Continuing on with Programming 102 via FutureLearn, and onto Week 4’s Tasks and Challenges. 4.5 Implementing Linear Search Task: “Have a go at implementing your own linear search function, in a way that would work on an unsorted sequence of integers.” # geektechstuff # Linear Search sequence = [‘A’,’B’,’C’,’D’] def…

Although it is still officially “week 1” of Programming 102: Think Like A Computer Scientist I’m onto week 3 as I’ve been enjoying the course and like the little programming tasks/challenges. 3.5 Implementing Bubble Sort Task: “Now you’re going to write a bubble sort program in Python” my_list = [5,9,5,8,1,3]…

This blog post continues on from my previous Programming 102 tasks/challenges. 2.5 Strings As Lists Task: “On scoreboards, sports teams are sometimes referred to using a contraction of their name, often the first three letters.
