In this video we show that we can nest dictionaries just like we nested lists. In fact, a lot of real world data is represented this way. We show off a particularly complicated JSON file that…

Since dictionaries are mutable, we must represent them with folders. In this video we show what these folders must look like. In doing so, we see that they look suspiciously similar to other folders…

In this video, we introduce a dictionary as a collection of key-value pairs. We also show how to write a dictionary expression in Python. It looks just like a JSON string, but without the quotes.

Up until now, we have claimed that it does not matter how you divide your date in divide-and-conquer. In this video we show one of the ways in which it might matter. In particular, not thinking about…

Sometimes we need to perform a calculation on a string, list, or tuple, but we do not want to loop over this value. Instead, we want to loop over the positions of the value. In this video we show why…

One of the techniques that we say in the previous video was the accumulator variable. In this video we show that this is a general technique used in a fruitful function that requires a for-loop.

Lists have many of the same methods as tuples. But since they are mutable, they have even more. In this video we show off some of the mutable methods of lists, which are methods that can alter the…

Tuples are very, very similar to strings. In this video we explore this similarity, showing that they support many of the same operations and methods.

In this video we introduce the first new sliceable type, the tuple. We show why we need this new type, and why it is more flexible than a string.

We now know how to do assert statements to create errors. But the error messages are a little cryptic. In this video we talk about how we can do a better job.

Objects have an interesting feature that we saw before we strings: they have methods in addition to functions. In this video we talk about those methods, and how they differ from string methods.

In this video we introduce pseudocode, which is a step-by-step English description of what we want to do. The goal is provide an outline that we convert into Python later.

In this class we review how to process text in Python. These techniques we are reinforcing will be used in the first assignment.As part of today’s class, we have provided some additional demo…
