==Your Assignment==
−
* Your assignment is to use the program below as a starting point.  You will call it hw7.py.
+
* What I have done is taken the code of the program above and rewritten it using functions.  I have basically moved statements from the main program into functions, so that the work performed by the second program is ''identical'' to the work performed by the first program.
−
* You cannot change any of the code below, except add statements inside the different functions.
+
* I am giving you the code of the second program, except that I have removed the bodies of all the functions except '''main()'''.
−
* You can figure out what the functions do because the main() function is complete, and is given to you in its entirety.
+
* Your job is to reconstruct all the functions (except '''main()''', of course, which is complete).
−
* The only statements for you to add are '''inside''' the functions '''removeHeader( )''', '''presName()''', '''reworkDate()''', '''printPresidency()''', and '''printAll()'''.
+
* The output of your program, with the functions, should be ''exactly'' the same as the output of the first program.
 
* You cannot modify '''main()'''.  It is complete and works fine.
 
* You cannot modify '''main()'''.  It is complete and works fine.
 
* You have to figure out what the functions do, and what they return.
 
* You have to figure out what the functions do, and what they return.
−
* The two programs, the one above, and yours, must perform the same work, and output the same information.
+
* Make sure you document your code well.  Your program should have
−
 
+
** a header, with a description of what it does
 +
** headers for each function.  This can be a short 1-liner for simple functions.  Use triple-double-quotes for function headers.
 +
** comments inside the code as needed to explain what goes on with the computation.

Your Assignment

  • What I have done is taken the code of the program above and rewritten it using functions. I have basically moved statements from the main program into functions, so that the work performed by the second program is identical to the work performed by the first program.
  • I am giving you the code of the second program, except that I have removed the bodies of all the functions except main().
  • Your job is to reconstruct all the functions (except main(), of course, which is complete).
  • The output of your program, with the functions, should be exactly the same as the output of the first program.
  • You cannot modify main(). It is complete and works fine.
  • You have to figure out what the functions do, and what they return.
  • Make sure you document your code well. Your program should have
    • a header, with a description of what it does
    • headers for each function. This can be a short 1-liner for simple functions. Use triple-double-quotes for function headers.
    • comments inside the code as needed to explain what goes on with the computation.
