Setup

• Ensure have at least Python 3.6 or later (we recommend 3.12 or later) installed on your computer. You can do a quick search and download it from a trusted provider for your platform.

• Ensure you have an IDE or a place where you can code and run the Python interpreter.

Tip

We use Visual Studio Code. It's fast, efficient, and has many extensions and customizability options.

  3. Compare the input to a valid range within 10 of the random number.
  4. Display the result.

• Tips:

  Tip 1:

  Use the random module to generate a random number within the range.

  Tip 2:

  Use input() to prompt the user for input.

  Tip 3:

  Use conditional statements to check for valid values within the range of 10. Learn more from here: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_conditions.asp

  Tip 4:

  Print out the result using print(). Learn more from here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print

3. Password Generator

• Description: Build a simple password generator than can generate custom length passwords, from 8 up to 128 characters. Use uppercase, lowercase, symbols, and numbers.

• Solution: https://github.com/Infinitode/Python-Projects/blob/main/Beginner/3_password_generator.py

• Steps:

  1. Define your password generator's maps or strings.
  2. Prompt the user for a number [8 - 128] input.
  3. Generate the password.
  4. Display the result.

• Tips:

  Tip 1:

  Use the string module for character sets like punctuation, letters or special characters.

  Tip 2:

  Use input() to prompt the user for input.

  Tip 3:

  Use a loop to generate the password up until the given length.

  Tip 4:

  Print out the result using print().

4. Tip Calculator

• Description: Build a simple tip calculator, that calculates the tip based on the total and the desired percentage with splits.

• Solution: https://github.com/Infinitode/Python-Projects/blob/main/Beginner/4_tip_calculator.py

• Steps:

  1. Get the total from the user.
  2. Get the tip percentage from the user.
  3. Get the amount of people who should split the bill.
  4. Calculate the tip.
  5. Display the result.

• Tips:

  Tip 1:

  Get all inputs using input().

  Tip 2:

  Calculate the tip_amount, new_total and splits_per_person using basic arithmetic and math.

  Tip 3:

  Print out the result using print().

5. Temperature Converter

• Description: Build a simple temperature converter that converts between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

• Solution: https://github.com/Infinitode/Python-Projects/blob/main/Beginner/5_temperature_converter.py

• Steps:

  1. Define conversion values for each conversion.
  2. Prompt the user for the unit to convert to, and from.
  3. Prompt the user for a temperature value.
  4. Convert.
  5. Display the result.

• Tips:

  Tip 1:

  Use predefined formulas for accurate conversion between units.

  Tip 2:

  Use input() to prompt the user for input.

  Tip 3:

  Print out the result using print().

• Tips:

  Tip 1:

  Use input() for input.

  Tip 2:

  You can easily reverse the string using array manipulation techniques. [::-1]

  Tip 3:

  Print out the result using print().

7. Word Counter

• Description: Build a simple word counter.

• Solution: https://github.com/Infinitode/Python-Projects/blob/main/Beginner/7_word_counter.py
