Project: Building a Simple Python Application
Put everything you've learned to use by building a simple Python application. This project will provide hands-on experience with Python programming.
By Kevin McAleer, 2 Minutes
Introduction
In the past few lessons, we’ve learned about various aspects of Python programming. Now it’s time to put all those concepts together and build a simple Python application. This will provide you with hands-on experience and help cement your Python knowledge.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how different Python concepts fit together in a real-world application.
- Gain experience in problem-solving and Python programming by building an application from scratch.
Project Overview: A Simple Quiz Application
We will build a simple quiz application. The application will do the following:
- Present a multiple-choice quiz to the user.
- Score the user’s responses.
- Display the final score to the user at the end.
class Question:
def __init__(self, prompt, answer):
self.prompt = prompt
self.answer = answer
question_prompts = [
"What color are apples?\n(a) Red/Green\n(b) Purple\n(c) Orange\n",
"What color are Bananas?\n(a) Teal\n(b) Magenta\n(c) Yellow\n",
"What color are strawberries?\n(a) Yellow\n(b) Red\n(c) Blue\n",
]
questions = [
Question(question_prompts[0], "a"),
Question(question_prompts[1], "c"),
Question(question_prompts[2], "b"),
]
def run_quiz(questions):
score = 0
for question in questions:
answer = input(question.prompt)
if answer == question.answer:
score += 1
print(f"You got {score}/{len(questions)} correct")
run_quiz(questions)
Summary
In this lesson, you’ve put the Python concepts you’ve learned to use by building a simple quiz application. This kind of hands-on experience is crucial in building your confidence and abilities as a Python programmer. Keep building more projects to improve and to keep your Python skills sharp.
