The following is just a reminder:
- You can navigate to any folder code with:
cd <folder>
- You can list files in a folder with
ls
- You can run your code, if you are in the same folder as the file, with:
python3 <filename.py>
You can cycle through previous commands with your up arrow. This way you do not have to keep typing in the commands to run the code.
- Go to the following directory path:
ch01 > exercises
- If not already present, create a new file:
touch rectangle.py
- Complete the following activity in
rectangle.py
- After completing the activity below:
- Make a commit (with any message you want)
- Push your changes back to your Github repository.
- Choose any regular polygon and save the name in a variable:
shape = "megagon"
- Store the number of sides of your shape in another variable:
sides = 1000000
- Calculate and print the internal angle value of your chosen shape
- DO NOT HARDCODE THE ANGLE, i.e.
triangle_angle=60. Let the computer do the math.
- How to get the internal angle?
- The number of sides always determines the internal angle for a regular polygon
- The formula for finding the internal angles is:
((n-2)×180)/n where n is the number of sides
