program with input-sharon

peer review:

could have made the program more complex and used multiple variables
can include error message if invalid input is entered
Maybe include some sort of greeting message

#ask the user their age, store using the variable 'name'
name=input('What is your name? ')

#display the name or input for the user to see as a greeting
print('Hello '+ name + '!!')

Hello sharon!!

Variable Names: Your variable names f, c, m, and n are quite concise, which can be good for small scripts, but it’s generally a good practice to use more descriptive variable names to improve code readability. For example, you can use fahrenheit_input, celsius_input, celsius_output, and fahrenheit_output for more clarity.
Error Handling: Your code assumes that the user will input valid numerical values for temperatures. It’s a good practice to include error handling in case the user enters something that’s not a number.
Formatting: You might want to consider formatting the output to provide a more user-friendly result. For example, you can round the temperature values to a certain number of decimal places.

#ask user for their original temperature in farenheit 
#use  'int' to store a numerical value
f=int(input('what is your temperatire in farenheit? '))
#convert farnheit to celcius using mathematical operation
#equation is Temperature(°C) = (Temperature in°F) - 32) × 5/9
c=(f-32)*(5/9)
#print output to user
print('this is your temperature in celcius ',c)

#celcius to farenheit conversion
m=int(input('what is your temperature in celcius? '))
n=(m*(9/5)+32)
print('this is your temperature in farenheit ',n)

this is your temperature in celcius  20.0
this is your temperature in farenheit  89.6

Program with a list- alara

chatgpt/peer review:

The code you’ve provided is well-structured and accomplishes its intended tasks clearly. It demonstrates two different examples: one involving a list of random numbers and basic operations like sum, maximum, and minimum calculations, and the other involving iteration using a for loop to square numbers and calculate their sum.

Here are some points to consider:

Comments and Documentation: Your code includes comments that explain each step and its purpose. This is excellent for clarity and understanding. It’s always a good practice to provide clear documentation in your code.

Code Reusability: In the first example, you use list comprehension to generate a list of random numbers. This is a concise and efficient way to create the list. However, in a real program, you might want to consider making this code more modular by placing it in a function so that you can easily generate random lists of numbers whenever needed.

Variable Names: Variable names like numbers, sum_of_numbers, max_number, and min_number are descriptive and clear. In the second example, squared_numbers and sum_of_squared_numbers also have meaningful names. Good variable naming contributes to code readability.

Efficiency: The second example calculates the sum of squared numbers using a loop. While this is fine for a small list like the one in your example, for larger datasets, you might consider using built-in functions like sum() to improve efficiency and readability:

# Program Function and Purpose
## Program With a List
# Importing necessary libraries (optional for this example)
import random
# Step 1: Create a list of numbers
numbers = [random.randint(1, 100) for _ in range(10)]
## Step 2: Display the list
print("List of Numbers:", numbers)
# Step 3: Calculate the sum of the numbers
sum_of_numbers = sum(numbers)
print("Sum of Numbers:", sum_of_numbers)
# Step 4: Find the maximum and minimum numbers in the list
max_number = max(numbers)
min_number = min(numbers)
print("Maximum Number:", max_number)
print("Minimum Number:", min_number)
## This example demonstrates the creation of a program with a list of random numbers and performs basic operations like displaying the list, calculating the sum, and finding the maximum and minimum numbers in the list.

List of Numbers: [66, 13, 38, 3, 61, 56, 16, 31, 76, 79]
Sum of Numbers: 439
Maximum Number: 79
Minimum Number: 3

program with a dictionary-alisha

chatgpt/peer review

Code Repetition: You’ve repeated the same dictionary entries multiple times for words like “chemistry,” “biology,” “history,” etc. This repetition is unnecessary and makes the code longer and harder to maintain. You should have each word defined only once.
Dictionary Size: The dictionary is extensive, which is great for demonstration purposes, but it can make the code quite long. For practical use, you might want to consider having a smaller dictionary or loading word meanings from an external data source like a file or an API.
Error Handling: Your lookup_word function handles the case when a word is not found in the dictionary, which is good. However, you might want to provide more user-friendly feedback in this case, such as suggesting similar words or asking if the user meant something else.
Whitespace Stripping: You’ve added .strip() to remove leading and trailing whitespace from user input. This is a good practice to handle user input more gracefully.
Repetition in Code Comments: There’s a significant amount of repetition in the code comments. You’ve copied the same comments for several entries in the dictionary. While commenting is essential for understanding code, it’s best to keep comments concise and avoid repetition.
User Experience: It might be helpful to provide instructions to the user on how to use the dictionary or to clarify that the search is not case-sensitive (you’ve converted user input to lowercase).

program with iteration:

peer/chatgpt review

Variable Naming: Your variable names are clear and descriptive, which makes the code easy to understand. numbers, squared_numbers, and sum_of_squared_numbers all convey their respective purposes.
Commentary: Your code includes comments that explain each step, which is a good practice for enhancing code readability. However, there is some repetition in the comments, which can be reduced for brevity.
Efficiency: Your code effectively calculates the sum of squared numbers using iteration. However, you can simplify this process further by using Python’s built-in sum() function
Whitespace: Ensure consistent spacing and indentation throughout your code. In Python, it’s common to use four spaces for indentation. Your code appears to be formatted correctly in this regard.
Generalization: Currently, your code operates on a specific list of numbers [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. To make the code more versatile and reusable, you can encapsulate this logic within a function that accepts a list of numbers as input.

# Program With Iteration
### Step 1: Create a list of numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
squared_numbers = []
for num in numbers:
    squared_numbers.append(num ** 2)
### Step 3: Display the squared numbers
print("Original Numbers:", numbers)
print("Squared Numbers:", squared_numbers)
### Step 4: Calculate the sum of squared numbers using iteration
sum_of_squared_numbers = 0
for num in squared_numbers:
    sum_of_squared_numbers += num
print("Sum of Squared Numbers:", sum_of_squared_numbers)
##In this example, we create a program with iteration using a for loop. We iterate through a list of numbers, square each number, display the squared numbers, and then calculate the sum of squared numbers using iteration. For loops are very useful in JavaScript.

Original Numbers: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Squared Numbers: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
Sum of Squared Numbers: 55

Input Validation: You have added input validation to check if the input is a valid integer. This is good practice to handle potential errors when working with user inputs.
Consistency in Weights: Ensure that the weights for the political parties sum up to the total number of voters (1000 in your comment). Currently, they don’t sum up to 1000, which may lead to incorrect results.
Handling Ties: Your code handles the case where no one wins. However, it doesn’t handle the case where there is a tie between two parties. You might want to include logic to handle ties explicitly.
Comments: You have added comments to explain what each part of the code does, which is helpful for understanding. However, the comment about 1000 voters is incorrect because the number of voters is taken as user input. It should be updated accordingly.
Variable Names: The variable names are clear and descriptive, which is good for code readability.
Print Statements: The print statements provide useful information about the results and differences in votes. However, it’s a good practice to format the output more clearly for better readability. For example, you can specify the winning party and the number of votes they won by more explicitly.

import random
from collections import Counter
# Enter the number of voters
voters = (input("Enter the number of voters"))
try:
    # Convert input string to integer
    numVoters = int(voters)

    # Randoml select a political party using weights for 1000 voters
    result = random.choices(mylist, weights = [980,940,1000], k = numVoters)
    # count the results by political party and add to a dictionary
    res = Counter(result)
    print(res)
    # Analyze the results by comparing the number of votes for each political party to  determine which party won and the difference in the number of votes
    if res["Democrat"] > res["Republican"] and res["Democrat"] > res["Independent"]:
        diffRep = res["Democrat"] - res["Republican"]
        diffInd = res["Democrat"] - res["Independent"]

        diffDem = res["Republican"] - res["Democrat"]
        diffInd = res["Republican"] - res["Independent"]
        print(f"Republican won by {diffDem} votes, relative to Democrat" )
        print(f"Republican won by {diffInd} votes, relative to Independent" )
    elif res["Independent"] > res["Democrat"] and res["Independent"] > res["Republican"]:

        print(f"Independent won by {diffDem} votes, relative to Democrat" )
    else:
        print("No one won")
except ValueError:
