Python - Day Eleven (October)

WHAT I DID TODAY / LEARNED:

Today I finished the 'Taking a Vacation' lesson. Except it wasn't really a lesson, I believe it's more of a review that wanted me to incorporate the skills I learned to calculate the costs of going on a 'vacation.' I did not learn anything new today and instead will just be explaining what I did.

35% OF THE COURSE COMPLETED

I will kind of be going through step by step of the review I did because I figured since I didn't learn anything today, I should be giving a more thorough explanation.

• The first step I was told to do was to define the cost of hotels. I used the def function and return to calculate the cost of the hotel based on the number of days I'll be staying.

STEP 1: HOTEL COST

• The second step was to calculate the plane cost ride using the def function, return, and elif. Based on the city I choose at the end, that will be how much the plane cost would be.

STEP 2: CHOOSING CITIES

• The third step was to calculate car rental costs. I used the def function, if function, elif, and return. I also had to use different 'math' codes like == or >= because I was told to add 'discounts' based on the costs.

STEP 3: CAR RENTAL

• The fourth step was just adding everything together. As you can see in the def trip_cost on line 22. I added all the other 'steps' together to get the total cost. After that on line 25, I printed out the actual trip cost. (I also chose the city Los Angeles, the cost changes based on what I choose)

STEP 4: FINAL STEP IS ADDING EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Basically this 'vacation' unit was just a review on the few codes such as return, elif, def etc; (if it wasn't already obvious.)

WHAT I WILL BE DOING TOMORROW / NEXT TIME:

Next time I will be doing the unit named 'Python Lists and Dictionaries.' I can't say much as I don't really know much about it either but here is a description of what it is about.

MY NEXT UNIT

There are 14 lessons in this specific unit, so I'm not sure if I will have enough time to be able to just go through half, or all of it.
