LEARNING TARGET:

ROOKIES:

I will be able to complete a brief program that allows a user to add a name to an existing list.

I will begin working on adding code to that program that allows a user to see if a word exists in a list, and if it does, prompts the user to delete (or NOT!) that word from the list.

SENSEIS:

I will finish working on a program that allows my user to add, delete or check to see if a word exists in a list.

I will begin working on an option to that program that allows a user to select whether they want the list sorted alphabetically from A - Z or from Z to A.

WORK O' THE DAY:

We talked at length yesterday about moving through a list -- a process that is called 'iterating' through a list or just plain 'iteration'

═══════════════════════════

Notice how similar that is to Code A above:

═══════════════════════════

HERE is the code for both A and B.

Be sure and make a copy of that AND Save it.

Now please use Code A as a basis for writing a program that allows a user to type a planet, check to see if it is there and then either:

• adds it if it is absent
• deletes it if it is present

there is a quicker and easier way to do that, but I want you to practice 'iterating' which is to say 'stepping' through the list with code and examining each element of that array in turn.

Senseis:

Please work on asking your user to enter a planet name. Prompt them to enter a planet until all 8 planet names are successfully entered.

Duplicates are not allowed. That means that Mars, MARS, mars are not allowed. Only one entry for any form of Mars is allowed.

Once all 8 planet names are entered, then prompt the user if they want to quit or if they want to sort the list the list from A - Z or sort the list from Z - A.
