glob contains function glob that finds files that match a pattern
* matches 0+ characters; ? matches any one char



In [3]:

    
print(glob.glob('data/inflammation*.csv'))









    



['data/inflammation-01.csv', 'data/inflammation-02.csv', 'data/inflammation-03.csv', 'data/inflammation-04.csv', 'data/inflammation-05.csv', 'data/inflammation-06.csv', 'data/inflammation-07.csv', 'data/inflammation-08.csv', 'data/inflammation-09.csv', 'data/inflammation-10.csv', 'data/inflammation-11.csv', 'data/inflammation-12.csv']

results in a list of strings, we can loop oer
we want to create sets of plots



In [5]:

    
# loop here
counter = 0
for filename in glob.glob('data/*.csv'):
    #counter+=1
    counter = counter + 1
print("number of files:", counter)









    



number of files: 15

counter = 0
for filename in glob.glob('data/infl*.csv'):

We can ask Python to take different actions, depending on a condition, with an if statement:

Making choices

last lesson we discovereed something suspicious in our inflammatin data by drawing plots
how can python recognized these different features and act on it
we will write code that runs on certain conditions



In [6]:

    
#We use an if statement to take different actions 
#based on conditions
num = 37
if num > 100:
    print('greater')
else:
    print('not greater')
print('done')









    



not greater
done

second line of code above uses keyword if to denote choice
if the test after if is true, the body of the if are executed
if test false the body else is executed
conditional statements don't have to include else - if not present python does nothing



In [7]:

    
num = 53
print('before conditional...')
if num > 100:
    print('53 is greater than 100')
print('...after conditional')









    



before conditional...
...after conditional

we can also chain several tests together using elif, short for else if



In [8]:

    
num = -3

if num > 0:
    print(num, "is positive")
elif num == 0:
    print(num, "is zero")
else:
    print(num, "is negative")









    



-3 is negative

NOTE: we use == to test for equality rather than single equal b/c the later is the assignment operator
we can also combine tests using and and or. and is only true if both parts are true



In [9]:

    
if (1 > 0) and (-1 > 0):
    print('both parts are true')
else:
    print('at least one part is false')









    



at least one part is false

while or is true if at least one part is true:



In [10]:

    
if (1 < 0) or (-1 < 0):
    print('at least one test is true')









    



at least one test is true

Challenge - making choices:

Which of the following would be printed if you were to run this code? Why did you pick this answer?

A B C B and C

if 4 > 5:
    print('A')
elif 4 == 5:
    print('B')
elif 4 < 5:
    print('C')



In [1]:

    
if 4 > 5:
    print('A')
elif 4 == 5:
    print('B')
elif 4 < 5:
    print('C')

Challenge - making choices 2:

True and False are special words in Python called booleans which represent true and false statements. However, they aren’t the only values in Python that are true and false. In fact, any value can be used in an if or elif. After reading and running the code below, explain what the rule is for which values are considered true and which are considered false.

if '':
    print('empty string is true')
if 'word':
    print('word is true')
if []:
    print('empty list is true')
if [1, 2, 3]:
    print('non-empty list is true')
if 0:
    print('zero is true')
if 1:
    print('one is true')



In [3]:

    
if '':
    print('empty string is true')
if 'word':
    print('word is true')
if []:
    print('empty list is true')
if [1, 2, 3]:
    print('non-empty list is true')
if 0:
    print('zero is true')
if 1:
    print('one is true')









    



word is true
non-empty list is true
one is true
