Problem #1

• Write a program called hw5_1.py that asks the user for the name of a person to sing "Happy Birthday" to, and then displays the song in a box 52-characters wide.

Example output

Who should we sing for? Carl
+--------------------------------------------------+
|              Happy birthday to you!              |
|              Happy birthday to you!              |
|            Happy birthday, dear Carl!            |
|              Happy birthday to you!              |
+--------------------------------------------------+

Requirements

• This should be the outline of your program:

# hw5_1.py
# your name
# short description
def happyBirthday():
    ...

def happyBirthdayDear( name ):
    ...

def singSong( name ):
    ...

def main():
    ...

main()

• Make sure you use the same function names as shown above, with the same parameter name. The test script will look for the same format.

Submission to Moodle

• Submit your program in the HW5 PB 1 section on Moodle.

Problem #2

Modify your program, while still keeping the same organization (with some modifications, see below), so that the box is tight around the song, as illustrated below:

Example output 1

Who should we sing for? Lu
+------------------------+
| Happy birthday to you! |
| Happy birthday to you! |
|Happy birthday, dear Lu!|
| Happy birthday to you! |
+------------------------+

Example output 2

Who should we sing for? Alexandra-Katarina
+----------------------------------------+
|         Happy birthday to you!         |
|         Happy birthday to you!         |
|Happy birthday, dear Alexandra-Katarina!|
|         Happy birthday to you!         |
+----------------------------------------+

Requirements

• Your program should now have the following organization, where a new parameter is being passed to the functions. This parameter is the length of the line with the user name, inside the box.

# Hw5_2.py
# Your name
# short description

def happyBirthday( length ):
    ...

def happyBirthdayDear( name, length ):
    ...

def singSong( name, length ):
    ...

def main():
    ...

main()

Submission

• Name your program hw5_2.py and submit it to Moodle, Section HW 5 PB 2.

Problem #3

Modify your previous program and make it accept several names as an input:

Example output

Who should we sing for? 
(you may enter several names separated by spaces)
