Transcribed Image Text:Programming Assignment 4: Focus on function arguments, return values, modules
The FiveTwelve Construction Company has asked you to implement a computer program
to determine the number of cans of paint, along with the cost, to paint a room of a given
size with a given color. You will write this program using a main () and several functions.
The functions will be organized into two modules.
The available colors and their cost per can are:
Color
Cost/can $3.68
Blue
$3.69
Eggshell
$4.25
Green
Red
White
Custom
$4.25
$3.25
$6.00
First function: This function will prompt the user for a room dimension value as input
and return it. The function should be passed one argument, a string which identifies
which dimension is to be entered ('length', 'width', `height'). The function should
perform basic input validation before returning the value. The dimensions width and
length will be between 4.5 and 30 feet, height between 6.5 and 16 feet. Notice that the
function will be called three times by main(), once for each dimension.
Second function: This function will prompt the user for the color to be used and return
the value. The color should be limited to one of the available ones. While the user
should be presented with the names of the colors, they should be shown along with
abbreviations that are easier to enter, for example Green (G), Red (R), etc. The
abbreviations will be the coded value that the function returns.
Third function: This function should compute and return the number of cans of paint
needed for the job. The three dimensions will be passed as arguments and the function
will calculate the total surface are to be painted and then the number of cans required.
The returned value must be an integer, since the company can't buy fractional cans of
paint. Also, you cannot just convert from float to int because that will always truncate
the quantity. Use the math.ceil function.
The room has 4 walls and a ceiling to paint and is
rectangular. The floor will not be painted. Two walls
will have size height*length and two will have
height*width. The ceiling's size is length*width. One
can of paint covers 365 square feet of surface.
Jength
width
height
Fourth function: This function should compute and
return the total cost of paint for the room. It will
receive the number of cans of paint and the color
code (abbreviation) as arguments.
main(): will call the functions and print out the final cost for the user.
The first two functions should be stored in a module named fetch.py.
The third and fourth functions should be stored in a module named compute.py.
