:I am in a bind here, and cannot for the life of me figure out what to do for this highly open-ended assignment. I need to write a python code, which utilized nested loops, and my instructors says that a "validation loop" cannot count as one of them. Some general instructions for thise wide-open assignment are as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------

" it is very important that you be very descriptive in the comments at the beginning of your program, explaining what your program does. Also important: good "paragraph" style comments, good variable naming (camelCase), and use of NAMED_CONSTANTS (not having "magic numbers" in your program). Good programming style is required in order to receive full credit. "

--------------------------------------------------------

Please spare me any lectures on cheating or not doing my work, because I can do every other assignment before this and I did them well, but I am struggling to even think of a code to even begin working on this one. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I want to have the user re-enter a different "myNumber" input variable, until they enter an int between, and including, 1 through 6. Basically, numerical inputs in this range only, so letters, symbols, and no input at all will need to return an error and let the user re-try.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Programmer Name: Mike McDermott

#

# Program which asks the user how many times to roll 6-sided die

# User will input a number from 1 to 6

# User gets a point if his number is rolled

#

# Date: 02/12/2014

import random

DICE_ROLLS = 0

GAME_SCORE = 0

# welcome the user

print("It's time to roll some SIX-SIDED dice!")

# ask user for name

myName = input("Hello! What is your name? ")

# ask user for number of times to run program

numRolls = input("Well, " + myName + ", how many times will you roll the dice? ")

numRolls = int(numRolls)

# initiate the loop of dice rolls

while DICE_ROLLS < numRolls:

roll = random.randint(1,6)

myNumber = input("Pick a number from 1 to 6: ")

myNumber = int(myNumber)

while myNumber<1 or myNumber>6:

print("-------------------------")

myNumber = input("Please enter a number between 1 and 6: ")

myNumber = int(myNumber)

if myNumber == roll:

print()

print("The die landed on your number, so you get a point.")

GAME_SCORE = GAME_SCORE + 1

DICE_ROLLS = DICE_ROLLS + 1

print("Score: " + str(GAME_SCORE))

print("-------------------------")

else:

print()

print("Sorry, the die did not land on your number.")

DICE_ROLLS = DICE_ROLLS + 1

print("Score: " + str(GAME_SCORE))

print("-------------------------")

# calculate which message to display

luckyRoller = DICE_ROLLS - 1

luckyRoller = int(luckyRoller)

if GAME_SCORE==luckyRoller or GAME_SCORE>luckyRoller:

print("Lady luck is with you tonight!")

elif GAME_SCORE==0:

print("You are not very lucky!")

else:

print("You win some, you lose some!")

# display results of the game

print()

print("Final Score is " + str(GAME_SCORE) + "/" + str(DICE_ROLLS) + " correct guesses.")

print("Thanks for rolling my dice!")

print("-------------------------")

I need to finish the last part of my assignment in Access, before I can move on with the Excel portion. Cannot for the life of me figure this out, but I need to run a query to figure out gross profit for each type of tree. It seems like not all the trees in inventory were sold and so that is throwing me off.

I uploaded Access to Google Drive and a download link is available there, and below is a link to the instructions for this query. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Let's say in one month a retail store makes $14,000 and the next month it makes $11,500 in revenue. What is the percent change?

I am thinking about this in two ways, but not sure if both are equally applicable or even functionally sufficient.

#1

$11,500 - $14,000 = $-2,500

$-2,500 / $14,000 = -17.86%

translated as a 17.86% decrease in revenue

#2

($11,500 - $14,000) = $-2,500 -- numerator

(($11,500 + $14,000) / 2) = $12,750 -- denominator

$-2,500 / $12,750 = -19.61%

translated as 19.61% decrease from average revenues

The two methods are showing similar though distinguishable decreases in monthly revenues, but I am not sure if they can be used or if one if more for a different purpose than what I need. Can someone explain what approach is best for finding just the percent change in revenue, and also what the other one means and is used for?

I have an iPhone with various duplicate entries, as a result of syncing my contacts from various e-mail accounts setup with my device. I need to know IF AND HOW to update/add/remove any contacts just ONCE and then send out that list to every account I have? Any help is appreciated.

What are the differences in water consumption among the rich and poor? and what are two major causes.

I need a quick help on this one, its the last question on my review sheet to study for my midterm fastly approaching.

What are some common solutions proposed to prevent such a tragedy? What is problematic about the use of the term 'commons'?

Please help me, as this is the last question on this worksheet I am doing for an environmental science course and need help quick.

So I recently came up with something which a lot of thought has gone into--and a thesaurus, lol. I am interested in hearing not only whether you guys agree or not but anything you can add or critique about.

"Ignorance does not necessarily make for idiocy. Blind ignorance does not necessarily make for visionless. Unreceptive blind ignorance, however, can make for both idiocy and is visionless."

Thoughts? Constructive criticisms only please.

I am trying to figure the methodology behind computing the probability that a sample from the 1st data set is greater than a sample from another set. I am using Google spreadsheets, but can use excel if that's what is easier. I would need the formula and an explanation please!

Which gives rise to greater power over the weak minds of others?

I will be a fourth year student in the fall and am about 3 to 4 semesters from graduation. I attend Temple University and also have a minor in statistics. If I can maintain a 3.0+ GPA with almost all A's in my major and minor, then what are the chances the FBI or some other government agency will be interested in me? I am hoping to work in the field of forensic accounting just because of severe distaste for unethical behaviors of people who manipulate the system for their own gain. Do I have to have any law enforcement experience before they would look at me? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I understand this is a highly competitive market but I am willing to work as hard it calls for to fulfill my dream.

I cannot for the life of me figure out any of this question. Any advice or even answers are much appreciated. I am posting a link to an image of it because the question got messed up in the preview when I typed it. http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8290/taxexamqst...

So, I have this idea to create "Adolf Hitler" in the Fallout New Vegas game for the PS3. I will be siding with Caesar's Legion since they do things similar to what Hitler did during WWII. Has anyone tried recreating historic figures vefore because I would like to get some input on the build of this one.

I need ideas for the initial S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats, traits, skills to focus on, and if you think the Legion is the "best" choice for this type of character. Thanks.

I have done up to July 2, 2013, and this is where I have been having trouble for about 3 days now. I have looked in the book for explanations but all I figured out was that you need to DEBIT Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts and CREDIT Accounts Receivable. The amount is still unknown which is what I cannot find. Can some one help me here?

I have done everything I can think of to add/subtract different values from the company and bank's records and cannot seem to get the right answer when I click, "check my answer," on Connect. Does anyone know the answer and could give an explanation as to how I do this sort of problem? I'm interested in learning this, and the textbook is too dry to pick anything up in it. Thanks in advance.

So, we just sold the fifth of six puppies in my lab's litter, and we decided to keep the last one (girl). This puppy is 8 weeks old, and so jealous when you give attention to any other puppy but her (unlike the others were). She will not stop whining until you pick her up, and so maybe something like Misty would fit the personality. Anyone have any other suggestions for a husky/lab female 8 weeks? Here's a picture of her:

Hey guys, I just have an inquiry for those who have read any or all of the following texts:

Holy Bible, The Qur'an, The Epic of Gilgamesh, Confucius Analects, Sigmund Freud (Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis), and the Daodejing of Laozi.

What do these texts reveal about humanity in regards to the Self and Other, divinity, Unity, or anything else you can think of? I am interested to hear what many scholar-like readers here have extracted from these texts. The reason I ask is because I have just written my final thesis on the humanities and would like to see what everyone else thinks? Be creative. There are no wrong answers, unless you disagree with my thesis. Just kidding! :)
