What You Need to Do

• Create the script hw4.py
• Make sure it obeys the rules in Rules for Homework Scripts
• Move it to an an hw4 directory on pe15.cs.umb.edu

Setup On Your Machine

• Open a text editor.
  I would suggest the text editor built into the program IDLE.
• Save the file as hw4.py

Specification

• Write a script that will turn a number read off a machine into a letter quality grade
• The script will ask the user to enter the machine's reading
• The script will turn that reading into a letter grade
• And print that grade
• The quality grades are given by the following table

  Score Range	Quality Grade
  88 or above	A
  87 to 76	B
  75 to 62	C
  61 to 48	D
  47 or below	F

Output

• The output should look something like this

  Score: 65
  C

• The text in blue is what the user enters

Suggestions

• Write this script in stages
• Test your script at each step
• Print the steps below
• And check them off as you finish each one

1. Write an assignment statement using the input function that asks the user for the score and gives this value to the variable score.
   Convert this value to an integer.
   Print the value.
   Run the script.
   Fix any errors you find.
2. Remove the print statement you wrote in the previous step.
   Replace it with an if statement that will run if the value of score 88 or more.
   Inside this if clause, assign grade the value "A".
   Outside this if statement, print the value of grade.
   Run the script.
   Fix any errors you find.
3. Add an elif clause under the if statement that will run if the value of score is greater than or equal to 76.
   Inside this clause set the value of grade to "B".
   Run the script.
   Fix any errors you find.
4. Repeat the above step for the grades "C" and "D".
5. Add an else clause that sets the value of grade to "F".
   Run the script.
   Fix any errors you find.

Testing on Your Machine

• Open IDLE
• Use the Open command in IDLE to open hw4.py
• Run your script inside IDLE
• Your output should look something like this

  Score: 65
  C

• The text in blue is what you enter at the command line
• You should test your script with the following values to make sure your script works for all grades

  88
  87
  76
  75
  62
  61
  48
  47

Copy the Script to Unix

• Open FileZilla and connect to pe15.cs.umb.edu
• Go to your it116 directory
• Go to your hw directory
• Right-click in the whitespace inside the hw directory
• Enter hw4 in the dialog box
• Click and drag your script from the bottom left panel to the bottom right panel

Testing the Script on Unix (Optional)

• Connect to pe15.cs.umb.edu using an ssh client like putty.exe (Windows) or ssh (Mac)
• Go to the directory for this exercise

  cd  it116/hw/hw4

• Run this script

  python3 hw4.py

• You should see something like this

  Score: 65
  C

• The text in blue is what you enter at the command line
