Clone the repository, change directory into the repository, and check that a recent version of Python is installed.

git clone https://github.com/adelyte-chris/compsci201.git
cd compsci201
python --version # Should be 2.7 or greater

Run the unit tests.

python SandwichBarTest.py # Returns one pass and one failure

Run the benchmark.

python SandwichBarTimer.py # Returns the number of seconds to execute 1,000,000 times

Check for incomplete tasks.

grep -R 'TODO' . # Prints a list of instances of 'TODO' in all files

Finish those tasks. Run the unit tests again. If all tests pass, run the benchmark.

Stage your changes, commit your changes with a meaningful commit message, and push (publish) them.

git status # Prints files that have changed
git add -A .
git commit -m "" # Write a meaningful commit message in the quotes
git push

• An Informal Introduction to Python
• Style Guide for Python Code

Stack Overflow is usually the top Google result for any specific code question. For example:

• "python list difference" yields Python, compute list difference
• "python for loop index" yields Accessing the index in Python for loops

It is absolutely not cheating to search for specific answers to specific questions, especially when the questions are about syntax or best practices. With syntax questions, you know what you want to do, but you do not know how to express it. With best practices, you do not have the experience to know which approach might be best.
