Python Script for User Input Programs

Answered using GPT-4o mini by AI Answer Generator

Question:

You will be submitting a single python file named Lastname_Initials_H10.py, that includes a “main” which calls all of your programs. • When I run your code, the programs should execute one after the next, without stopping. Do NOT import any libraries/modules for this assignment. Use lists and loops. • Your file should include: • Commented assignment information at the top: name, course, date, etc When each program runs, it should first print out a program header statement with the program number and a brief description of what the program does Read the entire assignment first. • There are a number of programs, although you will find they do many of the same things. Identify any tasks that are required in more than one program, such as getting inputs, determining the data type of an input, etc. Try to make a single common function that can be used in all the programs to perform that task. • As you should be building the programs individually, you will need to include these common functions as you build each program. However, when the programs are all put together in one file, there only needs to be one definition of these common functions which can then be called by multiple programs. Program 1: “List of 7 Unique Integers” Create a program that allows a user to input individual integers. Once 7 unique integers have been entered, then the integers are displayed, along with their sum and average. The user may ONLY enter integers, so if a string or float is entered, then the user should be notified and prompted to enter an integer. If the user enters an integer which has previously been entered, the user should be prompted “That number is already in the list - please enter another integer.” The functionality must be accomplished using a list and loop(s), and the program must include at least 4 functions:

  1. An appropriately named function that runs the program including a finished statement.
  2. a program header
  3. a function that gets user inputs, ensuring those inputs are integers.
  4. a function that builds the list and returns the list to function 1 above. For example, if the user enters the numbers 3 to 9, the program should output: Your list of numbers is: [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] The sum of your numbers is 42 The average of your numbers is 6 Program 2: “Counting Characters” Create a program that allows a user to enter a string and then outputs the number of characters in that string. Do not use the length function, but instead use a for or while loop. The program must include at least 4 functions:
  5. an appropriately named function that runs the program including a finished statement.
  6. a program header
  7. a function that gets the user’s string input and passes that value.
  8. a function that takes the input string as an argument and returns the count of characters. E.g., if the user enters the string “Bob” the program should output: Your string is ‘Bob’ which has 3 characters. Program 3: “Make a New Number List” Program 5: “Delete Negative Numbers from a List” Create a program that allows a user to enter any number of integers and/or floats, store them as a list, and then print the list of numbers without the elements that are negative numbers. The user may continue entering values until entering the string ‘done.’ The user may ONLY enter numbers, except for the sentinel ‘done.’ The program must include at least 4 functions:
  9. An appropriately named function that runs the program including a finished statement.
  10. a program header
  11. a function that gets user inputs, ensuring those inputs are numeric, puts them into a list, and returns the list
  12. a function that takes a list as an argument and returns a list like the passed list, but without the negative elements E.g., if the user enters the number 3, -2.9, 8.4, -5, 10 then the program should print: Your inputs are [3, -2.9, 8.4, -5, 10] A list of your inputs without the negative numbers is [3, 8.4, 10]. The Overall Assignment Program The intent of this program is to run Programs 1-5 in sequence. Your program must include 8 functions. • main • create the assignment header • call the 5 programs in order • create an assignment footer The definition of your main should be the first program listed at the top of your code. At the very bottom of your code, after all the functions have been defined, include this If name == “main”: main()

Create a program that allows a user to enter any number of integers and/or floats, store them as a list, and then print those inputs as both 1) a single list and 2) values printed in a column with one number per line, indented to a single tab. The user may continue entering values until entering the string ‘done.’ The user may ONLY enter numbers, except for the sentinel ‘done.’ The program must include at least 5 functions:

  1. An appropriately named function that runs the program including a finished statement.
  2. a program header
  3. a function that gets user inputs while ensuring those inputs are numeric, and returns the number cast as either an int or a float as appropriate.
  4. a function that builds a list one element at a time and then returns the list.
  5. a function that takes a list as an argument and prints the list elements as 1) a single list and 2) in a column, one item per line, indented to a single tab. E.g., if the user enters the number 3, 2.9, and 8.41, the program should print: Your numbers in a list are [3, 2.9, 8.41] The numbers you entered are: 3 2.9 8.41. Program 4: “Count the Negative Numbers in List” Create a program that allows a user to enter any number of integers and/or floats, store them as a list, and then print the list of numbers and the count of elements that are negative numbers. The user may continue entering values until entering the sentinel value which must be the string ‘done.’ The user may ONLY enter numbers, except for the sentinel ‘done.’ The program must include at least 4 functions:
  6. An appropriately named function that runs the program including a finished statement.
  7. a program header
  8. a function that gets user inputs, ensuring those inputs are numeric, puts them into a list, and returns the list
  9. a function that takes a list as an argument and returns the count of list elements that are negative E.g., if the user enters the number 3, -2.9, 8.4, and -5 then the program should print: Your inputs are [3, -2.9, 8.4, -5] You entered 2 negative numbers.
Answer:

Here's a Python script that fulfills the requirements of your assignment. The script includes all the specified programs, common functions, and a main function to run them sequentially.

        else:
            print("Invalid input. Please enter an integer.")

def get_numeric_input():
    while True:
        user_input = input("Please enter a number (or 'done' to finish): ")
        if user_input.lower() == 'done':
            return None
        try:
            return float(user_input)
        except ValueError:
            print("Invalid input. Please enter a number.")

def program_1():
    program_header(1, "List of 7 Unique Integers")
    unique_numbers = []
    while len(unique_numbers) < 7:
        num = get_integer_input()
        if num in unique_numbers:
            print("That number is already in the list - please enter another integer.")
        else:
            unique_numbers.append(num)
    
    total = sum(unique_numbers)
    average = total / len(unique_numbers)
    print(f"Your list of numbers is: {unique_numbers}")
    print(f"The sum of your numbers is {total}")
    print(f"The average of your numbers is {average:.2f}")

def program_2():
    program_header(2, "Counting Characters")
    user_string = input("Please enter a string: ")
    count = 0
    for char in user_string:
        count += 1
    print(f"Your string is '{user_string}' which has {count} characters.")

def program_3():
    program_header(3, "Make a New Number List")
    numbers = []
    while True:
        num = get_numeric_input()
        if num is None:
            break
        numbers.append(num)
    
    print(f"Your inputs are {numbers}")
    positive_numbers = [num for num in numbers if num >= 0]
    print(f"A list of your inputs without the negative numbers is {positive_numbers}.")

def program_4():
    program_header(4, "Count the Negative Numbers in List")
    numbers = []
    while True:
        num = get_numeric_input()
        if num is None:
            break
        numbers.append(num)
    
    print(f"Your inputs are {numbers}")
    negative_count = sum(1 for num in numbers if num < 0)
    print(f"You entered {negative_count} negative numbers.")

def program_5():
    program_header(5, "Delete Negative Numbers from a List")
    numbers = []
    while True:
        num = get_numeric_input()
        if num is None:
            break
        numbers.append(num)
    
    print(f"Your inputs are {numbers}")
    positive_numbers = [num for num in numbers if num >= 0]
    print(f"A list of your inputs without the negative numbers is {positive_numbers}.")
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Explanation of the Code:

  1. Header Information: The top of the file contains comments with your name, course, date, and a brief description of the script.
  2. Main Function: The main() function calls each program in sequence.
  3. Program Header Function: The program_header() function prints the program number and description.
  4. Input Functions:
    • get_integer_input() ensures the user inputs a valid integer.
    • get_numeric_input() ensures the user inputs a valid number or 'done' to finish.
  5. Individual Programs: Each program is defined as a separate function, implementing the required functionality as specified in the assignment.

Usage:

  • Replace [Your Name], [Your Course], and [Current Date] with your actual information.
  • Run the script in a Python environment to execute the programs sequentially.
