• Each program must contain at least one for loop.
• Each program should accept user input using at least one input statement.
• Each program should give the user a response using at least one print statement. Alternatively, the program may employ turtle graphics for its output.
• At least one of the programs must employ a list.
• At least one of the programs must contain at least one if statement.
• Each program should fulfill a useful, contextualized purpose.
• If you would like to employ a Python concept that we have not yet covered in class, you are welcome to do so.
• Submit each program as a separate *.py file, via Moodle.
• The project is due on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 11:55 pm.

Here are some examples of project ideas. You are welcome to use any of these. Feel free to expand (or simplify) any of these suggestions; alternatively, you are greatly encouraged to pursue your own project ideas. In any event, make sure your submissions fulfill to the above requirements.

NOTE: A program need not be long to be useful. Aside from the turtle program (23 lines), all of my solutions for the project ideas below were 10 lines or less.

• Write a program that is a math tutor. It could contain a list of math problems. It would then loop over this list, displaying each problem and requesting an answer. It would tell the user whether or not each answer is correct, and it would display the player's score when finished. Here's what this could look like:

  3 * 2 = 6
  Correct!
  5 * 4 = 20
  Correct!
  1 + 3 = 2
  Sorry, answer is: 4
  4 - 2 = 2
  Correct!
  Total correct: 3
  

• Write a program that accepts a list of employee names and salaries. It will print the name and salary of the highest-paid employee and the lowest-paid employee. Here's an example:

  How many employees are there? 3
  Enter name:Moe
  Enter salary:50000
  Enter name:Larry
  Enter salary:30000
  Enter name:Curly
  Enter salary:20000
  Highest paid is Moe with salary 50000
  Lowest paid is Curly with salary 20000
  

• Write a program that accepts a mathematical equation from the user, as well as starting and ending values. It will print the summation of every value of that equation across that range. Here's an example:

  Enter expression with free variable 'x':x**2
  Enter starting x:1
  Enter ending x:5
  sum: 55
  

• Write a program that accepts instructions for a turtle. Instructions alternate between forward distances and turns. It will then execute the instructions. Here's an example:

  Enter number of turtle commands:6
  Enter distance:100
  Enter right turn angle:120
  Enter distance:100
  Enter right turn angle:-120
  Enter distance:50
  Enter right turn angle:0
