Program 6 can be completed using content from the following chapters:

o Welcome! through Data Types - Sets

Requirements (remember to identify the requirements by number):

Create a file using PyCharm.

Name the source file program_6.py.

Format code like the examples.

Include comments in your code like the examples.

Code the requirements in the numbered list below.

Output a header in the console: This is Program 6

Requirements to be numbered in program_6.py:

Write a program for a Honda regional office manager. Note: There is no data

hard-coded in the program except for the two tuples. All data is entered by the

user. See the code example at the end of this document.

1. Print This program practices working with lists, strings, tuples, and

dictionaries.

2. Create two tuples - one for two weeks named Week One and Week Two

and one for three days of the week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday).

3. Use a loop to record the first name and last name of sales people in one

string (e.g. Bill Simms) and the name of the dealership where they work

in another string (e.g. Hero Honda).

4. In each iteration of the loop, create a dictionary entry for the salesperson

data entered where the name is the key and the dealership is the value.

5. After the dictionary has been populated, create two nested loops to process

sales data.

6. The outer loop uses the weeks tuple and the inner loop uses the days tuple.

7. In the inner loop, ask the user to enter the number of cars sold by

salesperson (display the salespersons name to the user). Store the users

response in a list of sales data. For each salesperson, there should be six

entries in the list.

8. Use a loop to have the user populate a list of 20 customer compliments.

Why 20? It is just a number for testing. Include sales rep names in each of

the compliments.

9. Use nested loops to process the customer compliments. The outer loop

cycles through the sales reps and the inner loop cycles through the

compliments. Use a sequence operation to search for each sales reps name

in each of the compliments.

For instance, the outer loop is set to the first sales rep. The inner loop

searches for the sales reps name (the key in the dictionary) in compliment

one, then compliment two, etc. Record the number of compliments

associated with each sales rep.

More on the compliments section:

- User enters a compliment

- The compliments include the sales rep names

- After collecting all compliments

- Will need nested loops (outside loop for each sales rep; inner loop for each compliment)

- Search for the name of each sales rep in each compliment

- Count the number of times you find a compliment for each sales rep

At the end of the program, produce output like that below for each of the sales

reps processed.

10. All data is based on user entry (except tuples). Sample output:

Bill Simms of Hero Honda

Cars Sold

Week One

Thursday: 3

Friday: 4

Saturday: 7

Week Two

Thursday: 5

Friday: 8

Saturday: 9

Total Cars Sold (per rep): _____

Average Cars Sold (per rep): _____

Number of Compliments (per rep): ____

11. Print a statement explaining your experiences with Program 6.

There should be a report like

that shown at the END of the

program that displays sales

data for each of the sales reps.

TEST TEST TEST your application to ensure the specific program

requirements are met.

Use the list above and the common requirements as a confirmation

checklist.

Not meeting all requirements = 0 points for the assignment.

Note: This is NOT the solution. However, it should be VERY helpful if you have

questions about how to implement program_6.
