Week 3 - Just getting fun!

 Three weeks into the class, and we are now getting into the meat of things I remember how to do in other languages. Loops, variable, etc.  Here is a simple lab I did today.  The secret word to be guessed is "chupacabra".  The user attempts to guess the secret word, and is kept in the loop until they guess it correctly.  I put in a check for an upper or lower case solution.  One the secret word is entered, the loop is broken.

Collatz Hypothesis

Section 3 - Lab 15  Link to Lab File Scenario In 1937, a German mathematician named Lothar Collatz formulated an intriguing hypothesis (it still remains unproven) which can be described in the following way: take any non-negative and non-zero integer number and name it  c0 ; if it's even, evaluate a new  c0  as  c0 ÷ 2 ; otherwise, if it's odd, evaluate a new  c0  as  3 × c0 + 1 ; if  c0 ≠ 1 , skip to point 2. The hypothesis says that regardless of the initial value of  c0 , it will always go to 1. Of course, it's an extremely complex task to use a computer in order to prove the hypothesis for any natural number (it may even require artificial intelligence), but you can use Python to check some individual numbers. Maybe you'll even find the one which would disprove the hypothesis. Write a program which reads one natural number and executes the above steps as long as  c0  remains different from 1. We also want you to count the ...

My first "All-Nighter"

 Work on my first "all-nighter" trying to write a small piece of code that converts Arabic numbers Roman numerals.  Wow... What I was the most satisfied with is that I didn't go out to the web looking for a solution.  My only external references were those of syntax. Below is a small snippet of code. Here is the code
