Hi everyone!
I’ve been on Codecademy for almost two months, and just recently started the CS Certification course. This is a link to my GitHub of the py scripts.
It can perform three calculations: loans, certificates, and money market accounts. I actually had started working on this while taking the Intermediate/Advanced Python courses, because I work for a financial institution and I wanted to work on something that: a) would allow me to test my knowledge of Python outside of the Codecademy resources b) would have a real world proof of concept for something I have personal experience with and c) would work as a way to show them that I am interested in joining our tech team.
When I got to the portfolio assignment, I decided to take what I had done and flesh it out to be more like a terminal application. I added the print scripts to give it a title and description, and some line breaks. It is comprised of two Python scripts. I know I could have fit it all into one, but I didn’t want to muck up my pretty classes with print scripts, so I wrote them into a second file and imported it into the main file so that I could just put the print() statements in the main script.
Anecdote: I also switched from KATE (KDE text editor) to neovim while doing this. I really like it and can see why it is a popular editor.
Here is the link to the Git repo
