Okay, so I wanted to make a simple project, you know, just to mess around with some basic coding. I decided to create something called “bag jason”. It’s basically… well, it’s hard to explain without showing the process, so let’s just jump in.
First, I fired up my text editor. Nothing fancy, just a plain old text editor. I like to keep things simple, especially when I’m starting a new project. It helps me focus on the core logic without getting bogged down in complicated IDE features.
I decided to use Python. It’s pretty easy to pick up, and I’ve dabbled in it before. Plus, there are tons of helpful resources online if I get stuck. I am not expert, I just learning by doing.
My coding process:
- I started by defining a simple class. Call it `Item`. Each `Item` would have a `name` and a `weight`. This is to represent items that Jason might want to put in his bag.
- Then I created another class, `Bag`. This `Bag` would have a `max_weight` and a list to hold the `items`.
- I added a method to the `Bag` class called `add_item`. This function checks if adding a new item would exceed the `max_weight`. If it doesn’t, it adds the item to the bag’s `items` list.
- I wanted to make it a little more interactive, so I added some code to take input from the user. The user can input the item’s name and weight, and the program will try to add it to the bag.
- I added print massege to know what happened after each step, if it added or not and why.
I ran into a few small issues. I messed up the weight comparison at first. It always add the item whatever its weight. Silly mistake, really. I fixed by changing one of the `>` signs. The whole `bag` is working.
So, there you have it. “bag jason” in a nutshell. It’s not going to win any awards, but it was a fun little exercise. It helped me brush up on some basic programming concepts, and I even learned a thing or two along the way. I might add more features later, like removing items or displaying the total weight, but for now, I’m happy with it.
