COMP$1005/5005-$ Practical Test $2$

Within your work area, create a PracTest$2$ directory to work in$.$

Run a web browser in the Virtual Machine and download the code file from Blackboard$/$Assessments and put it in the PracTest$2$ directory.

Edit as needed to get it running $($drawing a big green dot$)$

Then complete the four tasks below $-$ one mark for each task

Using the lists provided in the code, and plt$.$scatterplot$(),$ plot dots for the five days of the week, with the colour to match the fruit of the day, and add a title "The Caterpillar ate..."

Hint: you'll need a loop to go through the days$/$colours

Hint: use the loop index to generate the $x,y$ positions for the dots

Plot an increasing number of dots to match the number in the count list. Use the loop indexes to calculate the position of dots.

Hint: you'll need a nested loop to index through the counts array

Plot each day separately, including all previous days in the plot and changing the title for each day $-$ five plots in total

Hint $1$: You'll need a third nested loop for the days for extra plots

Hint $2$: Build a string for the updated plot title

Add annotations to each of the foods, and add in an increasingly large caterpillar, moving across from left to right with the days

Hint $1$: use pltannotate$("$annotation$",$ pos, fontsize$=?,$ ha$=?)$

Hint $2$: the caterpiliar has arrays for the positions and a list for the colours.

Use these to calculate position and multiply dotsize to grow the caterpillar

README and history

Record the history of the commands you've used: history $>$ hist. txt Update a README file to include info on your code and images

Submission and Assessment

Ask your tutor to assess your work when complete.

All of your work should be submitted via Blackboard through the link on the Assessment page. This should be done as a single "zipped" file.
