Part 1: While Loops

Exercise 1: Robust Input with While

def getPositiveNumber():
    #
    # put your code here
    #


def main():

    # Part 1, Exercise 1
    x = getPositiveNumber()
    print( "getPositiveNumber() returned", x )

main()

Complete the function getPositiveNumber()" so that it asks the user for a number larger than 0, and keeps on prompting the user as long as she doesn't enter a valid number.

Below is an example of the interaction between computer and user.

Please enter a number greater than 0: -1
-1 is invalid.
Please enter a number greater than 0: -3
-3 is invalid.
Please enter a number greater than 0: 0
0 is invalid.
Please enter a number greater than 0: 20
getPositiveNumber() returned 20
