Popcorn Hack 1

Create a list of data that could work with your GitHub Pages Blog Topic. For example, if your blog was about movies from different genres, make a list of movies for every genre.

# Define a dictionary with Liverpool FC players categorized by positions
liverpool_fc = {
    "Forwards": ["Mohamed Salah", "Darwin Núñez", "Diogo Jota", "Luis Díaz"],
    "Midfielders": ["Alexis Mac Allister", "Dominik Szoboszlai", "Curtis Jones", "Ryan Gravenberch"],
    "Defenders": ["Virgil van Dijk", "Ibrahima Konaté", "Trent Alexander-Arnold", "Andrew Robertson"],
    "Goalkeepers": ["Alisson Becker", "Caoimhin Kelleher"]
}

# New function to print Liverpool FC players by position
def print_liverpool_fc(team):
    for position, players in team.items():
        print(f"\n{position}:")
        for player in players:
            print(f" - {player}")

# Call the function to display Liverpool FC players
print_liverpool_fc(liverpool_fc)

OPTIONAL Popcorn Hack 2

Try creating a dictionary for your github homepage that contains what was within each sprint. For example, in Sprint 1, we had frontend development, github pages playgroud, and javascript playground.

# Define a dictionary with sprints as keys and details as a nested dictionary
sprints = {
    'Sprint1': {
        'Tasks': ['Frontend Development', 'Github Pages Playground', 'Javascript Playground'],
        'Duration': '2 weeks',
        'Team Members': ['Mihir', 'Ansh', 'Derek', 'Pradyun']
    },
    'Sprint2': {
        'Tasks': ['Big Ideas 3.1','Big Ideas 3.2','Big Ideas 3.3','Big Ideas 3.4','Big Ideas 3.5','Big Ideas 3.6','Big Ideas 3.7','Big Ideas 3.8','Big Ideas 3.10'],
        'Duration': '1 week',
        'Team Members': ['Mihir', 'Ansh', 'Derek', 'Pradyun']
    }
}

# Function to print details about the sprints
def print_sprint_details(sprint_data):
    for sprint, details in sprint_data.items():
        print(f"\n{sprint}:")
        for key, value in details.items():
            print(f"{key}: {value}")

# Call the function to display sprint details
print_sprint_details(sprints)

Sprint1:
Tasks: ['Frontend Development', 'Github Pages Playground', 'Javascript Playground']
Duration: 2 weeks
Team Members: ['Mihir', 'Ansh', 'Derek', 'Pradyun']

Sprint2:
Tasks: ['Big Ideas 3.1', 'Big Ideas 3.2', 'Big Ideas 3.3', 'Big Ideas 3.4', 'Big Ideas 3.5', 'Big Ideas 3.6', 'Big Ideas 3.7', 'Big Ideas 3.8', 'Big Ideas 3.10']
Duration: 1 week
Team Members: ['Mihir', 'Ansh', 'Derek', 'Pradyun']

Popcorn Hack 3

Create a mix of list and dictionaries to represent a real world collection of data. I will do a car rental system.

# A list of dictionaries representing cars in a rental system
car_rental_system = [
    {
        "model": "Tesla Model 3",
        "manufacturer": "Tesla",
        "rental_rate": 150,  # rate per day in USD
        "available": True,
        "renters": [
            {"name": "John Doe", "rental_date": "2024-09-20", "return_date": "2024-09-25"},
            {"name": "Jane Smith", "rental_date": "2024-10-01", "return_date": "2024-10-05"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "model": "BMW X5",
        "manufacturer": "BMW",
        "rental_rate": 120,
        "available": False,
        "renters": [
            {"name": "Alice Brown", "rental_date": "2024-09-15", "return_date": "2024-09-20"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "model": "Toyota Corolla",
        "manufacturer": "Toyota",
        "rental_rate": 80,
        "available": True,
        "renters": []
    }
]

# Function to display information about each car in the rental system
def print_car_rental_info(rental_system):
    for car in rental_system:
        print(f"Model: {car['model']}")
        print(f"Manufacturer: {car['manufacturer']}")
        print(f"Rental Rate: ${car['rental_rate']} per day")
        print(f"Available: {'Yes' if car['available'] else 'No'}")
        if car['renters']:
            print("Renters:")
            for renter in car['renters']:
                print(f" - {renter['name']} (Rented from: {renter['rental_date']} to {renter['return_date']})")
        else:
            print("No renters yet.")
        print("\n")

# Call the function to display the car rental system information
print_car_rental_info(car_rental_system)
