Instructions:

For this session, there are TWO separate activities to do after completing the Preparation.

• The first is a paper-and-pencil exercise on Box and Pointer diagrams.
• The second is a PyCharm exercise in which you Implement a Class.

This page is for the PyCharm exercise in which you Implement a Class.

Do the following:

1. Open PyCharm. Do:

   VCS ~ Update Project

   to obtain the new in-class project if it is not already in your PyCharm.

2. Watch the “Follow-Me” videos listed below. As you watch each video:

   • Do the coding in PyCharm, following what you see on the video.

   • You can do the coding as the video does it or by reviewing the video afterwards (your choice).

   • The key is to UNDERSTAND what you are coding, not merely type what the video shows.

   The “Follow-Me” videos for this session are:

   1. Review of Implementing a Class and what SELF is

   2. Implementing a Point class."

3. Finally, continue in PyCharm from where the above video left off to implement the rest of the Point class.

   • Always remember that your goal is to UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS in the exercise, not merely to just get it to pass test cases. Almost everyone has questions when doing the 08-ImplementingClasses project. Ask questions! If a problem is taking you more than 5 minutes or so, you are simply missing a piece of knowledge. Don't waste your time — ASK A QUESTION as soon as you are uncertain how to proceed.
