OBJECTIVES

The first investigation in this lab will focus on Data Structures. Each data structure has its own advantages and limitations. This lab will emphasize the most important differences between them.

The second investigation will focus on strings. You have been using and storing strings since our first class, however in this lab we will dive into the more complex nature of string manipulation. Finally, this lab will cover how to use a variety of regular expression functions for searching and input validation.

PYTHON REFERENCE

As you develop your Python scripting skills, you may start to be "overwhelmed" with the volume of information that you have absorbed over these labs. One way to help, is to learn to use online references effectively in order to obtain information regarding Python scripting techniques and tools.

Below is a table with links to useful online Python reference sites (by category). You may find these references useful when performing assignments, etc.

INVESTIGATION 1: DATA STRUCTURES

In this investigation, you will learn several data structures commonly used in Python scripting. These tools include lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.

PART 1 - Tuples

Many often confuse a tuple with a list (which you learned about in a previous lab). A tuple is a type of list whose values cannot be changed. In fact, nothing in a tuple can be changed after it's created (like adding, removing list elements).

There are many advantages to using tuples when creating Python scripts:

Data protection (eg. values are are NOT allowed to change so you won't modify them accidentally)
Tuples can be used as keys in data dictionaries (which are NOT allowed to change)
Tuples allow for faster access than lists

The term to indicate that a data structure cannot be changed is called immutable (as opposed to "mutable" which means the data structure can be changed).

Perform the Following Steps:

Let's create two tuples in a temporary Python file, so we can learn how to use them and learn how they differ from lists.

Note: tuples are defined by using parenthesis ( ) as opposed to lists which are defined by using square brackets [ ]
```
t1 = ('Prime', 'Ix', 'Secundus', 'Caladan')
t2 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
```
Values from a tuple can be retrieved in the same way as a list. For example:
```
print(t1[0])
print(t2[2:4])
```
You can also check to see whether a value exists inside a tuple or not. To demonstrate try:
```
print('Ix' in t1)
print('Geidi' in t1)
```
Let's now see how a tuple differs from a list. We will now create a list and note the difference between them:
```
list2 = [ 'uli101', 'ops235', 'ops335', 'ops435', 'ops535', 'ops635' ]
```
See if you can change the value of your list:
```
list2[0]= 'ica100'
print(list2[0])
print(list2)
```
You should have been successful in changing the value of your list.
Now, try changing the value of your previously-created tuple:
```
t2[1] = 10
```
Did it work? Once created the tuple values will not be able to change.

If you would like a tuple with different values than the tuple you currently have, then you must create a new one.
The following creates a new tuple (t3) with a contents from a slice of the t2 tuple. Slicing works the same way for tuples as for lists:
```
t3 = t2[2:3]
```
Also, as with lists, you can use for loops to iterate the values of tuples:
```
for item in t1:
    print('item: ' + item)
```

PART 2 - Sets

So far, you have been exposed to two structures that are used to contain data: lists and tuples. You can modify the values within a list as well as modify the structure of a list (i.e. add and remove elements), whereby you cannot with a tuple.

In this section, you will learn about sets. A set has similar characteristics as a list, but there are two major differing characteristics:

Sets are un-ordered
Sets cannot contain duplicate values

Since new duplicate entries will be automatically removed when using sets, they are very useful for performing tasks such as comparisons: finding similarities or differences in multiple sets.

Create some sets to work with in a temporary Python file:
```
s1 = {'Prime', 'Ix', 'Secundus', 'Caladan'}
s2 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
s3 = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
```
Note: Sets are defined by using braces { } as opposed to tuples which use parenthesis ( ), or lists which use square brackets [ ]
Try to access a set through the index:
```
print(s1[0])
```
This should have caused an error. You cannot access data inside a set this way because the elements inside are unordered. Instead, you should use the in method to check to see whether a value is contained in the set:
```
print('Ix' in s1)
print('Geidi' in s1)
```
Sets can be combined, but it is important to note that any duplicate values (shared among sets) will be deleted.
Print the contents of the sets and note the values that are common:
```
print(s2)
print(s3)
```
This is how you get a set containing only UNIQUE values (no duplicates) from both sets:
```
print(s2 | s3)         # returns a set containing all values from both sets
print(s2.union(s3))    # same as s2 | s3
```
Notice that both methods above have the same result, which one you choose depends purely on your style.

Instead of combining sets, we can display values that are common to both sets. This is known in mathematical terms as an intersection between the lists:
```
print(s2 & s3)             # returns a set containing all values that s2 and s3 share
print(s2.intersection(s3)) # same as s2 & s3
```

Sets can also have their values compared against other sets. First find out what items are in s2 but not in s3. This is also called a difference:

print(s2)
print(s3)
print(s2 - s3)             # returns a set containing all values in s2 that are not found in s3
print(s2.difference(s3))   # same as s2 - s3

In order to see every difference between both sets, you need to find the symmetric difference. This will return a set that shows all numbers that both sets do not share together:
```
print(s2 ^ s3)                     # returns a set containing all values that both sets DO NOT share
print(s2.symmetric_difference(s3)) # same as s2 ^ s3
```
Note: the set() function can convert lists into sets, and the list() function can convert sets into lists. The operations in this section can only be applied to sets, so if you need to perform a union, intersection, or difference between lists, you need to convert them to sets first. For example:
```
l2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
l3 = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
temporary_set = set(l2).intersection(set(l3))
new_list = list(temporary_set)  # '''set()''' can make lists into sets. '''list()''' can make sets into lists.
print(new_list)
```

Create a Python Script Demonstrating Comparing Sets

Perform the Following Instructions

Create the ~/ops435/lab4/lab4a.py script. The purpose of this script will be to demonstrate the different way of comparing sets. There will be three functions, each returning a different set comparison.

Use the following template to get started:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

def join_sets(s1, s2):
    # join_sets will return a set that contains every value from both s1 and s2

def match_sets(s1, s2):
    # match_sets will return a set that contains all values found in both s1 and s2

def diff_sets(s1, s2):
    # diff_sets will return a set that contains all different values which are not shared between the sets

if __name__ == '__main__':
    set1 = set(range(1,10))
    set2 = set(range(5,15))
    print('set1: ', set1)
    print('set2: ', set2)
    print('join: ', join_sets(set1, set2))
    print('match: ', match_sets(set1, set2))
    print('diff: ', diff_sets(set1, set2))

The join_sets() function should return a set that contains all values from both sets
The match_sets() function should return a set that contains all values found in both sets
The diff_sets() function should return a set that contains all values which are not shared between both sets
All three functions should accept two arguments both are sets
The script should show the exact output as the samples
The script should contain no errors

Sample Run 1:

./lab4a.py
set1:  {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
set2:  {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
join:  {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
match:  {8, 9, 5, 6, 7}
diff:  {1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}

Sample Run 2 (with import):

import lab4a
set1 = {1,2,3,4,5}
set2 = {2,1,0,-1,-2}
print(lab4a.join_sets(set1,set2))
# Will output {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
print(lab4a.match_sets(set1,set2))
# Will output {1, 2}
print(lab4a.diff_sets(set1,set2))
# Will output {-2, -1, 0, 3, 4, 5}

Download the checking script and check your work. Enter the following commands from the bash shell:

cd ~/ops435/lab4/
pwd #confirm that you are in the right directory
ls CheckLab4.py || wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seneca-CDOT/ops435/master/LabCheckScripts/CheckLab4.py
python3 ./CheckLab4.py -f -v lab4a

Before proceeding, make certain that you identify all errors in lab4a.py. When the checking script tells you everything is OK - proceed to the next step.

Create a Python Script Demonstrating Comparing Lists

Perform the Following Instructions

Create the ~/ops435/lab4/lab4b.py script. The purpose of this script will be to improve the previous script to perform the same joins, matches, and diffs, but this time on lists.

Use the following as a template:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

def join_lists(l1, l2):
    # join_lists will return a list that contains every value from both l1 and l2

def match_lists(l1, l2):
    # match_lists will return a list that contains all values found in both l1 and l2

def diff_lists(l1, l2):
    # diff_lists will return a list that contains all different values, which are not shared between the lists

if __name__ == '__main__':
    list1 = list(range(1,10))
    list2 = list(range(5,15))
    print('list1: ', list1)
    print('list2: ', list2)
    print('join: ', join_lists(list1, list2))
    print('match: ', match_lists(list1, list2))
    print('diff: ', diff_lists(list1, list2))

The match_lists() function should return a list that contains all values found in both lists
The diff_lists() function should return a list that contains all values which are not shared between both lists
The join_lists() function should return a list that contains all values from both lists
All three functions should accept two arguments both are lists
The script should show the exact output as the samples
The script should contain no errors

Sample Run 1:

run lab4b.py
list1:  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
list2:  [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
join:  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
match:  [8, 9, 5, 6, 7]
diff:  [1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]

Sample Run 2 (with import):

import lab4b
list1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
list2 = [2,1,0,-1,-2]
print(join_lists(list1,list2)))
# Will output [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, -2, -1]
print(match_lists(list1,list2))                                                                                                                 
# Will output [1, 2]
print(diff_lists(list1,list2))                                                                                                                  
# Will output [0, 3, 4, 5, -2, -1]

3. Download the checking script and check your work. Enter the following commands from the bash shell.

cd ~/ops435/lab4/
pwd #confirm that you are in the right directory
ls CheckLab4.py || wget matrix.senecac.on.ca/~acoatley-willis/CheckLab4.py
python3 ./CheckLab4.py -f -v lab4b

4. Before proceeding, make certain that you identify all errors in lab4b.py. When the checking script tells you everything is OK - proceed to the next step.

PART 3 - Dictionaries

In Python, a dictionary is a set of key-value pairs. Dictionaries are unordered, like sets, however any value can be retrieved from a dictionary if you know the key. This section will go over how to create, access, and change dictionaries, giving you a new powerful tool to store and manipulate data.

Perform the Following Steps:

Let's begin by creating a new dictionary in a temporary Python file:
```
dict_york = {'Address': '70 The Pond Rd', 'City': 'Toronto', 'Postal Code': 'M3J3M6'}
```
You should note that the syntax to define a dictionary is similar to defining sets (i.e. using {}), but unlike sets dictionaries use key:value pairs within the dictionary, each key:value pair is separated by commas.
All the values in a dictionary can be retrieved by using the dictionary.values() function. This particular function provides a list containing all values:
```
print(dict_york.values())
```
All keys to access the key:pair values within a dictionary can be retrieved using the dictionary.keys() function:
```
dict_york.keys()
```
We can retrieve individual values from a dictionary by providing the key associated with the value:
```
print(dict_york['Address'])
print(dict_york['Postal Code'])
```
Dictionary keys can be any immutable values (i.e. not permitted for value to be changed). Types of values include: strings, numbers, and tuples.

Try adding a new key and value to the dictionary:

dict_york['Country'] = 'Canada'
print(dict_york)
print(dict_york.values())
print(dict_york.keys())

Let's change the province value to BC:
```
dict_york['Province'] = 'BC'
print(dict_york)
print(dict_york.values())
print(dict_york.keys())
```
WARNING: Dictionary keys must be unique. Attempting to add a key that already exists in the dictionary will overwrite the existing value for that key! For example:
```
dict_york['Province'] = 'ON'
print(dict_york)
print(dict_york.values())
print(dict_york.keys())
```
You should notice that value for the 'Province' key has been changed back to 'ON'.

The lists that contain the values and keys of the dictionary are not real python lists - they are "views of the dictionary" and therefore are immutable. You could change these views into usable lists by using the list() function:
```
list_of_keys = list(dict_york.keys())
print(list_of_keys[0])
```

Lists can be used with for loops:

list_of_keys = list(dict_york.keys())
for key in list_of_keys:
    print(key)
for value in dict_york.values()
    print(value)

Create a Python Script for Managing Dictionaries

Perform the Following Instructions

Create the ~/ops435/lab4/lab4c.py script. The purpose of this script will be to create dictionaries, extract data from dictionaries, and to make comparisons between dictionaries.

Use the following as a template:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Dictionaries
dict_york = {'Address': '70 The Pond Rd', 'City': 'Toronto', 'Country': 'Canada', 'Postal Code': 'M3J3M6', 'Province': 'ON'}
dict_newnham = {'Address': '1750 Finch Ave E', 'City': 'Toronto', 'Country': 'Canada', 'Postal Code': 'M2J2X5', 'Province': 'ON'}
# Lists
list_keys = ['Address', 'City', 'Country', 'Postal Code', 'Province']
list_values = ['70 The Pond Rd', 'Toronto', 'Canada', 'M3J3M6', 'ON']

def create_dictionary(keys, values):
    # Place code here - refer to function specifics in section below

def shared_values(dict1, dict2):
    # Place code here - refer to function specifics in section below


if __name__ == '__main__':
    york = create_dictionary(list_keys, list_values)
    print('York: ', york)
    common = shared_values(dict_york, dict_newnham)
    print('Shared Values', common)

The script should contain two functions:

create_dictionary()

accepts two lists as arguments keys and values, combines these lists together to create a dictionary
(Tip: use a while loop to access elements in both the keys and values lists at the same time)
returns a dictionary that has the keys and associated values from the lists

shared_values()

accepts two dictionaries as arguments and finds all values that are shared between the two dictionaries
(Tip: generate sets containing only values for each dictionary, then use a function mentioned in a previous section to store the values that are common to both lists)
returns a set containing ONLY values found in BOTH dictionaries

make sure the functions have the correct number of arguments required
The script should show the exact output as the samples
The script should contain no errors

Sample Run 1:

run lab4c.py
York:  {'Country': 'Canada', 'Postal Code': 'M3J3M6', 'Address': '70 The Pond Rd', 'Province': 'ON', 'City': 'Toronto'}
Shared Values {'Canada', 'ON', 'Toronto'}

Sample Run 2 (with import):

import lab4c
dict_york = {'Address': '70 The Pond Rd', 'City': 'Toronto', 'Country': 'Canada', 'Postal Code': 'M3J3M6', 'Province': 'ON'}
dict_newnham = {'Address': '1750 Finch Ave E', 'City': 'Toronto', 'Country': 'Canada', 'Postal Code': 'M2J2X5', 'Province': 'ON'}
list_keys = ['Address', 'City', 'Country', 'Postal Code', 'Province']
list_values = ['70 The Pond Rd', 'Toronto', 'Canada', 'M3J3M6', 'ON']

york = create_dictionary(list_keys, list_values)

print(york)
# Will print: {'Address': '70 The Pond Rd',
               'City': 'Toronto',
               'Country': 'Canada',
               'Postal Code': 'M3J3M6',
               'Province': 'ON'}

common = shared_values(dict_york, dict_newnham)

print(common)
# Will print: {'Canada', 'ON', 'Toronto'}

3. Download the checking script and check your work. Enter the following commands from the bash shell.

cd ~/ops435/lab4/
pwd #confirm that you are in the right directory
ls CheckLab4.py || wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seneca-CDOT/ops435/master/LabCheckScripts/CheckLab4.py
python3 ./CheckLab4.py -f -v lab4c

4. Before proceeding, make certain that you identify all errors in lab4c.py. When the checking script tells you everything is OK proceed to the next step.

INVESTIGATION 2: STRINGS

Strings are basically a list of characters (bits of text). This section will investigate strings in more detail such as cutting strings into sub-strings, joining strings, formatting strings, searching through strings, and matching strings against patterns.

Strings are immutable data objects - this means that once a string is created, it cannot be modified. In order to make a change inside a string, you would first make a copy of the part of the string (i.e. sub-string) for manipulation.

PART 1 - Strings and Substrings

This first part will explain basic concepts of using strings, printing strings, and manipulating sub-strings.

Perform the Following Steps:

Create some strings in a temporary Python file:
```
course_name = 'Open System Automation'
course_code = 'OPS435'
course_number = '435'
```
Strings can contain any characters inside them, whether they are letters, numbers, or symbols.
Strings can also be concatenated (i.e. "combined together") by using the + sign, just make sure string are only concatenating strings with strings (no lists, no numbers, no dictionaries, etc.):
```
print(course_name)
print(course_code)
print(str(course_number))
print(course_name + ' ' + course_code + ' ' + str(course_number))
```
When using the print() function, you can display special characters. One such special character is the is the newline character (denoted by the symbol: \n). This allows you to separate content between new lines or empty lines:
```
print('Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3\n')
```
Strings have many built-in functions that we can use to manipulate text. Here's a list.

Lets try out several different functions:

course_name.lower()         # Returns a string in lower-case letters
course_name.upper()         # Returns a string in upper-case letters
course_name.swapcase()      # Returns a string with upper-case and lower-case letters swapped
course_name.title()         # Returns a string with upper-case first letter of each word, lowercase for remaining text
course_name.capitalize()    # Returns a string with upper-case first letter only, lowercase for remaining text

These values can be saved inside new strings and then reused:

lower_name = course_name.lower()    # Save returned string lower-case string inside new string variable
print(lower_name)

If a string contains many values separated by a single character, such as a space, the string can be split on those values and create a list of values
```
lower_name.split(' ')       # Provide the split() function with a character to split on
```
The above example will return a list of strings, which we can access just like all of lists.

Let's practice more string manipulation:

list_of_strings = lower_name.split(' ')     # Split string on spaces and store the list in a variable
print(list_of_strings)                      # Display list
print(list_of_strings[0])                   # Display first item in list

Since lists are actually a list of strings, you should be able to use any function that works with a string on a list:

list_of_strings[0].upper()           # Use the function after the index to affect a single string within a list
first_word = list_of_strings[0]
print(first_word)

The index that is used to access items within a list, can also be used to access characters within a string. For practice, let's create a new string, and start accessing the strings index:

course_name = 'Open System Automation'
course_code = 'OPS435'
course_number = 435
course_code[0]                          # Return a string that is the first character in course_code
course_code[2]                          # Return a string that is the third character in course_code
course_code[-1]                         # Return a string that is the last character in course_code
str(course_number)[0]                   # Turn the integer into a string, return first character in that string
course_code[0] + course_code[1] + course_code[2]

You can use a technique that uses index numbers of a string to cut-out or "parse" smaller portions of text within a string. This term is referred to as a substring. We can use this to create a new string or display only a small portion of it:

course_name[0:4]                        # Return the first four characters (values of index numbers 0,1,2, and 3) 
first_word = course_name[0:4]           # Save this substring for later use
course_code[0:3]                        # Return the first three characters (values of index numbers 0,1,and 2)

The index allows a few extra functions using the same parsing technique:

course_name = 'Open System Automation'
course_name[12:]                        # Return the substring '12' index until end of string
course_name[5:]                         # Return the substring '5' index until end of string
course_name[-1]                         # Return the last character

With negative indices, -1 would represent the last character, -2 index would represent the second last character, etc.:

course_name = 'Open System Automation'
course_name[-1]
course_name[-2]

Practice some of the skills that you have learned in this section:

course_name = 'Open System Automation'
course_name[-10:]                                   # Return the last ten characters
course_name[-10:-6]                                 # Try and figure out what this is returning 
course_name[0:4] + course_name[-10:-6]              # Combine substrings together
substring = course_name[0:4] + course_name[-10:-6]  # Save the combined substring as a new string for later
substring

The real power found in substrings goes beyond just manually writing index values and getting back words. The next part of this investigation will cover how to search through a string for a specific word, letter, number, and return the index to that search result.

Create a Python Script Demostrating Substrings

Perform the Following Instructions

Create the ~/ops435/lab4/lab4d.py script. The purpose of this script is to demonstrate creating and manipulating strings. There will be four functions each will return a single string.

Use the following template to get started:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Strings 1

str1 = 'Hello World!!'
str2 = 'Seneca College'

num1 = 1500
num2 = 1.50

def first_five():
    # Place code here - refer to function specifics in section below

def last_seven():
    # Place code here - refer to function specifics in section below

def middle_number():
    # Place code here - refer to function specifics in section below

def first_three_last_three():
    # Place code here - refer to function specifics in section below


if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(first_five(str1))
    print(first_five(str2))
    print(last_seven(str1))
    print(last_seven(str2))
    print(middle_number(num1))
    print(middle_number(num2))
    print(first_three_last_three(str1, str2))
    print(first_three_last_three(str2, str1))

The script should contain four functions (use your own argument names):

first_five():

Accepts a single string argument
Returns a string that contains the first five characters of the argument given

last_seven():

Accepts a single string argument
Returns a string that contains the last seven characters of the argument given

middle_number():

Accepts a integer as a argument
Returns a string containing the second and third characters in the number

first_three_last_three():

Accepts two string arguments
