== The Problem ==


At a prestigious international school, we have only 5 administrators, Michael, Carol, Jen,  Constance and TJ. Your program should ask the user to type in their name. If their name matches one of our administrators, your program must output a special greeting. If the user input is any other name (does not match the list of administrators) your program should simply output a simple greeting.
This problem set has four different parts.We are starting simple and working our way up to more complexity.


There is no testing for user input. That is, if a user enters a number, an integer, or nothing, your program should not evaluate the input.
=== Part 1 ===


== Unit Tests ==
# An ant is a little insect that generally isn't very cute and likes to eat things.
# An ant has a boolean state named '''life''': alive or dead
# An ant has a boolean state named '''mode''' : looking for food, bringing food to nest


* '''User Input:''' Name: Bill
Create this model in python using a dictionary data type.
* '''Expected output:''' Hello Bill


* '''User Input:''' Name: TJ
* '''Expected output:''' An administrator! Hello TJ
* '''User Input:''' Name: 123
* '''Expected output:''' Hello 123

In the hacker version:
* Your program should test for valid user input. The user input should be only allow for strings

This a problem set for you to work through [1]

This is a problem set. Some of these are easy, others are far more difficult. The purpose of these problems sets are:

  1. to build your skill applying computational thinking to a problem
  2. to assess your knowledge and skills of different programming practices


What is this problem set trying to do[edit]

This problem set is linked to modeling and Simulation. We are applying our knowledge and understanding of dictionaries, conditionals, computational thinking & problem-solving and iteration.

The Problem[edit]

This problem set has four different parts.We are starting simple and working our way up to more complexity.

Part 1[edit]

  1. An ant is a little insect that generally isn't very cute and likes to eat things.
  2. An ant has a boolean state named life: alive or dead
  3. An ant has a boolean state named mode : looking for food, bringing food to nest

Create this model in python using a dictionary data type.


How you will be assessed[edit]

Your solution will be graded using the following axis:


Scope

  • To what extent does your code implement the features required by our specification?
  • To what extent is there evidence of effort?

Correctness

  • To what extent did your code meet specifications?
  • To what extent did your code meet unit tests?
  • To what extent is your code free of bugs?

Design

  • To what extent is your code written well (i.e. clearly, efficiently, elegantly, and/or logically)?
  • To what extent is your code eliminating repetition?
  • To what extent is your code using functions appropriately?

Style

  • To what extent is your code readable?
  • To what extent is your code commented?
  • To what extent are your variables well named?
  • To what extent do you adhere to style guide?

not yet!

Give a specific name, value or other brief answer without explanation or calculation.

Consider the merits or otherwise of an argument or concept. Opinions and conclusions should be presented clearly and supported with appropriate evidence and sound argument.

Produce a plan, simulation or model.
