Python has many useful language features, built-in modules, and built-in functio

Python has many useful language features, built-in modules, and built-in functions that easily let a programmer perform a variety of tasks. However, due to the introductory nature of this course, you are not permitted to use any Python construct, built-in module, or third-party library that is not explicitly covered in the textbook and lecture slides.
You are also not permitted to use anything that has not yet been covered in lecture. Using a built-in function or functionality to solve a problem by having Python do the work for you does not show that you have mastered the concepts behind it, and hence does not fulfill the assignment. If we do not show you how to use it in class, you can assume that it is off limits.
Using any version of format() other that the built-in function covered in class is not allowed. Using break, pass, or continue is not allowed in any of your code for this class. Using these statements damages the readability of your code. Readability is a quality necessary for easy code maintenance. Using of any of these will lead to an immediate deduction of points.
