CS 1.1: Object Oriented Programming

Course Description

This course reinforces the fundamentals of programming including variables, data types, control flow, conditionals, loops, lists, dictionaries, functions, and introduces object-oriented programming. Students will master top-level concepts in software development including writing pseudocode, using functions to process input into output, technical project planning, and diagramming. The course will also cover how computers work, from components and layout to memory and machine code instructions.

Prerequisites

• CS 1.0 - Introduction to Programming

cs-1.1-object-oriented-programming's Issues

self.infected parameter contains typo in Person class, __init__ method

In the instructions for the init method in Person.py, the self.infected attribute/parameter is described as both "self.infected" and as "self.infection." Additionally, in the example text above, it is set to infected=False while in the actual init template it is set as infected=None.

No self parameter for did_survive_infection() method

It seems in the method stubs for the person class, there isn't a self parameter for the did_survive_infection(). It is included in the commented method signature.

Non-default value follows default value

in Herd-immunity project, in Simulation class, initialize method argument initial_infected = 1 comes before an argument with no default value.
