All python labs in this and subsequent chapters are to be written using a loop that keeps the program running until told to stop.

learning objectives

repetition structures

"while" loops

"for" loops.

counters

accumulators

running totals, sentinel values

Instructions

pennies for pay

write a python program that will perform the following:

$-$first day will pay someone one $(1)$ penny

$-$second day will double the first day's pay

$-$third day will double the second day's pay

$-$fourth day will double the third day's pay

$-$continue this process for a specified number of days

$-$display the day count and each day's pay

the program will continue that process for the number of days specified by the user

after all the day's are displayed the program will display the total pay earned

the output will look something like the example below:

Enter the number of days to work: $9$

Day Pennies

$--------------------$

$1$ $$0\mathrm{.}01$

$2$ $$0\mathrm{.}02$

$3$ $$0\mathrm{.}04$

$4$ $$0\mathrm{.}08$

$5$ $$0\mathrm{.}16$

$6$ $$0\mathrm{.}32$

$7$ $$0\mathrm{.}64$

$8$ $$1\mathrm{.}28$

$9$ $$2\mathrm{.}56$

The total salary for $9$ days is: $$5\mathrm{.}11$
