Review for Quiz 1

Functions and documentation

It is recommended to review these topics:

• Documentation elements (description, arguments, returns, errors)
• Defining functions with types
• Conditionals and iteration
• None and Optional

Unit testing

It is recommended to review these topics:

• self.assertEqual(), self.assertTrue(), and self.assertRaises()
• Identifying test cases

We will not ask you to test functions that print things or take user input on the exam.

Git

It is recommended to review these topics:

• What is a repo? What is remote / local?
• git clone <url> copies the remote repo to your computer
• git add <filename> stages the changes in the file, and git add . stages all changes in the directory
• git commit -m "message" commits the staged changes
• git push pushes all local commits to the remote repo
• git pull copies all commits from the remote repo to your local repo which are not already there

• For testing additional questions (especially generic, non-specific tests), use dict
