Test 0002: finding a hypotenuse

#September 30, 2011
#Python 3.2 code by Carla Fuqua
#purpose: to find a hypotenuse

#again, input not yet learned

#assign arbitrary variables
width=3
length=4

#remember algebra class
#remember syntax for exponents
hyp=(width*width+length*length)**(1/2)

#print results
print (hyp)

#redefine variables as necessary :)

#...

#(basically just code for the Pythagorean Theorem)

Test 0001: reformatting data

#September 30, 2011

#Python 3.2 code by Carla Fuqua
#purpose: reformatting names "from a list"

#input from list not yet learned

#assign arbitrary variables
x="Carla"
y="Fuqua"

#print results; format Last, First
print (y+", "+x)

#continuing with the theory: to display results from an actual list, number each item in the list?
#print (number)
#then print (number+1) over and over
#loops? je ne sais pas!
