Homework 2: Python Basics

Instructions

Complete the following exercises using the code and concepts from workshop_2. All work should be committed to your GitHub repository that you created in Homework 1.

1. Variables and Naming

Create a Python script that defines at least three variables using proper naming conventions (as shown in naming_convention.py).
Print their values using string formatting.
Use meaningful variable names that describe their purpose.

2. Type Casting

Create a script that demonstrates the conversion between different data types (int, float, str).
Show examples of type casting similar to those in type_casting.py.
Include examples with rounding numbers.

3. String Manipulation

Create a script that demonstrates different string creation methods (single quotes, double quotes, multi-line).
Use escape characters and string operations.
Print the length of different strings as demonstrated in strings.py.

4. Average Calculation

Write a script that calculates and displays the average of three numbers.
Use the approach shown in workshop_2/average.py.
Format the output to display the average with 2 decimal places.

5. Input Basics

Create a script that asks the user for their name and age using the input() function.
Convert the age input to an integer as shown in input_basics.py.
Print personalized output using the collected information.
