Lab 2.05 - College Chooser

  1. For each example below, predict what will be printed. Next, run the program and confirm what was output. 
    a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
    print(a[0])
    print(a[3])



    a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
    print(a[len(a) - 3])



    a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
    print(a[len(a) - 6])



    a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
    a[3] = 'haha'
    print(a)


2) Remember the game show program from last lab? Create this game again using lists and indexes. Updated rules below:

  • Declare 10 prizes (prize0, prize1, prize2 at the top of your file), but store them all in a list.
  • User picks a number.
  • Print prize associated with the door user picked.

3) Create a quiz to help you choose which college you should got to! The program should ask the user a question and list five possible answers. If the student chooses the first answer, add 1 point to School[0]. If they choose the second answer add 1 point to School[1]. And so on. At the end print out the schools and the scores for each school.

  • Create a list of 5 options of colleges/pets/tv-shows.
  • Create a different list of 5 0s, representing the user's votes so far.
  • Create 4 questions. Each question should have five different answers. Each answer corresponds to the specific school option.
  • At the end print off the 5 different schools and the score the user got for each of those schools.

Bonus!

Research nested lists and work through the following: 

a = ['a', 'b', 'c', ['d', 'e']]
print(len(a))



a = ['a', 'b', 'c', ['d', 'e']]
b = a[3]
print(b)


How would you access 'd' from the list a?
