Lab 2: Calendar Module

Logistics

• Due: Tuesday, September 5th no later than 11:59 p.m.
• Partner Information: Complete this assignment individually.
• Submission Instructions: Upload your solution, renamed to YourFirstName-YourLastName-Lab2.py to the BrightSpace Lab 2 Dropbox.
• Deadline Reminder: Once this deadline passes, BrightSpace will no longer accept your Python submission and you will no longer be able to earn credit. Thus, if you are not able to fully complete the assignment, submit whatever you have before the deadline so that partial credit can be earned.

Learning Outcomes

• Gain experience using the Python calendar module.

Assignment

• Use the calendar module to write a program that asks the user when they were born and then uses that information to produce this output. In the transcript, the user was born on October 15, 2004 but make sure your program works for any valid date.

Grading - 10 points

• 1 point. For any valid input, the person's birthday day number (e.g. 4 in the sample output) is identified correctly.
• 1 point. For any valid input, the person's birth year is correctly identified as a leap year (or not) with the word True (or False).
• 1 point. The birth month calendar where Monday is the leftmost day is printed correctly.
• 1 point. The birth month calendar where Sunday is the leftmost day is printed correctly.
• 2 points. The leap years from the person's birth year through 2023 are all correctly printed.
• 2 points. The program runs without any errors.
• 2 points. The output format is matched exactly. For each type of difference, 1 point will be lost.

If Time Remains

If you want to work with a partner on Program 1 (due 9/15), use this time to identify a partner or ask your lab TA to help you find someone. Note: For the vast majority of computing jobs and internships, the ability to work with one or more teammates is a crucial skill!
