Assignment Title: Python Summative Assessment Weighting: 60%

Assessment Type: Practical

Purpose
To demonstrate your ability to:
 Show understanding of how data is stored and presented using Unicode.
 Create a program that uses iteration (loops) and branching (conditional statements)
 Create a program that uses functions
 Provide evidence of testing and modification of code as a result of testing.

Task Description

Assessment Overview

Students are to use Repl to create Python programs with 15 points. Students can select which activities they wish to complete
from each table, following the criteria outlined above each table.

For each activity, using a #, you need to add comments explaining what each line of code does. Each comment will be worth 1
mark each.

Paste the Replit join link for each activity and a copy of your code into the last column.

Note: Every example must use a different variable name and input prompt.
You cannot ask the user for their name or use the example provided

Example of adding comments to your code:

Table 1: Complete both activities in the table below.

Points Value Task Example Output Link to replit file and copy of code
1 point Write a simple print command

2 points Write a program that:

1. prompts the user for some input
2. prints the input to the screen

Table 2: Complete 2 of the activities below.

Points Value Task Example Output Link to replit file and copy of code
3 points Write a program that:
1. asks the user for a letter
2. converts the letter into its number equivalent
3. prints the number to the screen

3 points Write a program that:

1. asks the user for a word (colour, fruit, food)
2. Print the word one letter per line.

3 points Write a program that:

1. asks the user for a character
2. converts it to its ASCII form
3. prints the ASCII value to the screen

3 points Write a program that:

1. prints an emoji to the screen

Use the ‘Dec’ value

4 points Write a program that:
1. asks the user for a word (colour, fruit, food)
2. converts the letter into its number equivalent
3. Print the numbers one number per line.

4 points Write a program that:

1. prompts the user for a sentence
2. converts the letters to their ASCII form
3. Print the numbers one number per line.

Table 4: Complete 1 of the activities below.

5 points Write a program that:
1. prompts the user for a number
2. converts the number into a character
3. Print the output to the screen.

5 points Functions
Write a program that:
1. uses a function to multiply 3 numbers together
2. prints the output to the screen

Table 5: OR complete this activity only:

Points Value Task Example Output Link to replit file and copy of code
15 points Write a program that:
1. prompts the user for a mobile phone number and a key
2. encrypts that number using the key

It would be best if you used functions to complete this task.

To get started you need to:

 go to Grok – Rotating past ‘a’
 copy the code from the 3 files into your replit
o program.py, crypto.py, functions.py
 you need to work out the correct order in these 3
pieces of code to go in
 run it – fix errors
 you will then have something that works with
encrypting letters – it needs to encrypt numbers
