3.6 Homework and Popcorn Hacks

Popcorn Hack 1

# Step 1: Add a variable that represents temperature
temperature = 65  # You can change this value to test different conditions

# Step 2: Check if it's a hot, warm, or cold day
if temperature >= 80:
    print("It's a hot day")
elif 60 <= temperature < 80:
    print("It's a warm day")
else:
    print("It's a cold day")

## Verbal explanation of the code: Adding the elif statement adds an extra condition that is checked in the if-else statement. 
## If the temperature is between 60 and 80, it will print "It's a warm day".
## If the temperature is less than 60, it will print "It's a cold day".
## The range also does not include 80 for the elif so it will go until 80 but not inclide 80.

It's a warm day

Popcorn Hack 2

%%js

let score = 85;

if (score >= 60) {
    console.log("You passed!");
} else {
    console.log("You failed.");
}

// Verbal explanation of the code:
// If the score is greater than or equal to 60, the code will print "You passed!".
// Otherwise, it will print "You failed.". This uses an if-else statement to check the score and determine the output.

Homework Hacks in Python

Hack 1: Odd or Even Checker

def check_odd_even(num): ## Function to check if a number is odd or even, the function takes a number as an argument
    if num % 2 == 0: ## If the number is divisible by 2, it is even
        print("Even")
    else:
        print("Odd")

check_odd_even(5)
check_odd_even(10)
check_odd_even(12)

Odd
Even
Even

Hack 2: Leap Year Checker

def is_leap_year(year):
    # Check if the year is divisible by 4 but not by 100, or divisible by 400
    if (year % 4 == 0 and year % 100 != 0) or (year % 400 == 0):
        return "Leap Year"
    else:
        return "Not a Leap Year"

# Test the function with different years
print(is_leap_year(1804))
print(is_leap_year(1900))
print(is_leap_year(2074))
print(is_leap_year(2024))

Leap Year
Not a Leap Year
Not a Leap Year
Leap Year

Hack 3: Temperature Range Checker

def temperature_range(temperature): ## Function to check the temperature range, the function takes a temperature as an argument
    if temperature >= 85: ## If the temperature is greater than or equal to 85, it is hot
        return "Hot"
    elif 60 <= temperature <= 80:   ## If the temperature is between 60 and 80, it is warm
        return "Warm"
    else:
        return "Cold" ## If the temperature is less than 60, it is cold
    
# Test the function with different temperatures
print(temperature_range(90))
print(temperature_range(70))
print(temperature_range(50))

Hot
Warm
Cold

Hack 2: Grade Calculator

%%js

function getGrade(score) {
    // if score is greater than or equal to 90, return "A"
    if (score >= 90) {
        return "A";
    // if score is greater than or equal to 80, return "B"
    } else if (score >= 80) {
        return "B";
    // if score is greater than or equal to 70, return "C"
    } else if (score >= 70) {
        return "C";
    // if score is greater than or equal to 60, return "D"
    } else if (score >= 60) {
        return "D";
    // if score is less than 60, return "F"
    } else {
        return "F";
    }
}

console.log(getGrade(85));
console.log(getGrade(72));
console.log(getGrade(50));
console.log(getGrade(95));

Hack 3: Temperature Converter

%%js

function convertTemperature(value, scale) {
    if (scale === "C") {
        return (value * 9/5) + 32  + "°F";
    } else if (scale === "F") {
        return (value - 32) * 5/9 + "°C";
    } else {
        return "Invalid scale";
    }
}

console.log(convertTemperature(32, "C"));
console.log(convertTemperature(100, "F"));
console.log(convertTemperature(0, "C"));
console.log(convertTemperature(212, "F"));
console.log(convertTemperature(50, "K"));
