Python Exercises 48

In a file called LastnameFirstnameFINAL.py, using your first and last name, create a program with 5 functions + a main function to demonstrate different concepts.

For the first four functions, you are free to make the functions do whatever you like and add on any other elements you want, as long as 1) they are not similar to past assignments or examples, and 2) the functions adhere to the following guidelines:

• function1:
  • Should be passed either an int or float
  • Use an if-elseif-else that somehow incorporates the int/float value
  • Returns a value
• function 2:
  • Should have at least three parameters
  • Should use either the Math or the Random module
  • Returns a value
• function3:
  • Should be passed at least two things
  • Should use a String method
  • Should do one of the following: use a loop, access the web, automate a task
• function 4:
  • Should be passed a list or dictionary
  • Use at least 1 method on the list/dictionary
  • Print the list/dictionary with a for loop

function5 will be used to record data to a separate file

• Will be passed at least two things
• In a separate text file, record the user's name, how many times they accessed each of the 4 functions, and an optional note from the user

The last function will be the main function.

• main:
  • Ask your user for their name, then say hello
  • Allow your user to press: 1, 2, or 3, or 4 in order to call one of the first 4 functions
  • Use a loop to continually allow your user to call any of the 4 functions
  • Keep track of how many times your user uses each of the 4 functions
  • Allow the user to quit the program by pressing 0
    • When the user chooses to quit the program, pass the user's name, the record of how many times they used each of the 4 functions, and an optional note from the user. Write out this data to a separate file, appending the record so it can record previous uses of the program. For example, the text file might read:

      USER: Nikki
      FUNCTION CALLS: function1: 1x
      function2: 3x
      function3: 1x
      function4: 2x
      NOTES: omg function4 was the best 5 out of 5 stars!
      
      USER: Bob
      FUNCTION CALLS: function1: 0x
      function2: 10x
      function3: 0x
      function4: 0x
      NOTES: this program sucks, i'd rather watch paint dry
      
      USER: Kilroy
      FUNCTION CALLS: function1: 1x
      function2: 1x
      function3: 1x
      function4: 1x
      NOTES: kilroy was here
      

  • Print a message if the user doesn't input a valid command (in other words, not 1-4 or 0 for the command choices, or if you tell them to type yes or no and they type something different)
• Call main only once.
• Do not create any extra functions aside from what's asked for in the instructions. Remember that when a function returns something, you must do something with it.
• Please make sure your code is thoroughly commented and your output clearly explains to the user what is happening in your program.
• All code in your program must be inside of a function definition, aside from import statements and calling main. Make sure your code is ready to respond in case your user does not follow your instructions - please test your code extensively.
