Python RegEx

Learning outcomes

  1. Practice the use of Git and GitHub.
  2. Practice the use of Python to run commands.
  3. Practice the use of Python to interact with files.

Goals

This is a collection of Python exercises and coding challenges. The focus in this assignment is to:

  • Practice problem solving.
  • Practice Python fundamentals.
  • Practice using the official documentation

Guidelines

  • This assignment utilized automated-tests to check for the correctness of your code. These tests can be a bit specific about what you name things
    • Please Follow the instructions on this assignment for the best outcome.
  • Make a habit of committing and pushing your code frequently to GitHub.
  • Make sure to meaningful commit messages that describe what you did.
  • Make sure the automated tests and checks continue to pass after you make changes.
  • To be able to run the automated grading checks, make sure you have installed Python 3
  • Don't forget to fill out the self assessment on the README file

Instructions

  1. Accept the Assignment on Canvas.
  • This will create a repository for you with a few starting files.
      .
    ├── .vscode
    │ └── settings.json
    ├── regex.py ⬅️
    ├── test_regex.py
    ├── .gitignore
    ├── requirements.txt
    └── README.md 🔼: update this once done
  • You will only be working on the files marked with the arrows
  1. Clone down the repository to your local computer.
  2. Install the project dependencies using the pip install -r requirements.txt command.
  • Make sure you're in the project directory in the terminal before you run this command.
  1. Run the project tests using the command pytest The starter code has invalid syntax so the tests will fail to run

  2. Our task would be to implement the functions in the files marked with ⬅️ arrow above until all the tests pass.

  3. at the end of each test, commit your code commit logo git commit -m "finished test xyz".

  4. DON'T FORGET to Update the README.md file with your self assessment

    • Your grade
    • Self Reflection
    • How long it took you to complete the assignment
  5. Push your code.
