Homework Submission

[safdarmt]

I have two questions regarding homework submission in general:

1. In what format do we need to download the Jupyter Notebook to be able to submit it in google classroom?
2. When a problem asks for the solution to be timed, do we just need to include the %%time command in our code? Or, do we need to time it and then also use a print statement to print the amount of time for said problem?

Please advise!

Thanks for kicking off this discussion!

1. In what format do we need to download the Jupyter Notebook to be able to submit it in google classroom?

Final format submission is pdf:

• click File -> Download as -> HTML
• open the .html file
• print to pdf

If you want to use $$\LaTeX$$, you can "download as pdf", but you usually get a Error 500 response with Tex compiling

2. When a problem asks for the solution to be timed, do we just need to include the %%time command in our code? Or, do we need to time it and then also use a print statement to print the amount of time for said problem?

You can time cells with

%% time
x = 1
for i in range(10):
  x *= i

Here I'm timing a factorial operation

It automatically prints the result of the timed operation. It changes each time you run it, so if you want a more stable result, use %%timeit to get an average over ~100,000 runs of the cell

e.g.

%% timeit
x = 1
for i in range(10):
  x *= i
