not new, but good to get into daily study routine.

Injured my back relaying the hens' patio on Friday, so have been easing into the orientation module to Launch School's Python path, then complete through to the Getting Started chapter of their Introduction to Programming with Python book.

I know Python pretty well, so just getting my environment set up, and soaking it back in.

Screenshot of the mooc.fi IDE demonstrating how multiple print functions can produce a single line of output

This section teaches use of f-strings in Python to produce easily customisable variable driven output. Also end="" to prevent print statements terminating to new line - I've never used this.

Reorganises lists for interrogation. Median function is basic & still needs some work.
