Graded Problem Set #2.2
Conditionals

Background

These problems should be completed on your own. Unlike the practice problems, where you are allowed, and even encouraged, to talk about the process with your classmates, these should be attempted on your own. If you have difficulty with these, please reach out to me for assistance or guidance.

These problems will be completed using an editor such as Thonny or IDLE and submitted to Autolab for grading.

Activities

Please try to make your program output look as much like the example as possible and verify it works with the example input provided. If you have difficulty finding the information or understanding how to approach the problem, you should contact me.

To complete this activity, you will need to create the following scripts:

• Cond G1 - Crazy Al's Bargain Barn
• Cond G2 - How Cloudy is it?
• Cond G3 - Can I retire?
• Cond G4 - Is this QB having a good year?

Cond G1

Bargain. Bargain. Who wants a bargain?

Crazy Als Bargain Barn sells bangles and baubles for cheap. Everything is normally 99 cents each . However, if you buy more than 25 things he sells them to you for 94 cents each.

Write a Python script that conforms to the following

• Inputs
  • asks for the number of items you are purchasing
• Print Statements
  The cost of the items (rounded to 2 decimal places
• Example(s)
  • 

Cond G2

How Cloudy is it?

Stormy Whether is the meteoroligist at the local TV station. [Sure, you laugh at that made up name, but do you think the local CBS guy's REAL name is Joe WINTERS?]

Write a Python script that conforms to the following

• Inputs
  • asks for the percentage of clouds
• Print Statements
  The category based on the following table:

  • Percentage	Description
    Exactly 0%	Clear
    Up to but not including 25%	Few Clouds
    Up to but not including 50%	Scattered Clouds
    Up to but not including 75%	Broken Clouds
    75% or higher	Overcast

• Example(s)
  • 
• NOTE:
  • Remember that Python is case sensitive and Autolab will be looking for the Descriptions assigned above. This may seem like a hassle. But it is important.

Cond G3

Can I retire yet?

Ike Witt is tired of teaching. He wants to know if he can afford to retire. To draw IPERS (Iowa Public Employees Retirement System) retirement one must meet at least one of three conditions:

• age is 65 or more.
• age is at least 62 and years of service is at least 20
• sum of age and years of service equals or exceeds 88

Write a Python script that conforms to the following

• Inputs
  • asks for your age
  • asks for number of years you have been working for IPERS
• Print Statements
  • Yes or No
• Example(s)
  • 

Cond G4

Quarterback Passer Rating Category

Steve Lers is a statistician working for the NFL. Part of his job is to keep track of how the Quarterbacks are doing each season. Over the years the NFL has used a statistic called the Quarterback Passer Rating (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passer_rating) to compare how QBs are doing compared to each other and compared to themselves year over year. The formula (we will look at the actual formula later in the course) produces a score between 0 and 158.3333333. The higher the rating the better season the QB is having. Furthermore, there is some consensus that we can "categorize" the year a player is having using the following analysis.

Write a Python script that conforms to the following

• Inputs
  • asks for the player's current rating
• Print Statements
  • if the score entered is "valid" [0-158.33333] then it prints the category from the table above
  • or
  • if the score is invalid then it prints "ERROR"

• Example(s)
