| Help with Python please?
Ask the user to enter three names. Print the names in alphabetical order.
This is what I got so far.. sort of. Not working though. :/
name1 = raw_input ("Enter a name:")
name2 = raw_input ("Enter a second name:")
name3 = raw_input ("Enter a third name:")
if name1 < name2:
....if name1 < name3:
........print name1
....elif name3 < name2:
........print name3
elif name2 < name3:
....print name2
....if name2 < name1:
.......print name2
else:
....print name3
Ask the user to enter a percentage, between 0 and 100. Tell them what letter grade this corresponds to, with an A between 100 and 85, a B between 84 and 70, a C between 69 and 60, a D between 59 and 50 and an F below 50.
This one I'm having more trouble understanding/charting out.
percentage = raw_input ("Enter a percent between 0-100:")
if percentage <50:
....print ""+ percentage +"% is equal to an F"
........if percentage >=50:
............print ""+ percentage +"% is equal to a D"
........elif percentage >=60:
............print ""+ percentage +"% is equal to a C"
........elif percentage >=70:
............print ""+ percentage +"% is equal to a B"
else:
....print ""+ percentage +"% is equal to a A"

put it in an array and order it for the first one (that way you can have infinite number of names). OR beginner way (wayyyyyy more code)
if name1 > name2:
if name1 > name3:
print name1
if name2 > name3:
print name2 + "\n" + name3;
else
print name3 + "\n" + name2;
else
print name3 + "\n" + name1 + "\n" + name2
..... then elif to see if the scenario is that another one is bigger
As for the second one you can use "case" or if you want to do it the long way "ifs" do work. just do it this way
percentage = raw_input ("Enter a percent between 0-100:")
if percentage >= 80:
print percentage +"% is equal to an A"
elif percentage >= 70:
print percentage +"% is equal to a B"
elif percentage >=60:
print percentage +"% is equal to a C"
elif percentage >=50:
print percentage +"% is equal to a D"
else:
print percentage +"% is equal to a F"

| You're going to want to limit the user input between going below 0 or above 100.
To do that you may want to use a while statement Code:
getgrade = 1;
while getgrade==1:
percentage = raw_input("Enter your grade between 0-100")
if (percentage > 100 or percentage < 0):
getgrade = 1;
else:
getgrade = 0;
runcode = 1;
while runcode == 1:
if percentage < 50:
print "You got an F for your percentage of " + percentage;
runcode = 0;
elif percentage < 59:
print "You got an D for your percentage of " + percentage;
runcode = 0;
elif percentage < 69:
print "You got a C for your percentage of " + percentage;
runcode = 0;
elif percentage < 84:
print "You got a B for your percentage of " + percentage;
runcode = 0;
elif percentage < 100:
print "You got a A for your percentage of " + percentage;
runcode = 0; Because you're working up from 0 you're going to end the code there so it doesn't print F, D, C, etc.
My python may be off, but hope it makes sense to you.

My python may be off, but hope it makes sense to you. | Thanks for the help, but I have no idea what the code of line that you put in means
(getgrade / run code line) nor have we covered it in class [CMPT165] haha.
Blaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

basically it terminates the program after it prints the statement, so it doesn't run through a series of the print statements...
but if you're not comfortable using it, don't.

all the code you require to finish the assignment is covered in his notes. I would be careful with the way you code your hw or else you might be bitch slapped by the prof, I've seen him ask students to explain their hw when he does not believe the student did the work
i would skip the getgrade = 1 and runcode = 1. you also dont require while loops for this hw Quote:

Anyways, figured out the second one. I was missing the int(), if I didn't have it in before it wouldn't do anything else after the first if.
percentage = int(raw_input("Enter a percent between 0-100:"))
if percentage >=85:
print percentage, "% is equal to a A"
elif percentage >=70:
print percentage, "% is equal to a B"
elif percentage >=60:
print percentage, "% is equal to a C"
elif percentage >=50:
print percentage, "% is equal to a D"
else:
print percentage, "% is equal to a F"
Still stuck on the first one. :/

The only one that will fuck it up will be BAC. I can't single out how to get that one to sort properly.
Anyways, fuck it, you know what?
The assignment is worth 1.25%.
