Hi, there was this two step program I was working on but i can only
complete
the first step.
- - Write a Who's Your Daddy? program that lets the user enter the name of
the male and produces the name of his father. Allow the user to add,
replace, and delete father son pairs. The program should also allow the
user
to get a list of all son, fathers, or father son pairs.
I made a dictionary:
family = { "Wane Wilright" : "Dan Wilright",
"Michal Zheng" : "Tsu Zheng",
"Art Core" : "Vandalee Core",
"John Wane" : "Calvin Wane" }
and was able to complete the rest of the program.
Then I was asked to improve the program:
- - Improve the Who's Your Daddy program by adding a choice that lets the
user enter a name and get back a grandfather. Your program should still
use
one dictionary of son-father pairs. Make sure to include several
generatios
in your dictionary so that a match can be found.
I don't understand, dictionarys only allow two elements so how can you
include several generations in the dictinoary... could you perhaps put a
dictinoary inside a dictionary? I don't understand how you would do the
second part.
Hopefully this will make sense to you as I don't want to give the whole game
away.
A grandfather is just a father's father. If you don't get it still then I'll
make it a bit
more obvious.
HTH,
Adam.
