Now You Code 3: Limerick Generator

We will write code in this example to create the first two lines of a Limerick. We're going to keep it really simple, and ask for 4 inputs:

• a woman's name
• a place
• an item
• a material

The place and material must rhyme. The Python program will then output the first two lines of the limerick, substituting the values you've entered.

Example 1:

INPUT:

• Enter a woman's name: Jane
• Enter a place: New York
• Enter an item: hat
• Enter a material, which rhymes with 'New York': cork.

OUTPUT: I once knew Jane from New York. Her hat was constructed of cork.

Example 2:

INPUT:

• Enter a woman's name: Agatha
• Enter a place: my car
• Enter an item: bike
• Enter a material, which rhymes with 'my car': tar

OUTPUT: I once knew Agatha from my car. Her bike was constructed of tar.

Step 1: Problem Analysis

Step 3: Questions

1. What happens when neglect to follow the instructions and enter any inputs we desire? Does the code still run? Why?

Answer:

1. What type of error occurs when the program runs but does not handle bad input?

Answer:

1. Is there anything you can do in code to correct this type of error? Why or why not?

Answer:

Step 4: Reflection

Reflect upon your experience completing this assignment. This should be a personal narrative, in your own voice, and cite specifics relevant to the activity as to help the grader understand how you arrived at the code you submitted. Things to consider touching upon: Elaborate on the process itself. Did your original problem analysis work as designed? How many iterations did you go through before you arrived at the solution? Where did you struggle along the way and how did you overcome it? What did you learn from completing the assignment? What do you need to work on to get better? What was most valuable and least valuable about this exercise? Do you have any suggestions for improvements?

To make a good reflection, you should journal your thoughts, questions and comments while you complete the exercise.

Keep your response to between 100 and 250 words.
