Days and numbers
Instructions
Create a file custom_calendar.py which will have 2 functions:
day_from_number(day_number)day_to_number(day)
Those functions perform conversion between day index and day word:
- 1 = Monday
- 2 = Tuesday
- 3 = Wednesday
- 4 = Thursday
- 5 = Friday
- 6 = Saturday
- 7 = Sunday
You should return None if the input is invalid (invalid number or day string).
Usage
Here is a possible test.py to test your functions:
import custom_calendar
print(custom_calendar.day_from_number(2))
print(custom_calendar.day_from_number(1))
print(custom_calendar.day_from_number(1000))
print(custom_calendar.day_to_number('Sunday'))
print(custom_calendar.day_to_number('invalid day'))
$ python test.py
Tuesday
Monday
None
7
None
$
Hints
Dictionaries:
A dictionary is a data type similar to arrays, but works with keys and values instead of indexes. Each value stored in a dictionary can be accessed using a key, which is any type of object (a string, a number, a list, etc.) instead of using its index to address it.
For example, a database of phone numbers could be stored using a dictionary like this:
phonebook = {}
phonebook["John"] = 938477566
phonebook["Jack"] = 938377264
phonebook["Jill"] = 947662781
print(phonebook)
output:
{'John': 938477566, 'Jack': 938377264, 'Jill': 947662781}
Alternatively, a dictionary can be initialized with the same values in the following notation:
phonebook = {
"John" : 938477566,
"Jack" : 938377264,
"Jill" : 947662781
}
print(phonebook)
Dictionaries can be iterated over, just like a list. To iterate over key value pairs, use the following syntax:
phonebook = {"John": 938477566, "Jack": 938377264, "Jill": 947662781}
for name, number in phonebook.items():
print("Phone number of %s is %d" % (name, number))
output:
Phone number of John is 938477566
Phone number of Jack is 938377264
Phone number of Jill is 947662781
