Melody Structures

create melody

We can create melodies by coding structures to hold pitch data. These structures are like sequence of

boxes, with each box holding some data, or a pitch, inside. Let's code some melodies.

Let us first create a melody using a list of notes.

Create a list and access an element with [ ] ( remember, elements start at 0 ) :

melody = [0, 5, 7]

run.melody[0]

There are no rows in this table

⁠

edit melody

Lists are mutable, meaning we can change or mutate them. Let's make some changes.

Try adding some stuff with append( ) and extend( ),

melody.add(5)

run.melody[4]

There are no rows in this table

⁠

and then take something off of the list with pop( ):

one = melody.del(0)

run.melody[3]

There are no rows in this table

⁠

2 or more lists can be added together to form a new list:

melody2 = [2, 9, 11]

melody3 = melody1+melody2

5, 7, 5, 2, 9, 10

There are no rows in this table

save tuning

If we would like to save our tuning, we can save it as a set of pitches. The set mutable, kind of like lists, except

in a set, every kind of thing can only appear once.

Set example:

build set

setOne = {1,2,3,4}

setTwo = {1,5,7,9}

union, intersection, difference

unionSet = setOne.union(setTwo)

intersect = setOne.intersection(setTwo)

difference = setOne.difference(setTwo)

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9}

{1}

{2, 3, 4}

Dictionaries are some of the most powerful Python data structures. They hold data in key value pairs.

construct dictionary and get value y by key x

dictionaryOne = {1: "b", 2: 19 }

print(dictionaryOne.items())

dictionaryOne.get(1)

Control Flow

Create loop

Loops are not data structures; rather, they are control structures, or structures for controlling other

structures. Lets loop through a list and run each note

for(note in melody):

run.note

5, 7, 5, 2, 9, 10

Functions

Create Functions

Functions are blocks of organized code that run when given a push.

We're going to build different types of functions.

simple function examples:

zero input

def Allahuabha():

print("Allahuabha!")

Allahuabha()

Allahuabha!

single input

def plus(input):

print(input+1)

plus(0)

multiple input

def adder(input1, input2):

print(input1+input2)

adder(5,9)

nested functions

def addem(x,y):

def inner(val):

return val**val

return(inner(x), inner(y))

Lambda functions are anonymous functions.

construct lambda function:

echo_word = (lambda word1, echo: word1 * echo)

result = echo_word('hey', 5)

print(result)

There are no rows in this table

⁠

construct filter lambda

quarks = ['up', 'down', 'strange']

result = filter(lambda type: len(type) > 5, quarks)

result_list = list(result)

There are no rows in this table

⁠

filter DataFrame with lambda

result =

filter(lambda x: x[0:2] == 'RT', tweets_df['text'])

res_list = list(result)

for tweet in res_list:

print(tweet)

There are no rows in this table

⁠

construct map lambda

charge = ["+", "-"]

change_charge =

map(lambda item: item+"-", charge)

charge_list = list(change_charge)

There are no rows in this table

⁠

construct reduce lambda

from functools import reduce

quark = ['up', 'down','strange']

result =

reduce(lambda item1, item2: item1 + item2, stark)

There are no rows in this table
