# Python Modules, Packages, and APIs: Practice Problems, Part 1
|
|
|
|
In this homework, you're going to write code for a challenge problem.
|
|
|
|
You will practice these programming concepts we've covered in class:
|
|
|
|
* Including and using modules and packages
|
|
|
|
**Note:** This homework is Part 1 of a two-part assignment. Save your solution code — the next homework will build off of it!
|

## Deliverables
|
|
|
|
This homework will be a two-part code challenge with a bonus. It will be a little different than the other homework because Part 2 will build on the code from Part 1. You can put all of your code in one file called `solution.py`. Right now, just make that one file.
|
|
|
|
*Reminder: On your laptop, you can run the file from your command line with the following:*
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
python solution.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Hint:** Make sure you are printing something out with the `print` statement. Otherwise, you won't see any output from running your program!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements:
|
|
|
|
By the end of this, you should have:
|
|
* A file called `solution.py` with your code from this challenge.

# Code Challenges

## Problem 1: Geo Cody
|
|
|
|
### Skill you're practicing: Importing and using modules/packages.
|
|
|
|
Cody and his friends Heather and Matt are going on a road trip across the Western United States and Canada. They want to visit several landmarks, national parks, and big cities. Here's their agenda:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Space Needle
|
|
Crater Lake
|
|
Golden Gate Bridge
|
|
Yosemite National Park
|
|
Las Vegas, Nevada
|
|
Grand Canyon National Park
|
|
Aspen, Colorado
|
|
Mount Rushmore
|
|
Yellowstone National Park
|
|
Sandpoint, Idaho
|
|
Banff National Park
|
|
Capilano Suspension Bridge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your job is to put these destinations into a list of strings called `destinations`. Then, import the [geocoder module](https://geocoder.readthedocs.io/providers/ArcGIS.html#geocoding) and use it to translate each of the landmarks into latitude-longitude coordinates. You'll need to loop through the list and print each location's latitude and longitude. We will be using `arcgis` to translate the places to coordinates. Visit the [docs](https://geocoder.readthedocs.io/results.html) for more sample code.
|
|
|
|
#### Sample Code (`geocoder`/`arcgis`)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import geocoder
|
|
|
|
g = geocoder.arcgis('Redlands, CA')
|
|
|
|
print(g.latlng) # latlng is a tuple with a length of 2.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Starter Code
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import geocoder
|
|
|
|
# Declare destinations list here.
|
|
|
|
# Loop through each destination.
|
|
for point in destinations:
|
|
# Get the lat-long coordinates from `geocoder.arcgis`.
|
|
# Print out the place name and the coordinates.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Expected Output
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Space Needle is located at (47.6205, -122.3493)
|
|
Crater Lake is located at (42.8684, -122.1685)
|
|
Golden Gate Bridge is located at (37.8199, -122.4783)
|
|
Yosemite National Park is located at (37.8651, -119.5383)
|
|
Las Vegas, Nevada is located at (36.1699, -115.1398)
|
|
Grand Canyon National Park is located at (36.1070, -112.1130)
|
|
Aspen, Colorado is located at (39.1911, -106.8175)
|
|
Mount Rushmore is located at (43.8791, -103.4591)
|
|
Yellowstone National Park is located at (44.4280, -110.5885)
|
|
Sandpoint, Idaho is located at (48.2766, -116.5535)
|
|
Banff National Park is located at (51.4968, -115.9281)
|
|
Capilano Suspension Bridge is located at (49.3429, -123.1149)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
> **Hint:** We're following the pattern in the `geonames` example in the [docs](https://geocoder.readthedocs.io/results.html), only replacing `geonames` with `arcgis`.
