I’m studying for my Python class and need an explanation.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Given a list of animals and their point value, create a
simple guessing game, with the added possibility of expanding the given
initial list.
• DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:
o Think of a list of 10 animals and assign to each of them a numerical
value between 1 and 10, assigning low values to very common
animals (say 1 point for a cat or a dog) and higher values to less
common, more exotic animals (say 5 points for a zebra and 10 points
for a giant squid).
o Create two lists, one with the names of the animals and one with the
corresponding values, in corresponding positions.
o Ask the user to guess one of the 10 animals you have in your list:
If the user guesses one of the 10 animals in your list, let the
user know the amount of points that her/his animal is worth.
If the user enters a new animal (one that is currently not in
your list), let the user know that s/he contributed a new
animal to the game and ask the user for the point-value of the
new animal, explaining that rare animals are worth more than
common ones. Then add the animal contributed by the user to
the end of the animals list and add the corresponding value to
the end of the list of values.
• In any case (whether the suggested animal was already in the list or not)
conclude by showing the entire list of animals to the user, telling the user
the total (sum) of points that the list of animals is worth, and saying
goodbye to the user.
