Python for Everybody[edit]

Chapter 9:

Exercises 2, 3, 4, and 5*

Chapter 10:

Exercises 1, 2, 3*

Dictionary and Tuple Notebook[edit]

Complete the exercises in today's notebook.

Baby Name Challenges[edit]

Download the baby names data and code and complete each of the exercises.

Above and beyond[edit]

Write a function that takes a prefix as input and prints the number of boys and girls with that prefix (e.g., get_names("m") would list all names that start with "m" and get_names("ma") would only list those that start with "ma").
Plot (in Excel) the number of people who share a name with n other people in the data set, where n is 4 to 19.

-We will go through the Jupyter Notebook file in class. Once we understand what is is doing, you can use it as a springboard to write programs that do each of the following:
-# Search for your own name. Are there both boys and girls that have your name? Is it more popular for one group than for the other?
-# What is the most common name for each gender?
-# What is the least common name?
-# How often does the least common name occur? (Does that concern you?)
-# Are there more boys names or girls names?
-# What is the longest name in the dataset?
-# How many boys and girls names are described in the dataset (i.e., how unique boy names and unique girl names are there)?
-# How many boys names are also girls names? How many girls names are also boys names?
-# What is the most popular girl name that is also a boy name?
