# Let's get CodeFirst in Hacktoberfest... and practice what you have learned this week!

1. Go to [https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/):jack_o_lantern:
4
+
and Sign up using your GitHub account
5
+
2. Make sure that your local repository is up to date (Pull your repo! see the GIF below)
6
+
7
+
3. Also make sure that you are in Master (on GitKraken next to the repository name you should
8
+
see 'master')
9
+
4. Complete the following tasks
10
+
11
+
## Task 1
12
+
1. Open the `team.md` file contained in the Hacktoberfest folder
13
+
. Use atom or sublime to open and modify the file.
14
+
2. Copy the lines in the document and paste them below the dashes (---) replace this with your own personal information and save the document
15
+
3. Stage your files, write a commit message and push to your GitHub account
16
+
17
+
4. Create a pull request from your repository to the main `trallard/Shef_CodeFirst_Python` one
18
+
(remember what we checked in class choose on the right side your repo an on the left one trallard/....)
19
+
20
+
21
+
## Task 2
22
+
Fun with functions!
23
+
1. Create a new script in the Hacktoberfest folder and name it with your own username (e.g for me it would be `trallard.py`)
24
+
2. Remember what we learned about use inputs, variables and printing? In your new script create a code for a very basic Starbucks bot 😜 (check exercise 12 from the book for inspiration). Make sure the bot does the following things:
25
+
1. Ask for the user name
26
+
2. Ask for the order
27
+
3. Ask if you want whole milk or almond milk
28
+
4. Print a statement confirming the order and giving a price for this!
29
+
3. Make sure it runs, save it, commit your changes in Gitkraken and push to your GitHub account.
30
+
4. Create a pull request for this task too!
31
+
32
+
33
+
## Task 3!!! You are almost done! :fire:
34
+
1. Complete Exercise 21 in the Learn the Python the hard way. Save your script as `<username>21.py` (e.g. trallard21.py) in the Hacktoberfest folder.
35
+
2. Once completed commit your changes, and push to your repository!
36
+
3. Make your final pull request to the repository.
37
+
38
+
Remember you have up to 11:59pm October 31st to complete this. If you need any help let us know on Facebook, slack or via email!

#### Getting input from a user

From last week's session we now know how to create variables and how to print them, but what if we don't know what the value of our variable should be, because we need to get it from a user? Using the method `raw_input()` we can prompt a user for information.

Any time you write a function in Python, it'll have the following things:

- def at the very beginning, so that Python knows the indented code below is part of a function (you're "defining" your function below this line).
64

- A unique name, with no spaces in it. It's important that you don't have two functions with the exact same name in your code. You also don't want to name your function "function", "sum" or "python" (or later on in this course "email", "mailgun", or "tweepy"). If you name your function after a Python library or package or built-in function, Python will get really confused and your code won't run.

Notice how, after the first line of code in a function, the other lines are indented. In Python, this is very important – it's how the code interpreter in your computer knows what's part of your function and what isn't.

A function by itself doesn't actually do anything. You have to "call" it by its name, to run the code inside it. Calling a function is really easy! All you have to do is type the name of your function with () after it, like this: hello_world()

If none of your conditions are met, Python will simply carry on through the rest of your code. In the example above, we didn't write any code for the situation where the user enters a number between 1 and 10, so you didn't see any sort of helpful message or feedback in your terminal.

Notice how we used `int() `to convert the user input into a number. raw_input() treats all input as a string, so we used information in [Python's documentation](https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/stdtypes.html#typesnumeric) to figure out how to convert the user input to a number. You don't need to worry about this right now, but it's an example of something useful you can do with Python.
