Question

In PYTHON ONLY PLEASE

You will use a dictionary in Python

You only have string in Python so you have to use a string data type

Use a Switch statement.A switch statement is just another way of writing an IF statement. The user will enter f, s, j, or r from the keyboard for freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior.

Use character data type for c++. Then you can say something like:

char level ='f';

level=toupper(level);

You would need a loop for 1 to 5, to test for f, s, j, r and also anillegal grade level. Use a "z" for the illegal grade level

Convert the input to upper case so you won't have a case in your switch for both lower and upper case letters.

Remember, a switch statement is just another way of writing an if statement.

Then inside the switch statement print out if they were a freshman, sophomore, etc. spelled all the way out.

So the input for freshmen is a "f", but the output is "Freshmen".

Unlike most other programming languages I've used before, Python does not have a switch or case statement. To get around this fact, we use dictionary mapping.A later chapter in the Python book (14)covers dictionaries plus I have some examples in the daily lessons.

switcher = {

0: "zero",

1: "one",

2: "two",

}

return switcher.get(argument, "nothing")

Another Python Example:

states={

'AL':"Alabama",

'GA':"Georgia",

"FL":"Florida"

}

You can use single or double quotes in Python

So you have an outer loop from 1 to 5, then inside the loop

you enter a letter

change the letter to upper case

have a switch statement or dictionary to check what was entered from the keyboard and print the appropriate grade level spelled out as in "Senior".

Use the appropriate syntax for your programming language. C++ and Java are almost the same. Don't forget your breaks in the switch statement.

grades { 1 Python 3.6.1 (default, Dec 2015, 13:05:11) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux Enter a letter: F F': 'freshman', 's': 'sophomore', J': junior', R': 'senior eshman you are att r: r Vou are sentor Enter a letter: S you are sophomore Enter a letter: z 7 for i in range ( 5): c input('Enter a letter: '):1] c c.upper) Invalid grade character. Enter a letter: J 10 you are junior 11 if c in grades : 12 print ('you are', grades[c]) 13 else: 14 print('Inval grade character.') 15

grades = {
        'F': 'freshman',
        'S': 'sophomore',
        'J': 'junior',
        'R': 'senior'

for i in range(5):
        c = input('Enter a letter: ')[:1]
        c = c.upper()

        if c in grades:
                print('you are', grades[c])
        else:
                print('Invalid grade character.')
