Hi, let us check the given string against a valid character list. There might be numerous way to do this. Here is a sample one.

 

str_to_check = "1234-3*33?3+----!"
valid_chars = "0123456789-+"
uyan_char_sayisi = 0
uymayan_listesi = ""
uymayan_char_sayisi = 0

str_to_check_uzunluk = len(str_to_check)
valid_chars_uzunluk = len(valid_chars)
#print(str_to_check_uzunluk)
for i in range(0,str_to_check_uzunluk):
    for j in range(0,valid_chars_uzunluk):
        if str_to_check[i] == valid_chars[j]:
            uyan_char_sayisi += 1
    if not str_to_check[i] in valid_chars:
        uymayan_listesi += str_to_check[i]

if uyan_char_sayisi == str_to_check_uzunluk:
    print("String is valid")
else:
    print("String is invalid")
print("Here is/are the invalid character(s) :",uymayan_listesi)

The output will be;
String is invalid
Here is/are the invalid character(s) : *?!

Hi all, here are more examples for error handling.

my_value = 10

try:
    print(1 / my_value)
    print("No error occurred!")
except NameError:
    print("A NameError occurred!")
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("A ZeroDivisionError occurred!")
except TypeError:
    print("A TypeError occurred!")
print("Done!")
We catch three error types.

try:
    print(undeclared_variable)     #---> cause of a NameError
    print(1 / 0)                  #---> cause of a ZeroDivisionError
    print("No error occurred!")
except NameError:
    print("A NameError occurred!")
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("A ZeroDivisionError occurred!")
print("Done!")

Hi all, here are the samples for error handling with try/catch.

my_value = "0"
try:
    print(10 / my_value)

except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Can't divide by zero")
except:
    print("Not possible")
When you run the code, here is the output
Not possible

my_value = 0
try:
    print(10 / my_value)

except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Can't divide by zero")
except:
    print("Not possible")
When you rune the code, here is the output
Can't divide by zero

my_value = 5
try:
    print(10 / my_value)

except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Can't divide by zero")
except:
    print("Not possible")
When you run the code, here is the output
2.0

Hi  all, this a function usage sample and it aims to find average word count in a given string.  We call word_count and letter_count functions in average_word_length function. That’s all 🙂

def word_count(a_string):
    space_count = 0
    word_count = 0
    for i in a_string:
        if i == " ":
            space_count = space_count + 1
    word_count = space_count + 1
    return word_count


def letter_count(a_string):
    letter_count = 0
    for i in a_string:
        if i.isalpha() or i != " ":
            letter_count += 1
    return letter_count


def average_word_length(a_string):
    average_word_length = 0
    harf_sayisi = letter_count(a_string)
    kelime_sayisi = word_count(a_string)
    average_word_length = harf_sayisi/kelime_sayisi
    return average_word_length

a_string = "Up with the black and silver"
print(average_word_length(a_string))
print("kelime sayisi",word_count(a_string))
print("harf sayisi",letter_count(a_string))

The output should be 3.8333333333333335

Hi, here is a sample for getting current date and print it. There are various string formating that you can choose regarding to your needs.

In order to drop the leading zero (01/09/2018 > 1/9/2018) you can apply “-” or “#”. I added a comment for this.

from datetime import date
#gun=date.today()
#gun1=gun.strftime("%Y/%m/%d")
#print(gun.strftime("%Y/%m/%d"))
#print(gun1)
def get_todays_date():
    gun = date.today()
    gun1 = gun.strftime("%Y/%#m/%#d")  #windows pc'lerde # , linux vb. de # yerine -
    return gun1
print(get_todays_date())

Hi, I guess this is not the best practice but it works 🙂

Let’s count “cat” in a given string.

mystery_string = "why cat wy dog cat cacacat cacacat o cat bye cat cat"
uzunluk_my_string = len(mystery_string)
cat_sayisi = 0
#print(uzunluk_my_string)
for i in range(0,uzunluk_my_string):
    #print(i)
    if mystery_string[i] == "c":
        #print(i," ",mystery_string[i])
        if mystery_string[i+1] == "a":
            if mystery_string[i+2] == "t":
                cat_sayisi = cat_sayisi + 1
                #print(cat_sayisi)
            #else:
                #break
        #else:
            #break

print(cat_sayisi)

# The output is 7

Hi, here is a time table code for a given value. The tricky part is the 2nd print() function. It starts a new line.

my_int = 5
for i in range(1,my_int+1):
    for j in range(1,my_int+1):
        print(i*j,end= "\t")
    print()
#The output is shown below
1	2	3	4	5	
2	4	6	8	10	
3	6	9	12	15	
4	8	12	16	20	
5	10	15	20	25	

You can add some formatting as shown below

my_int = 5
for i in range(1,my_int+1):
    for j in range(1,my_int+1):
        print("{:5}".format(i*j),end= "\t")
    print()
#The output is shown below
    1	    2	    3	    4	    5	
    2	    4	    6	    8	   10	
    3	    6	    9	   12	   15	
    4	    8	   12	   16	   20	
    5	   10	   15	   20	   25	

Hi, these functions, for example , convert a letter into its corresponding ascii code and vice versa.

ord(A) –> give the value of 65

chr(65) –> would give “A”

Here is a sample code for printing the alphabet 🙂

start_character = "A"
end_character = "Z"
for i in range(ord(start_character),ord(end_character)+1):
    print(chr(i))

Hi, I am sure there are numerous way to solve this. Here is a way:

import random
keepPlaying="y"

while keepPlaying == "y":
    print("Game start!")
    hiddenNumber = random.randint(1,100)
    userGuess=0
    while not userGuess == hiddenNumber:
        userGuess = int(input("Guess a number:"))
        if userGuess > hiddenNumber:
            print("Too high")
        elif userGuess < hiddenNumber:
            print("Too low")
        else:
            print("That's right")
    keepPlaying = input("Play again ? y or n")

Regards.
