Challenge 2.2

Display number of dots from right to left in one line

Challenge Level: Growing experience

Requirement:

Write a program to display numbers 1, 2, 4, 8,... (all in one line) for a given number of cards as the input.

Hints
  • Make variables:

    • number_of_cards to store the number of cards to display entered by the end user as the input (e.g. 4).
    • number_of_dots to store the number of dots.
    • binary_cards which is a variable type string and stores what is going to be displayed on the screen as the output (e.g. "1, 2, 4, 8,").
  • Use the addition operator to combine strings. You can use multiple to combine multiple strings. Remember to check if the spaces are correct between the items being joined!
  • Use the input() function to get the user's input. You can place text inside the brackets of input if you'd like to display your question.
Programming Reminders
# Print a string directly
print("Hello World!")

# Print a variable
print(my_var)

Variables

# Set a variable as a string
fruit_name = "Apple"

# Set a variable as an integer 
pieces_of_fruit = 7

# Set a variable from a calculation
cost_of_fruit = pieces_of_fruit * cost_per_item

# Add one to a value
pieces_of_fruit += 1

Conditionals

# Find out the discount on fruit
if pieces_of_fruit > 100:
   print("Bulk discount applies")
elif pieces_of_fruit > 5:
   print("Discount applies")
else:
   print("No discount")

For loops

# Print numbers 0-9 - remember Python starts counting from 0 
for num in range(10):
    print(num)

While loops

# Print numbers 0-9 using a while loop and a variable
num = 0
while num < 10:
    print(num)

    # Increment the variable by one.
    # It will prevent an infinite loop!
    num += 1 

Lists

# Create a list of fruit 
fruit = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Pear"]

Functions

# Create a function which prints a greeting
def greeting(name):
    print("Hello " + name)

# Call the function
greeting("Spiderman")
