Question

) Perform error checking for the data point entries. If any of the following errors occurs, output the appropriate error message and prompt again for a valid data point. If entry has no comma Output: Error: No comma in string. (1 pt) If entry has more than one comma Output: Error: Too many commas in input. (1 pt) If entry after the comma is not an integer Output: Error: Comma not followed by an integer. (2 pts)

Answer 1

Answer:

In Python:

entry = input("Sentence: ")

while True:

   if entry.count(",") == 0:

       print("Error: No comma in string")

       entry = input("Sentence: ")

   elif entry.count(",") > 1:

       print("Error: Too many comma in input")

       entry = input("Sentence: ")

   else:

       ind = entry.index(',')+1

       if entry[ind].isnumeric() == False:

           print("Comma not followed by an integer")

           entry = input("Sentence: ")

       else:

           break

print("Valid Input")

Explanation:

This prompts the user for a sentence

entry = input("Sentence: ")

The following loop is repeated until the user enters a valid entry

while True:

This is executed if the number of commas is 0

   if entry.count(",") == 0:

       print("Error: No comma in string")

       entry = input("Sentence: ")

This is executed if the number of commas is more than 1

   elif entry.count(",") > 1:

       print("Error: Too many comma in input")

       entry = input("Sentence: ")

This is executed if the number of commas is 1

   else:

This calculates the next index after the comma

       ind = entry.index(',')+1

This checks if the character after the comma is a number

       if entry[ind].isnumeric() == False:

If it is not a number, the print statement is executed

           print("Comma not followed by an integer")

           entry = input("Sentence: ")

If otherwise, the loop is exited

       else:

           break

This prints valid input, when the user enters a valid string

print("Valid Input")

Note that: entry = input("Sentence: ") is used to get input
