python-intro-homework

This is your homework repository for the Python Intro course. Each week you'll add your assignment here alongside starter data files provided by the course.

Repository Structure

python-intro-homework/
  week-1/
    data/               ← starter files provided for you
  week-2/
    data/
  ...
  week-7/
    data/
      expenses.csv
      notes.txt
      students.csv
    assignment-7/       ← your work goes here
      warmup1.py
      warmup2.py
      ...

Each week's data/ folder contains any files your assignments need — CSVs, text files, and other resources. Do not edit files in data/. Your work lives in your assignment-[#] folder. Blank folders have a .gitkeep — don't worry about deleting this, it's just a placeholder.

Your Workflow Each Week

1. Pull the latest from main so you have the week's data files:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main

2. Create a new branch for the week's assignment:

   git checkout -b assignment-[#]

3. Create your working folder inside the week's folder:

   mkdir week-[#]/assignment-[#]
   cd week-[#]/assignment-[#]

4. Write your code there. Reference data files using a relative path — for example:

   with open("../data/expenses.csv", "r") as file:
       ...

   The .. moves up one level from your assignment-[#] folder to the week-[#] folder, then into data/. Each week's assignment instructions will show you the exact paths to use.

5. Commit and push your branch, then open a pull request from assignment-[#] into main. Submit the PR link (not the repo link) in the LMS.

What to Submit

Your pull request should contain only your .py files and any output files your programs generate (like food_report.txt). It should not include changes to files in data/.

The PR URL should look like github.com/your-username/python-intro-homework/pull/[number], not the link to your repo homepage.
