Description:

My name is Jonathan and Data Wolf is my personal blog about data science and machine learning. My first post, Data Science Flashcards was inspired by UC San Diego’s Data Science MicroMaster program and my favorite online bootcamps, DataCamp and DataQuest. They are freely available on Data Wolf’s Instagram.

Getting Started:

Getting Answers:

You have a few options when it comes to gettings answers.

Option 1

You can use Python by writing the function below also known as flashcard(0). You can use the command line:

  • Write this Python 3 function:
def flashcard(my_num):
        import requests
        link = 'http://datawolf.us/p4ds/card'+ str(my_num) +'.txt'
        f = requests.get(link)
        print(f.text)
  • Call this function by typing flashcard(1) in the shell as shown below. For single digit cards do not use 0, just 1-9.
flashcard(1)

>>> 35+16
51
>>> 25-16
9
>>> 3*5
15
>>> 10/2
5.0
>>> 2**7
128
>>> 18%7
4

flashcard(2)

>>> movie = 10
>>> popcorn = 25
>>> movie + popcorn
35

flashcard(3)

>>> a="This list"
>>> b=" demonstrates concatenation."
>>> my_list=a+b
>>> print(my_list)
This list demonstrates concatenation.

Option 2

Alternatively, you can use the QR code on the card.

Option 3

Jupyter notebooks are often used by Data Scientists. Take a look at the complete Data Wolf’s Jupyter Notebook like a Data Scientist or check out the modified version below:

Flashcard 0 | This is a function (flashcard)

def flashcard(my_num):
    """This function returns flashcard
    answers by requesting a .txt file 
    from the DataWolf.us website. Just
    type flashcard(1) from command line. """ 
    import requests
    link = 'http://datawolf.us/p4ds/card'+ str(my_num) +'.txt'
    f = requests.get(link)
    print(f.text)

Flashcard 1 | Math in Python is fun! 

print(35+16) #Execute line by line like this: 35+16
print(25-16)
print(3*5)
print(10/2)
print(2**7)
print(18%7)

51
9
15
5.0
128
4

Flashcard 2 | Variables

movie = 10
popcorn = 25

(movie + popcorn) * 2

70

Flashcard 3 | Python lists

a="This list"
b=" demonstrates concatenation."

my_list=a+b

print(my_list)

This list demonstrates concatenation.

Flashcard 4 | For the love of cinema

movie = 10
popcorn = 75

print("Movie costs " + str(movie) +" and popcorn costs " + str(popcorn))


Movie costs 10 and popcorn costs 75

Flashcard 5 | Slicing lists

colors = ["blue", "red", "green"]

print(colors[1])
print(colors[-1])
print(colors[1:])

red
green
['red', 'green']

Flashcard 6 | Subsetting lists

colors = ["blue", "red", "green"]
old_colors = colors[0:2]
new_colors = colors[1:]
print(old_colors)
print(new_colors)

['blue', 'red']
['red', 'green']

Flashcard 7 | A lists of lists

flashcard(7)

>>> list_of_lists = [["a", "b"],["c"],["d","e"]]
>>> list_of_lists[2][1]
'e'

Flashcard 8 | Replace list items

x = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
x[1] = "r"
x[2:] = "h","j"
print(x)

['a', 'r', 'h', 'j']

Flashcard 9 | Built-in functions

var1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]
var2 = True
var3 = int(var2)

print(len(var1))
print(var3)

4
1

Flashcard 10 | Baked-in help

#help(max) <-- uncomment to get help
#help(iter) <-- uncomment to get help
#help(type) <-- uncomment to get help
help(len) 

Help on built-in function len in module builtins:

len(obj, /)
    Return the number of items in a container.

Flashcard 11 | Sorting it all out

first=[1.0,3.0,5.0]
second=[2.0,4.0]

full = first + second
full_sorted = sorted(full, reverse=True)

print(full_sorted)

doom = "videogame"
doom_up = doom.upper()

print(doom.count('o'))

doom = "game"
area = 100.0

if doom == "game":
    print("Doom!")

Doom!

Flashcard 16 | Or else

doom = "videogame"
area = 14.0

if doom == "fruit":
    print("an apple!")
else:
    print("not sure")

doom = "videogame"
area = 14.0

if doom == "fruit":
    print("an apple!")
elif doom == "videogame":
    print("Game on!")
else:
    print("not sure")
