4. 5. Complete the code below to implement the type of validation shown in the right-hand column.?
#Activity 3a
name = input ("Spell the number 5:")
if ( ):
print ("Invalid")
yearGroup = int (input ("Enter your year group: "))
if ( ):
print ("Invalid")
favourite = int ( input( "Enter your favourite subject: "))
if ( ):
print ("Invalid")
flavour = input ("Enter C for chocolate or V for vanilla: ")
if ( ):
print ("Invalid")
choice = input ("Enter 'yes' or 'no': ")
if ( ):
print ("Invalid")

Code Type Validation

name.isdigit() == True

(yearGroup<1 or yearGroup >

13)

favourite.isdigit == True

flavour != "C" and flavour !=

"V"

choice != "yes" and

flchoiceavour != "no"

6. 7. Copy the code and put it into the correct order to implement validation.
print (theMenu)
print (theMenu)
print ("Please choose from the menu.")
while theChoice not in theOptions:
theOptions = ["C", "V", "S", "Q"]
theChoice = input ("Choice: ")
theChoice = ""
 theChoice = input ("Choose a flavour: ")
theMenu = ("Choose a flavour from the menu: ") +
"\nC Chocolate" +
"\nV Vanilla" +
"\nS Strawberry" +
"\nQ Quit")

theMenu = ("Choose a flavour from the menu: " +

"\nC Chocolate" +
"\nV Vanilla" +
"\nS Strawberry" +
"\nQ Quit")
theChoice = ""
theOptions = ["C", "V", "S", "Q"]
Code
print (theMenu)
print ("Please choose from the menu.")
theChoice = input ("Choice: ")

while theChoice not in theOptions:

print (theMenu)
theChoice = input ("Choose a flavour: ")
theMenu = ("Choose a flavour from the menu: " +
"\nC Chocolate" +
"\nV Vanilla" +
"\nS Strawberry" +
"\nQ Quit")
theChoice = ""
theOptions = ["C", "V", "S", "Q"]
Ordered
print (theMenu)
print ("Please choose from the menu.")
theChoice = input ("Choice: ")

while theChoice not in theOptions:

print (theMenu)
theChoice = input ("Choose a flavour: ")

8. 9. Cope the program below into your development environment, save it as “Activity3c Finished” and complete the
code to implement validation
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# Global variables
# ------------------------------------------------------------
colour = ""
teenager = 0
userThere = ""
sweet = 0
choice = ""
sweetOptions = ["1", "2", "3"]
 # ------------------------------------------------------------
# Main program
# ------------------------------------------------------------
colour = input ("What colour is grass, normally? ")
# =====> Complete the length check

teenager = int (input ("How old is a teenager? "))

# =====> Complete the range check

userThere = input ("Are you there? ")

# =====> Complete the presence check using length

sweet = input("Enter 1 for cake, 2 for jelly, or 3 for fruit: ")

# =====> Complete the lookup check

sweet = input("Enter 1 for cake, 2 for jelly, or 3 for fruit: ")

# =====> Complete the lookup check using 'not in'

choice = input ("Enter YES or NO: ")

# =====> Complete the presence check

Copy and paste the finished code in the space below
