In my second master’s semester I’ve participated in a class called „Content Strategy and Information Architecture with DITA 1.3“. This webpage describes our group’s project:

In my semester abroad in Guadalajara (Mexico) I’ve participated in a class called Entrepreneurship. In this course we’ve learned how to create and develop a business idea. Our project group had the idea to launch a pre-ordering food app that facilitates ordering food on campus. In the framework, my fellow student and I designed an infographic and a short video to communicate the group’s business idea. Here you can see our results.
In my second masters semester, I’ve participated in a class called Visual Communication. This class was about communicating ideas and information through visual media. Every student had it’s own project and needed to choose one topic that he wanted to design their information about. For my project I’ve chosen the topic of plastic surgery, because it still is a topic that a lot of people don’t know about and I’d like the idea of communicating it through the help of visual elements.
What we needed to do:
Show your ability and knowledge of the use of Lists and Tuples in Python. When should you use one and when should you use the other?
What are lists?
In Python 3 there are many built-in data structures. The simplest one of them are lists. It is used to store a list of values. In other words, lists are a collection of items like strings, integers or lists.
How are lists used?
In a list every item has a index value.
When we use them, we need to enclose them with []. Unlike tuples, lists can be changed.
There are many functions that are already built in allowing to work with lists.
For example with the function length we can get the length of a list:
list = ["1", "hello", "Miri, "4"] len(list) >>4
What are tuples?
Tuples are a sequence of Python objects that are unable to be changed. So they can not be modified.
How are tuples used?
Unlike lists which use square brackets, tuples use parentheses.
house = (‚wall‘, ‚door‘, ‚window‘, ‚roof‘, ‚floor‘)
The output would look like this:
print(house)
(‚wall‘, ‚door‘, ‚window‘, ‚roof‘, ‚floor‘)
What we needed to do:
Show your ability and knowledge of how to create and when to use for loops in Python.
When do we use for loops?
For loops are used when you have a block code which you want to repeat over a sequence, so over a fixed number of times. That could be for example a list, a set or a string.
for i in range(0,3):
print(i)
When we run this program, the output looks like this:
Output
