[Tutor] forcing the None values of a dictionary

2012-10-03 Thread Brannon, Terrence
I'm wondering if there is something I overlooked for this function I wrote... 
and also whether it could've been done destrictively instead of returning a new 
dictionary:

def dictNoneValueTo(d, new_value=''):
force None values in a dictionary to a default value
for k in d:
if d[k] is None:
d[k] = new_value
return d

Re: [Tutor] Print List

Subject: [Tutor] Print List


I am trying to complete the following below:



You also need to write a function printList of one parameter that

takes a list as its input

[Terrence Brannon] since it is taking a list as its input, why not call it 
students or simply list? Calling it lists implies that it is a list that 
contains other lists

and neatly prints the entire contents of the

list in a column. Each student in the list should be printed using __str__.



So far i have:



def printList(lists):

print(First Name\tLast Name\tCredits\tGPA)

for i in lists:

print (i)



Any Suggestions or Corrections?

[Terrence Brannon]

def print_list(students):

for student in students:

   print({0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}.format(student.first_name, student.last_name, 
student.credits, student.gpa))



OHHH Wait a minute... that means you need to redefine the __str__() method 
of your Student class:



class Student(object):

  

 def __str__(self):

return {0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}.format(student.first_name, student.last_name, 
student.credits, student.gpa)



And then print_list is simply:

def print_list(students):

for student in students:

   print student

Are there any better resources for learning classes for someone who's never 
touched object oriented programming in the past besides basic interpretation 
for debugging purposes?

[Terrence Brannon] Why don't you read this 
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html and write to this list regarding 
the first thing you don't understand.

I have a question. In a assignment it asks for me to do the following below...


if peek then print the Student object at the beginning

   of the list (using __str__) but don't remove it from

   the list;



Could you explain what it means?



This is what I have so far,

elif ask == peek:

print(First Name In List =, names[0])

How would you make it a string?

[Terrence Brannon] print(First name in List ={0}.format(names[0]))
