Question

Write a program that asks the user for a number in the range of 1 through 7. The program should display the corresponding day of the week, where 1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, 3 = Wednesday, 4 = Thursday, 5 = Friday, 6 = Saturday, and 7 = Sunday. The program should display an error message if the user enters a number that is outside the range of 1 through 7. g

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The result structure that we are to use to arrange this program needs to have the ability to differentiate paths depending on way of 8 different inputs that is given (one for every day of the week and another one incase the input is outside the range it's supposed to be in). A group of nested “if” statements should work but would be horribly complicated in looking. A much more innovative approach is to use an if - elif - else structure:

user_input = input('Enter a number: ')

if user_input == '1':

    print(user_input, '= Monday')

elif user_input == '2':

    print(user_input, '= Tuesday')

elif user_input == '3':

    print(user_input, '= Wednesday')

elif user_input == '4':

    print(user_input, '= Thursday')

elif user_input==  '5':

    print(user_input, '= Friday')

elif user_input==  '6':

    print(user_input, '=Saturday')

elif user_input == '7':

    print(user_input, '=Sunday')

else:

    print('Error: That number doesn\'t correspond to a day of the week.')
