Hey everyone,
Today’s problem actually consists of a potentially infinite number of problems! I’ve been learning some programming in my spare time, so I’ve written my first program using Python, a powerful high-level scripting language that can do several things. My first program is called “Gene’s Multiplication Tutor.” It simply picks random numbers for the user to multiply, lets the user pick the number of problems the user wants to do, and tells the user how many problems the user answered correctly. To download the program, click the following link:
The link will take you to a page that hosts the file. Click “Click here to start download..” and save it to the desired directory. After you have the file, you will need to open up a command prompt or terminal window, cd to the directory at which the file is located, and type in:
python mult3.py
at the prompt to start the program. Of course, you will need a python interpreter in order to run the program. The program will first ask you if you wish to proceed, and if you wish to proceed, it will ask you how many problems you wish to do. After inputing the number of problems you wish to do, the program will ask you the questions, and will tell you whether or not you got them right after each answer. After all the questions have been answered, the program will tell you how many you answered correctly, and then will return to the menu.
Here are some screenshots:
Access the program through the terminal window.
It looks like I missed one. Bummer!
Enjoy!
