Answer:
The modified program in Python is as follows:
import math
paint_colors = {'red': 35,'blue': 25,'green': 23}
wall_height = int(input('Enter wall height (feet):\n'))
wall_width = int(input('Enter wall width (feet):\n'))
area = wall_height*wall_width
print('Wall area:',area,'square feet')
paint_needed = area/350.0
print('Paint needed: {:.2f} gallons'.format(paint_needed))
print('Cans needed:',round(paint_needed),'can(s)')
color = input("Choose a color to paint the wall: ")
print("Cost of purchasing", color, "paint: $",paint_colors[color])
Explanation:
The italicized are given from the question [unchanged]
<em>import math</em>
<em>
paint_colors = {'red': 35,'blue': 25,'green': 23}
</em>
<em>wall_height = int(input('Enter wall height (feet):\n'))
</em>
This gets input for width
wall_width = int(input('Enter wall width (feet):\n'))
Calculate the wall area
area = wall_height*wall_width
Print the calculated wall area
print('Wall area:',area,'square feet')
Calculate the amount of paint needed
paint_needed = area/350.0
Print the amount of paint needed to 2 decimal places
print('Paint needed: {:.2f} gallons'.format(paint_needed))
Print the amount of can needed to nearest integer
print('Cans needed:',round(paint_needed),'can(s)')
Prompt user for color of paint [here, we assume the user input is correct]
color = input("Choose a color to paint the wall: ")
Prints the corresponding amount for the color
print("Cost of purchasing", color, "paint: $",paint_colors[color])
