Python Assignment3

This assignment consists of three parts, focusing on programming with Python. Part A requires writing a program to calculate the sum of integers from 1 to 10 using loops, while Parts B and C involve user input for purchases and investment alternatives, respectively. Students must submit three separate programs and ensure they handle various user inputs, including invalid ones.

Programming with Python

Prof. Groner
Assignment 3: Repetition

THE PROBLEMS

This assignment has 3 parts, the questions for parts B and C can be found in the online textbook at the end of
Chapter 4 in the section "Programming Problems".
Blackboard > Content > Textbook: Introduction to Python for Data & Analysis

Part A) Sum of Sequence


Using looping, write a program that calculates the total of the sequence of integers from 1 to 10 and displays the
result. Use either the while or for statement. For your program, define a variable, for example n, set to 10, so
that it is easy to change and rerun.

Part B) Purchases - problem 1

Part C) Investment Alternatives - problem 5


See appendix in this assignment, about keeping track of a largest value.

Notes (parts B and C):


1) Use the Python input() function in combination with either int() or float() to prompt the user for the
required inputs and convert these to numbers.
2) For all assignments in the course, you should test your programs for different user inputs, including invalid inputs
(e.g., 0, negative, strings). At this point in the course, it is ok if your program works for valid inputs but does not work
for invalid inputs.

SUBMISSION DIRECTIONS

Write and submit 3 programs corresponding to the above 3 parts. Name your programs like:
<Lastname><Firstname>Asn3<part>.py
for example:
[Link]
[Link]
[Link]

The first line of each of your programs should have a comment like:
# John Smith – Assignment 3A
APPENDIX –Tracking the Largest

In order to keep track of a largest (or smallest) value, you can set one or more variables before a loop, and use if
inside the loop. For example, to keep track of the largest number a user enters:
# determine largest value of a sequence of user-entered numbers
largest = float('-inf') # -inf is a special Python value for -infinity
value = -1
while value != 0:
value = input('Enter a number (or 0 to end): ')
if value != 0 and value > largest:
largest = value
print('largest value = ', largest)
