Screenshot of Successful Script Result

Description of Script

The screenshot displays the successful results of my Python script execution. The output includes:

1. Printing Last Name:
  • The name "Klinkhamer" is printed as the last name from the list of names.
2. Dice Game Results:
  • The results of a simulated dice game for multiple players. Each player's roll result is displayed along with whether they won, tied, or lost. For example:
    • Tom rolls a 0 out of 6 and loses.
    • Phillip rolls a 13 out of 14 and wins.
    • Mary rolls a 4 out of 8 and gets a tie.
3. Random Integer List Generation:
  • A list of 20 randomly generated integers between 0 and 10 is shown: 
    • [7, 1, 6, 3, 1, 9, 0, 10, 0, 0, 9, 10, 8, 9, 10, 8, 8, 6, 0, 2, 6]
4. Removing an Unlucky Number:
  • The unlucky number 3 is identified and removed from the list.
  • The list after removing the unlucky number 3 is updated and displayed: 
    • [7, 1, 6, 1, 9, 0, 10, 0, 0, 9, 10, 8, 9, 10, 8, 8, 6, 0, 2, 6]
This output demonstrates the successful completion of all tasks the lab assignment requires.

Process Summary Notes

For step 3, where we’re required to write an if statement that uses a break statement to end the section of code, I believe I could just use: while counter < 20 to break the loop instead of the if statement.

M1 - Python Environments & Flowcharts

  Python Module 1 Recap: From Scripts to Flowcharts and Zen Principles Converting 3 Radians to Degrees To convert 3 radians to degrees, we use a simple formula: degrees = radians * 180 / pi Below is the flowchart illustrating the conversion process: Running the calculations in IDLE gives us:  ≈ 171.887 Interpretation of the Zen of Python The "Zen of Python" showcases the philosophy and guiding principles of Python programming. It emphasizes simplicity, readability, and clarity in code. In other words, “Zen of Python” promotes straightforward and elegant solutions over complicated ones. By valuing explicitness over implicitness, the basis of Python encourages clear and understandable code. Moreover, The principles highlight the importance of practicality and avoiding unnecessary complexity— why use 4 lines of code when 1 will do the same thing? This mentality helps to balance between purity and practicality. Overall, the “Zen of Python” advocates for writing code that is easy

GIS Map Projections

Image
  This week's lab exercise looked at the importance of map projections in GIS, especially when using multiple datasets. The map above shows four counties in Florida that are displayed using the Albers Conical Equal Area, NAD 1983 UTM Zone 16N, and NAD 1983 HARN State Plane Florida North FIPS 0903 (US Feet) map projections. As the table within the map shows, the areas of the counties vary depending on the map projections. The best map projections are ones that shows the least distortion between map features. For example, The UTM projection is best when used the map features fit within one UTM zone, which is not the case for showing the entire state of Florida. The same can be said for the Florida State Plane that is dependent on the region of interest. Therefore, the map projection would need to be Albers since it minimizes distortion between its standard parallels.  Overall, this lab illustrates how important it is to use accurate map projections since it can cause distortions betw

ArcGIS Pro Orientation

  Module 1 Lab Assignment This first lab assignment's objective is to prepare and show what is expected for future lab assignments. The primary learning outcomes involved: Getting familiar with accessing the ArcGIS software through Argo Apps. Assessing data storage drives. Preparing project folders for each project. The map shown above is a visualization of the Cities and World Countries data files found in the OverviewArcGIS file in the R drive. In order to view the shapefiles in a way that is informative, we had to add a Folder Connection to the data we downloaded as well as update the symbology to show graduated colors for the field POP_2007 with Natural Breaks and 7 classes. It is important to use a single color from light to dark when using sequential data. While I wish this had been a smooth and uncomplicated process, I struggled with learning UWF's Argo Apps since that is how we access ArcGIS Pro without downloading it to our personal computers. While I am familiar with
