BES 103– Computer Fundamentals and Programming

Lab Activity 4: Arrays

LEARNING OUTCOMES: At the end of this lesson, you are

expected to:
1. Execute a Python program that can generate Arrays.
2. Analyze how nested For loop is used in creating multi-dimensional
arrays or matrices.
3. Create a Python program that will allow the user to input m x n
matrix.

TIME FRAME: 1 Week

INTRODUCTION:
In this Lesson, you will explore to run that can generate Arrays and
Matrices examples in Python using Nested For loops. After completing this
lesson, you will be more confident in creating your own Python program
involving arrays and matrices.
Enjoy exploring!

1. Run the Pycharm.

2. Select and Click ‘New’ in the File tab them choose Python file and name it
using your family
SURNAME_PythonLab4_LabAct9.py

3. In it, encode the following codes shown in Figure 4.1 on your PyCharm
editor.

4. Once done, right click on any part of the editor then select and click Run.
5. In the Run tool window seen below the editor, you will be asked to enter
any number. Once done inputting, press “Enter” to continue.

6. Screenshot the Editor window as well as the Run tool window.

7. The images of the two windows must be documented and must include
captions. Also, draw a conclusion about the activity. The output of this
Activity as well as the Analysis section seen below must be saved in one
document.
