Here is your three-day breakdown
0:02
for this lesson.
0:03
It's actually pretty simple.
0:05
There's not much to it because we are dealing
0:07
with data structures.
0:08
Super important though, so very important
0:11
that you get this down.
0:13
For the first day, we're just going to watch the videos.
0:16
Okay, there's not too much involved with this.
0:19
Just watch the videos that we have
0:21
on lists, tuples, dictionaries, and then just have
0:25
a play in the Python shell.
0:26
There's really not much to do.
0:28
So digest the content in the videos
0:30
and then hang around for day two.
0:33
Now the second day, it gets a bit more interesting.
0:37
What I'd like you to do is follow this link here,
0:39
this bites of Py code challenges promotion link.
0:45
This will give you free access to this specific bite.
0:48
This is a little challenge for you.
0:51
We just open it in a new tab.
0:54
Okay, I will log in with GitHub.
0:57
So you have to have your GitHub account ready.
1:00
And there you go.
1:02
So I'm already a premium member obviously,
1:04
but this will unlock this bite for you to work on
1:09
if you are not already a premium member.
1:12
This here is regarding dictionaries.
1:14
So have a good play with this.
1:16
Enjoy the challenge.
1:18
Work on it in the command line within your browser
1:22
and do that for day two.
1:26
Back for day three, this gets a little more tricky.
1:29
What I'd like you to do is a bit different as well.
1:31
I'd like you to go into this data.py file
1:36
which is here in the repo.
1:37
And I'd like you to just have a quick look
1:39
at the dictionary and the lists that are in there.
1:43
It is pretty much a list of just the United States states
1:48
and the acronym used for them.
1:52
So what you can do then is complete each one
1:57
of these little tasks, okay.
2:00
It will involve you actioning or working against
2:04
the list in the dictionary, pulling out data
2:06
and just playing around with them.
2:09
So you'll need to pull them into some,
2:12
whatever script, import them to whatever script
2:14
you'll be running this from.
2:16
And just remember that dictionaries are unsorted
2:20
so that should make this a little more tricky.
2:22
Alright, so that's your day three.
2:24
Just playing around with that data.py file.
2:26
Obviously if you want to play around with it
2:28
in any other way, go ahead, feel free.
2:31
But this is just a couple of quick,
2:33
these are just a couple of quick tasks for you to do
2:36
that should give you around 15 or 20 minutes worth
2:39
of practice which is what we're aiming for.
2:42
So enjoy, these are your three days
2:44
and let's get on with the video.
