3.2 Hacks

Hack #1

Create a list of data that could work with your GitHub Pages Blog Topic. For example, if your blog was about movies from different genres, make a list of movies for every genre.

# Define a dictionary with tech gadgets categorized by type
tech_gadgets = {
    "Smartphones": ["iPhone 15", "Google Pixel 8", "Samsung Galaxy S23"],
    "Laptops": ["MacBook Air", "Dell XPS 13", "Microsoft Surface Laptop 5"],
    "Wearables": ["Apple Watch Series 9", "Fitbit Charge 5", "Garmin Fenix 7"],
    "Headphones": ["Sony WH-1000XM5", "Bose QuietComfort 45", "AirPods Pro 2"]
}

# Function to print the list of gadgets by category
def print_gadgets(gadgets):
    for category, items in gadgets.items():
        print(f"\n{category}:")
        for item in items:
            print(f" - {item}")

# Call the function to display gadgets
print_gadgets(tech_gadgets)

Hack #2

Try creating a dictionary for your github homepage that contains what was within each sprint. For example, in Sprint 1, we had frontend development, github pages playgroud, and javascript playground.

sprints = {
    'Sprint1': ['Frontend Development', 'Github Pages Playground', 'Javascript Playground'],
    'Sprint2': ['Big Ideas 3.2']
}

print(sprints['Sprint1'])
if "Frontend Development" in sprints['Sprint1']:
    print(True) 
else:
    print(False)

# Output:
# ['Frontend Development', 'Github Pages Playground', 'Javascript Playground']
# True

Hack #3

• Try to create a mix of list and dictionaries to represent a real world collection of data
• The system i created is a Library System
  
  

# List of dictionaries representing books in a library
library = [
    {
        "title": "The Six of Crow",
        "author": "Leigh Bardugo",
        "genre": "Fantasy",
        "copies_available": 2,
        "borrowers": [
            {"name": "Katherine Chen", "borrow_date": "2024-09-10"},
            {"name": "Aditi Bandaru", "borrow_date": "2024-09-15"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "title": "A Game of Thrones",
        "author": "George R.R. Martin",
        "genre": "Action",
        "copies_available": 1,
        "borrowers": [
            {"name": "Soni Dhenuva", "borrow_date": "2024-09-08"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "title": "Percy Jackson : The Last Olympian",
        "author": "Rick Riordan",
        "genre": "Adventure",
        "copies_available": 0,
        "borrowers": [
            {"name": "Sanya Kapoor", "borrow_date": "2024-09-05"},
            
        ]
    }
]

# Display information about each book in the library
for book in library:
    print(f"Title: {book['title']}")
    print(f"Author: {book['author']}")
    print(f"Genre: {book['genre']}")
    print(f"Copies Available: {book['copies_available']}")
    print("Borrowers:")
    for borrower in book['borrowers']:
        print(f" - {borrower['name']} (Borrowed on: {borrower['borrow_date']})")
    print("\n")
