🏷️ Labels: Data Science, Python, String Manipulation, Audio Testing, Financial Simulation
📂 Project: Teaching
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to explore efficient data structures for searching within lists and to practice Python string manipulation techniques.
Key Activities
- Discussed the importance of using efficient data structures like sets to enhance search speed in large datasets.
- Implemented a function
mas_larga(lista1, lista2)to compare list lengths, useful for handling datasets. - Developed a Python function
mezclarto interleave characters from two strings, demonstrating string manipulation. - Explored audio functionality testing by mixing names ‘Pepe’ and ‘Jose’ using Python functions.
- Conducted a financial simulation exercise to teach basic mortgage concepts, including the effect of extra payments.
- Engaged in a ‘geringoso’ translator exercise to practice string manipulation and dictionary usage.
Achievements
- Clarified the use of sets for efficient data searching.
- Successfully implemented and tested Python functions for string interleaving and list comparison.
- Completed a financial simulation exercise, enhancing understanding of mortgage payments.
- Practiced and understood ‘geringoso’ translation, enhancing Python skills.
Pending Tasks
- Further exploration of audio functionality testing in Python.
- Additional exercises to prepare for upcoming classes.
