bfi-python-intro

Feel free to use this repository as template for practical python examples. The try to cover a few basic topics:

1. loops
2. if-statements
3. functions
4. unit tests (to verify the code)

how to run the tests

simply call python unittests.py from a command line of your choice

in your IDE (e.g. pyCharm)

do not forget to mark the samples directory as sources root!

how to run commandline programs

many of the python scripts have a run() method that runs the commandline program. On the shell of your choice execute the following steps:

python

>>> import binary

>>> binary.run()

This will call the (very simple) CLI.

binary.py

Contains a function to_binarythat converts an integer into its binary representation (str).

factorial.py

Contains a function calc_factorial that computes the factorial for any given positive integer N.

primecheck.py

Contains a function checking if a given number is a prime.

primeseq2.py

Computes all prime numbers up to a given upper limit.

car_management.py

contains a small program reading input from stdin along some basic error handling.

Please note

that this repository serves the sole purpose of demonstrating very basic semantic concepts to an audience with little to no programming knowledge. I know very well that in production software one would do things differently, but for the sake of clarity much of the usual project setup has been ditched.
