CMP1902M Programming Fundamentals, Assignment, University of Lincoln

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this component a student will have demonstrated competence in the following areas:

• [LO1] Identify, select, and apply appropriate data structures and operators in common programming solutions
• [LO2] Implement control flow with decisions and loops using industry-informed programming practices and professional standards
• [LO3] Using appropriate knowledge of programming concepts, construct code segments and functions to perform input and output operations with error handling

Description of assessment task

This is Assessment 2 and is an individual assignment that consists of two tasks. Task 1 contributes 20% of the assessment mark and Task 2 contributes 80%. You can use the provided code as a template to help you begin the implementation of the tasks. Please see the Criterion Reference Grid for details of how tasks will be graded.

Task 1 (20%): Number Statistics

In this task, you are asked to write a Python3 script (task1.py) that:

• Prompts the user to input only positive integer numbers at the terminal (numbers with decimals, negative numbers or characters will not be accepted)
• Assign those numbers to a list and removes any duplicate numbers and informs the user of the removed duplicates
• Counts the number of unique numbers in the list.
• Calculates their product, range and variance
• Identifies the even and odd numbers from the list and stores them in separate lists. If the list of even numbers is empty, print a message saying "No even numbers were provided." If the list of odd numbers is empty, print a message saying "No odd numbers were provided."
• Prints all the above information at the terminal

Important: The script should start and end without problems. There should be no ‘crashing’ or ‘unhandled exceptions’ due to erroneous input. The use of any bult-in method that performs the above operations is not allowed. Importing of modules is also not allowed. The code must be commented, including header comments and in- line comments. Comments in the code should follow the PEP8 style. Consideration must be given to the naming convention of variables and function names.

Task 2 (80%): Variant of the Wordle game
Background: Wordle is a word-based game released in 2013 and gained significant popularity since then. In the original version, a user must guess a 5-letter word with six tries. You can play the game here. For this task you are expected to develop a variant of the game as described below

Task: For this task you will have to implement a python3 script (task2.py) with multiple functions and appropriate comments at the code following the PEP 8, that enables a player to play a variant of the Wordle game using only the terminal (graphical user interface is not required) as follows:
