6.2.1. Task 1#

Learning Objectives#

Create simple UDF’s and conditional statements in Python. Practice writing a UDF in the same file as the main script and calling the respective function in the main script.

Task Instructions#

Compare your results for the pre-task assignment with your team members (Task 0). Run each member’s code and compare results with the given solutions. Discuss the differences and similarities of your approaches, highlighting strengths of each.

Choose one team member’s pre-class activity working code file to turn in as a part of this reflection. Save the file as py2_team_1_teamnumber.py and turn it in with the remainder of the team task assignment files in Gradescope.

Answer the following questions in a reflection:

  1. What similarities did you notice between the team’s codes? What differences?

  2. For each team member, rank your comfort level in the following skills from \(1\) (not comfortable) to \(5\) (most comfortable).

    1. Creating UDFs in Python

    2. Implementing nested conditional statements

    3. Returning calculated output from a UDF

  3. Which working code did the team decide to submit and why? What are the strengths of this approach?

Save the reflection as py2_team_teamnumber.pdf and turn it in with the remainder of the team task assignment files in Gradescope.
