Python Basics Project

Welcome to the Python Basics Project! In this project, you will practice working with user inputs, variables, data types, data structures, if/else statements, and for/while loops.

Instructions

1. Fork the Repository:

   • Click the "Fork" button on the top right of this repository to create your own copy.

2. Clone Your Fork:

   • Clone your forked repository to your local machine:

     git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Python-101.git

3. Create a Branch:

   • Create a branch with your name (e.g., Monwabisi):

     git checkout -b YOUR_NAME

4. Complete the Tasks:

   • Open tasks.py and implement the functions as described in the docstrings.
   • Test your implementation using the provided unit tests.

5. Run the Tests:

   • Install pytest if you don't have it:

     pip install pytest

   • Run the tests:

     pytest test_tasks.py

6. Commit and Push Your Changes:

   • Add your changes:

     git add tasks.py

   • Commit your changes:

     git commit -m "Completed tasks"

   • Push your changes to your branch:

     git push origin YOUR_NAME

7. Submit a Pull Request:

   • Go to your forked repository on GitHub and click "New Pull Request".
   • Select your branch (YOUR_NAME) and submit the pull request to the main repository.

Tasks Overview

Task 1: User Input and Variables

• Ask the user for their name, age, and favorite color.
• Return a dictionary with the collected information.

Task 2: Data Types and Variables

• Calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) using weight and height.
• Return the BMI rounded to 2 decimal places.

Task 3: Data Structures (Lists)

• Create a shopping list from a list of items.
• Return a dictionary with items as keys and quantities as values.

Task 4: Data Structures (Dictionaries)

• Count the frequency of each word in a string.
• Return a dictionary with words as keys and frequencies as values.

Task 5: If/Else Statements

• Check if a number is positive, negative, or zero.
• Return the appropriate string.

Task 6: For Loops

• Sum all even numbers in a list.
• Return the sum.

Task 7: While Loops

• Find the first negative number in a list.
• Return the first negative number or None if there are no negative numbers.

Task 8: Combined Concepts

• Analyze a string to count the number of words and vowels.
• Return a dictionary with the results.

Running Tests

To run the tests, use the following command:
