Question

Create a program named distribute_race_awards_with_dictionary. This program performs a simple lookup based upon integer input provided by the user at the console. This program is different from a similar program created in a previous assignment in that the lookup is performed using a Python dictionary. When coding and testing this program, follow the approach that I take in the Part 2 tutorial video. When this program is run, console sessions should look like this: Please enter the place in which the participant finished (1, 2, 3, ...): 1 Participant place: 1 Participant award: Blue Ribbon Please enter the place in which the participant finished (1, 2, 3, ...): 6 Participant place: 6 Participant award: Purple Ribbon Please enter the place in which the participant finished (1, 2, 3, ...): 7 Participant place: 7 Participant award: Participant Ribbon Please enter the place in which the participant finished (1, 2, 3, ...): 0 Participant place: 0 Participant award: Input Error - Place must be greater than 0

Answer 1

CODE:

# intially place is 1 beacause to iterate the loop
place = 1
# taking race awards with dictionary.
awards = {1:"Blue",2:"Red",3:"Green",4:"Yellow",5:"Violet",6:"Purple"}

# loop for aksing user input repeatedly
while(place!=0):
#Asking the user for input
a = int(input("Please enter the place in which the participant finished (1, 2, 3, ...): "))
# if input is less than 0
if(a<=0):
#printing output error
print("Input Error - Place must be greater than 0")
# if input between 1 and 6 inclusive
elif(1<=a<=6):
# then print output using dictionary values
print("Participant Place : ",a)
print("Participant award: ",awards[a],"Ribbon")
else:
# greater than 6 will given participant award
print("Participant Place : ",a)
print("Participant award: Participant Ribbon")

Answer 2

Sure, here's a Python program named distribute_race_awards_with_dictionary that performs a simple lookup using a dictionary based on the integer input provided by the user:

pythonCopy codedef distribute_race_awards_with_dictionary():
    awards = {        1: "Blue Ribbon",        2: "Red Ribbon",        3: "White Ribbon",        4: "Green Ribbon",        5: "Yellow Ribbon",        6: "Purple Ribbon",        7: "Participant Ribbon"
    }    while True:        try:
            place = int(input("Please enter the place in which the participant finished (1, 2, 3, ...): "))            if place <= 0:                print("Participant place: ", place)                print("Participant award: Input Error - Place must be greater than 0")            else:                print("Participant place: ", place)                print("Participant award: ", awards.get(place, "Participant Ribbon"))            break
        except ValueError:            print("Invalid input. Please enter a valid integer.")if __name__ == "__main__":
    distribute_race_awards_with_dictionary()

When you run this program, it will prompt you to enter the place in which the participant finished. Based on the input, the program will look up the corresponding award from the dictionary and display it on the console. If the input is not a positive integer, it will show an error message. The program will keep asking for input until a valid place is provided.
