Lists

I’m sharing a wrapper program written in python to backup my files in my device using restic. import subprocess restic_command = ['restic', 'backup'] backup = ["C:\\Users\\veronica\\ibisPaint", "C:\\Users\\veronica\\Pictures", "C:\\Users\\veronica\\Documents"] print("List of directories to be backed up:\n" ) #list the files that will be backed up. #enumerate = allows you to keep track of the number of iterations in a loop. for number, dir in enumerate(backup, start=1): print(f" {number}. {dir}") # Or: print(" " + str(number) + ".", letter ) # \n makes a new line print("\nBackup process started...\n") # combines the lists together. backup_command = restic_command + backup restic = subprocess.run(backup_command, shell=True) The end. -w- ...

Today, I was given an assignment to write a program to implement an atm dispenser in the following notes: 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5. If the amount is not a multiply of 5, the atm will return a list of 0. In the code are short explanations of why I used it. # asks the customer to enter an amount of number. atm = int(input("Enter an amount in a multiple of 5: ")) # This takes in a amount parameter which is the input from the user and return an array of bills in the following orders: [$100, $50, $20, $10, $5]. def dispenser(amount): # if statement to check if number entered is divisible by 5. If not, return with 0, if yes, continue code. if atm % 5 != 0: return [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] result = [] bill_types = [100, 50, 20, 10, 5] # starts with the starting amount being divided by each number in bill_types. for each_note in bill_types: note_counts = amount // each_note result.append(note_counts) # get the remainder and overwrite the previous. amount = amount % each_note return result # The code below is what will be given back as a sentence to the customer. print(f"You entered ${atm}: {dispenser(atm)}")

Today, I just got back to python after a few months. So when coming back, I got an assignment. My assignment was to check if a year is a leap year. In the assignment, it also gave hints. These were the hints: A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day (February 29th) compared to a common year. It occurs once every four year. s This is how you can determine if a year is a leap year or not: ...

Halooo! Today I’ll be teaching you how to find the second largest value in a list. The conditions - Write a Python program that prints the second largest value in a list. If the list is empty or only has one element, print None.SSS To do this, we’ll have to make a list and then sort it and then we use the if statement and else. Input: lista = [1, 4, 8, 9, 100, 200, 30] lista.sort() if len(lista) > 1: print(lista[-2]) else: print("None") Output - ...

Haloo people! How long has it been since I’ve done a blog post? Welp, I’ve finished my long break and now it’s time to get back to work. Today, I’ll be writing a python program that prints the elements of one list (a) that are not in the other list (b) as a list. My conditions are: If the lists have the same elements, it will print an empty list. If the first list (a) is an empty list, it’ll print an empty list. An example - ...
