CALM - Moving Out 1¶
This project is also available as a single notebook file here
📘Imagine that you are in your early twenties and it is time to move out of your family home. You work 40 hours per week and your wage is $15.00 per hour (gross income, meaning before deductions).
You will be required to calculate your net income and manage financial resources effectively.
You may choose to live with a roommate. If you choose to live with a roommate and share rent, you must each complete and hand in a separate assignment.
You will use the internet for all the information required to complete this project. However, you may want to also refer to flyers to find prices for food and household items.
Technology¶
This project uses Jupyter notebooks, which are documents that contain formatted text and computer code (Python code in this case). This will allow you to do calculations much easier, and without a calculator.
The text and code blocks are called “cells”, this is a Markdown (text) cell.
Cells that contain a pencil emoji (✏️) are ones you should edit. Cells with a book emoji (e.g. 📘) are for you to read (or Run) without editing.
#📘This is a code cell.
# Run the code by selecting this cell then clicking on the ►Run button in the toolbar at the top.
2 + 3
#📘This is another code cell for you to run.
# Every line that starts with a # character is ignored when the computer runs the code
firstNumber = 2
secondNumber = 3
product = firstNumber * secondNumber
print(product)
📘That’s the basics of a Jupyter notebook, if you want to learn more and Jupyter click here.
For now, though, let’s get on with your CALM assignment.
Part 1 - Personal Profile¶
📘Complete these questions based on what your hope of plan to do with your life. Once you have answered all of the questions in the code cell below, run the cell using the Run button on the tool bar and it will store your answers in a text file.
