\section{Python}

\subsection{Problem Set based on Lists and Tuples}

\begin{frame}
  {Problem set 3}
  As you can guess, idea is to use \kwrd{for}!
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 3.1}
  Which of the earlier problems is simpler when we use \kwrd{for} instead of \kwrd{while}? 
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 3.2}
  Given an empty chessboard and one Bishop placed in any square, say (r, c), generate the list of all squares the Bishop could move to.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Problem 3.3}

  Given two real numbers \typ{a, b}, and an integer \typ{N}, write a
  function named \typ{linspace( a, b, N)} that returns an ordered list
  of \typ{N} points starting with \typ{a} and ending in \typ{b} and
  equally spaced.\\

  For example, \typ{linspace(0, 5, 11)}, should return, \\
\begin{lstlisting}
[ 0.0 ,  0.5,  1.0 ,  1.5,  2.0 ,  2.5,  
  3.0 ,  3.5,  4.0 ,  4.5,  5.0 ]
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Problem 3.4a (optional)}

Use the \typ{linspace} function and generate a list of N tuples of the form\\
\typ{[($x_1$,f($x_1$)),($x_2$,f($x_2$)),\ldots,($x_N$,f($x_N$))]}\\for the following functions,\begin{itemize}
  \item \typ{f(x) = sin(x)}
  \item \typ{f(x) = sin(x) + sin(10*x)}.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Problem 3.4b (optional)}

  Using the tuples generated earlier, determine the intervals where the roots of the functions lie.

\subsection{IO}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Simple tokenizing and parsing}
  \begin{lstlisting}
s = """The quick brown fox jumped
       over the lazy dog"""
for word in s.split():
    print word.capitalize()
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Problem 4.1}
  Given a string like, ``1, 3-7, 12, 15, 18-21'', produce the list \\
  \begin{lstlisting}
    [1,3,4,5,6,7,12,15,18,19,20,21]
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{File handling}
\begin{lstlisting}
>>> f = open('/path/to/file_name')
>>> data = f.read() # Read entire file.
>>> line = f.readline() # Read one line.
>>> f.close() # close the file.
\end{lstlisting}
Writing files
\begin{lstlisting}
>>> f = open('/path/to/file_name', 'w')
>>> f.write('hello world\n')
>>> f.close()
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{itemize}
    \item Everything read or written is a string
\end{itemize}
\emphbar{Try \typ{file?} for more help}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
    \frametitle{File and \kwrd{for}}
\begin{lstlisting}
>>> f = open('/path/to/file_name')
>>> for line in f:
...     print line
...
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 4.2}
    The given file has lakhs of records in the form:\\
    \typ{RGN;ID;NAME;MARK1;\ldots;MARK5;TOTAL;PFW}\\
    Some entries may be empty.  Read the data from this file and print the
    name of the student with the maximum total marks.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 4.3}
    For the same data file compute the average marks in different
    subjects, the student with the maximum mark in each subject and also
    the standard deviation of the marks.  Do this efficiently.

\subsection{Modules}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
    {Modules}
\begin{lstlisting}
>>> sqrt(2)

\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
    {Modules}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item The \kwrd{import} keyword ``loads'' a module
    \item One can also use:
      \begin{lstlisting}
>>> from math import sqrt
>>> from math import *
      \end{lstlisting}    
    \item What is the difference?
    \item \alert{Use the later only in interactive mode}
    \end{itemize}
