CS209 lab7
http://www.maths.nuigalway.ie/~gettrick/teach/cs209/l7.html
-
For this lab you should submit all source code (PYTHON
files), and the result(s) of running the program on (a few)
test cases.
The source code must
be well presented (indenting, spaces, reasonable variable/function names,
etc.) and must include comments (as a rough guideline - aim to have nearly as
many comments as lines of code).
-
The above material should be uploaded to BLACKBOARD
before
the deadline of 5pm
Monday 20th. March 2017. You will lose 20% for each day
(or part of day) the lab is late. (In BLACKBOARD, you should attach your
PYTHON program under "Attach File" in the section "2. Assignment Materials".
If you are including anything other than PYTHON code, e.g. answers to
questions, etc, it can be cut/pasted in to "Submission" under "2.
Assignment Materials".)
If any of this is unclear, you should ask the Teaching Assistant in the lab.
-
Plagiarism (the unattributed copying of work from other sources
(internet, fellow students,....)) will not be tolerated.
You risk getting zero for your lab if it is found to be
plagiarized.
-
You should first experiment with some of the simple programs at
http://www.maths.nuigalway.ie/~gettrick/teach/cs209/progs/.
-
Write a program in PYTHON that calculates the median of a set
of distinct input integers. The median is some number x such that half the
numbers are above x and half below. For example,
- median of 1,3,5,7 is 4
- median of 1,2,2,7 is 2
- median of 1,2,3,7 is 2.5
(note - as in the last example - the median may not necessarily be an integer).
-
You may choose, as you wish, to read the numbers in from the user
when you run your program or to read them in from a file.
