WEBVTT 0 00:00.320 --> 00:04.940 All right, guys, it's time for the final project of today. 1 00:04.940 --> 00:08.990 So the program that you're going to be building looks a little bit like this. 2 00:08.990 --> 00:14.690 And you can check it out if you head over to this link, either by typing it in or heading to the Course 3 00:14.690 --> 00:18.500 Resources page and clicking on the corresponding link. 4 00:18.500 --> 00:26.120 But essentially, it's a Band Name Generator, and it asks you for a city that you grew up in and the 5 00:26.120 --> 00:32.290 name of your pet, and then it combines those together and gives you the name of your band. 6 00:32.470 --> 00:34.240 There's a couple of things to note here. 7 00:34.240 --> 00:41.920 Firstly is notice when this input got triggered, the cursor actually showed up on a new line. 8 00:41.920 --> 00:45.850 So if I run this again, you can see it says, "What's the name of the city you grew up in?" 9 00:45.850 --> 00:48.790 And then the cursor is on the next line. 10 00:48.910 --> 00:54.700 And what I want you to do is to go ahead and head over to this stunning project. 11 00:54.910 --> 00:58.330 So there's a couple of steps in here as hints. 12 00:58.330 --> 01:04.390 But the important thing is, once you've completed this project, it should work exactly the same as 13 01:04.390 --> 01:06.040 the one that you see here. 14 01:06.160 --> 01:11.500 And in order to do this, you're going to have to apply everything that you learned today, including 15 01:11.500 --> 01:18.310 printing inputs, variables, new lines, string manipulation, debugging, and a whole lot more. 16 01:18.340 --> 01:24.430 So this is the time to grab yourself a cup of tea or coffee, pause the video, and tackle this final 17 01:24.430 --> 01:25.150 project. 18 01:29.740 --> 01:34.180 All right guys, I hope you gave that a go and you were able to complete it. 19 01:34.180 --> 01:39.520 If you want to see how I've implemented it, or if you want to, just check to see if you have any errors 20 01:39.520 --> 01:44.740 or if there's something that you're unsure about, then continue watching and I'll go through 21 01:44.740 --> 01:45.930 the solution with you. 22 01:47.040 --> 01:50.670 The first step is to create a greeting for your program. 23 01:50.670 --> 01:54.120 In our case, it says, Welcome to the Band Name Generator, 24 01:54.120 --> 01:56.610 so that's exactly what I'm going to create. 25 01:56.610 --> 02:00.210 And we print these messages using the print() function. 26 02:00.210 --> 02:06.090 So I'm going to say, "Welcome to the Band Name Generator." 27 02:07.230 --> 02:11.060 And this when I run it will just print that message. 28 02:12.650 --> 02:16.370 Now the next step is to ask the user for the city that they grew up in. 29 02:16.400 --> 02:21.950 So in order to get some input from the user, we'll need of course the input() function. 30 02:21.950 --> 02:26.720 And we're going to ask them using the prompt which goes inside the parentheses, 31 02:27.080 --> 02:32.600 "Which city did you grow up in?" 32 02:32.630 --> 02:40.150 So now when I hit run it's going to ask me for the city that I grew up in and I'm able to add a reply 33 02:40.150 --> 02:41.020 like so. 34 02:41.890 --> 02:48.730 Now that data is just going to be lost to thin air unless I capture it and I give it a name. 35 02:48.730 --> 02:53.290 So I'm going to have to create a variable to hold on to the data that the user inputted. 36 02:53.290 --> 02:59.440 So we'll just call that city and then add the equal sign to assign whatever it is that the user typed 37 02:59.440 --> 03:01.660 in to this variable name. 38 03:02.050 --> 03:09.970 And now I have access to this city variable, and I can print it or use it later on if I want to, 39 03:10.000 --> 03:11.230 like so. 40 03:13.780 --> 03:18.490 Now the next step is to ask the user for the name of a pet. 41 03:18.490 --> 03:25.270 So we'll call that variable pet, and we'll assign it the value that the user inputs for 42 03:25.270 --> 03:28.620 what is the name of a pet? 43 03:29.820 --> 03:35.280 Now step four is to combine the name of the city and the pet and show them their band name. 44 03:35.280 --> 03:39.810 Now, there's quite a few ways of doing this, especially if you look around on the internet, but the 45 03:39.810 --> 03:44.130 way that you learned in today's lessons is using string concatenation. 46 03:44.130 --> 03:45.390 So we're going to do that. 47 03:45.390 --> 03:51.000 So we're going to use a print statement and tell them, "Your band name could be:..." 48 03:51.650 --> 04:00.680 And then we're going to add the name of the city, and then add a space and then add the name of their 49 04:00.680 --> 04:01.370 pet. 50 04:01.580 --> 04:10.730 So now when we run our code, it will ask us for the name of their city and then the name of a pet. 51 04:10.730 --> 04:15.500 And then it should combine those together and show us the name of our band. 52 04:15.530 --> 04:22.400 Now the final step is that the input cursor should show on a new line like this. 53 04:22.400 --> 04:28.340 So here's the cursor, but here's the input just so that you get a bit of space and you're not typing 54 04:28.340 --> 04:31.460 it in directly after the prompt here. 55 04:31.460 --> 04:32.900 Like what we have. 56 04:32.900 --> 04:34.490 So how do we do that? 57 04:34.490 --> 04:42.440 Well, you learned about modifying strings by creating a new line using the \n, and we can add 58 04:42.440 --> 04:46.610 that both to the end of the city input and the pet input, 59 04:46.610 --> 04:52.730 and now when we run our code, you'll see that the cursor now shows up on the next line, 60 04:52.730 --> 04:55.640 and our program looks a lot better. 61 04:56.810 --> 04:58.460 So there you have it. 62 04:58.460 --> 05:01.370 This is how you solve this boss challenge. 63 05:01.370 --> 05:05.480 And this is how you create the Band Name Generator project. 64 05:05.480 --> 05:11.920 So I hope you had fun with me today, learning Python and a lot of the fundamentals of Python. 65 05:11.920 --> 05:19.060 And tomorrow I've got another jam-packed module of really awesome tutorials, and code challenges, and 66 05:19.060 --> 05:23.050 projects for you to sink your teeth into. I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. 67 05:23.050 --> 05:27.670 So have a rest now and let your brain work on the things that you learned while you sleep, 68 05:27.670 --> 05:29.980 and I'll see you here bright and early. 69 05:30.010 --> 05:31.570 Good night, and see you tomorrow.
