CS 140: Introduction
to Computer Programming
HOMEWORK #1
due Friday, Sept 7 by
5:00pm
Guidelines
for completing and submitting homework
Refer to the first two paragraphs on the Grading Info
page for all the details. (Be sure to read
these paragraphs before starting on your
first assignment.) Briefly, you may
not collaborate with your classmates in
any way while writing homework
programs—experience has shown that this
policy is an unfortunate necessity for our
course. Please abide by it.
However, you may certainly consult Spencer
on Thursday evenings or Dr. V on Friday
afternoons as you create your
programs. Other QRC mentors may also
be able to help out, depending on their
experience with Python. Once you
have completed your program, or made as
much progress as possible, email your
program as an attachment to svandervelde@stlawu.edu.
Assignment
To begin, create a new document in Komodo
and include these comments at the top
# Your full
name
# Homework #1, Sept 7, 2012
# Individuals providing assistance,
if any
Then save your file using the format LastNameHW1.py.
(Thus I would name my program VanderveldeHW1.py.)
Now write a program that performs the
tasks listed below. (You will need to
choose variable names as you go; use a
single lower case word for each.)
Your program should include at least one elif
statement and at least one else
statement.
- Print an opening remark about how the user
needs to get arithmetic practice.
- Choose a random three-digit number, and
announce this fact to the user.
(Without revealing the secret number at this
point.)
- Ask the user to input their own
three-digit number.
- Compute this sum, storing the value in a
variable called total.
- Print a sentence displaying this sum.
- Ask the user to deduce the secret number
and input its value.
- Make a response depending upon whether the
answer was correct and also based on how
large the secret number was, as follows:
- (A) If
the secret number was 500 or more and the
answer was correct, provide a very positive
response.
- (B)
Meanwhile, if the secret number was less
than 500 and the answer was correct, provide
mild praise.
- (C) If
the secret number was 500 or more and the
answer was incorrect, state that the answer
was wrong, but hey, it was a tough question.
- (D)
Finally, if the secret number was less than
500 and the answer was incorrect, give the
user a hard time for missing such an easy
question.
- Now announce to the user the value of the
secret number and provide two numerical
facts regarding this number: the remainder
when the number is divided by 13 and the
cube of the number.
