There were several good solution programs for [[CSC111 Homework 6 Solution 2014| Homework 6]].  You were not required to use a '''main()''' function, although some did.  The program below is a good example of how Python programs should be organized, with a header first, possibly a few import statements, maybe a constant or two, then a long list of function definitons ('''def''' statements), then the definition of the '''main()''' function, and at the very end, one call to '''main()''' that starts the whole program.

There were several good solution programs for [[CSC111 Homework 6 Solution 2014| Homework 6]].  You were not required to use a '''main()''' function, although some did.  The programs below were selected because they presented good features (not necessarily the same).

This program was the shortest in the class.  Very tight, concise, and works well.  I prefer when the program contains more functions, but this one gets special reward for concise coding.
