Section 3.1
The Power of List Iteration
for in: for loop using in
for range: for range(start,stop,step)
More list methods: .extend() , +, .reverse(), .sort()
Strings to lists, .split() , and list to strings, .join()
Student will be able to
Iterate through lists using for with in
Use for range() in looping operations
Use list methods .extend() , +, .reverse(), .sort()
Convert between lists and strings using .split() and .join()
Concept: Iterate through Lists using for in
cities = ["New York", "Shanghai", "Munich", "Tokyo", "Dubai", "Mexico City", "São Pau
lo", "Hyderabad"]
for city in cities:
print(city)

Concept: Sort and Filter
use comparison operators while iterating lists

Concept: More List Iteration
- Counting
- Searching
use string methods while iterating lists
Examples
# [ ] review and run example
# iterates the "cities" list, count & sum letter "a" in each city name
cities = ["New York", "Shanghai", "Munich", "Tokyo", "Dubai", "Mexico City", "São Paul
search_letter = "a"
total = 0
for city_name in cities:
total += city_name.lower().count(search_letter)
print("The total # of \"" + search_letter + "\" found in the list is", total)
The total # of "a" found in the list is 6

# search the list visited_cities using 2nd argument

Task 3 (program): Paint Stock
Check a list for a paint color request and print status of color "found"/"not found".
Create list, paint_colors, with 5+ colors
Get user input of string:color_request
Iterate through each color in paint_colors to check for a match with color_request
# [ ] complete paint stock
paint_colors = ["Blue","Red","Green","Yellow","Purple","Orange"]
color_request = input("Which paint color would you like: ")
for color in paint_colors:
if color.capitalize() == color_request:
print("Color found! here is your",color,"paint")
break
else:
print("Not found, out of stock!")
Which paint color would you like: Purple
Not found, out of stock!
Not found, out of stock!
Not found, out of stock!
Not found, out of stock!
Color found! here is your Purple paint
Task 4 (program): Foot Bones Quiz
Create a function that will iterate through foot_bones looking for a match of a string argument
Call the function 2 times with the name of a footbone
print immediate feedback for each answer (correct - incorrect)
print the total # of foot_bones identiJed
The program will use the foot_bones list:
foot_bones = ["calcaneus", "talus", "cuboid", "navicular", "lateral cuneiform",
"intermediate cuneiform", "medial cuneiform"]
Bonus: remove correct response item from list if correct so user cannot answer same item twice
