Deaf Grandma

This small challenge comes from Chris Pine's "Learn to Program". Ensure that you read everything and click every link before starting the work.

Premise

Write a program which can imitate a Grandma who's hard of hearing and follows these constraints:

  • If you don't input anything (just hit enter) she responds with WHAT?!

  • If you ask a question with any lower-case letters, she responds with SPEAK UP, KID!

  • If you talk to her in all upper-case letters, she responds with NO, NOT SINCE 1946!

  • The first time you say GOODBYE! she says LEAVING SO SOON?

  • The second time you say GOODBYE! she says LATER, SKATER! and the program exits.

Example

HEY KID!
> hi, grandma
SPEAK UP, KID!
> I SAID HI, GRANDMA
NO, NOT SINCE 1946!
>
WHAT?!
> Goodbye!
SPEAK UP, KID!
> GOODBYE!
LEAVING SO SOON?
> GOODBYE!
LATER, SKATER!

Considerations (Python)

  • In your code you'll definitely need to use if and likely an elif and else.
  • Also remember that input() is the "inverse" method of print() -- while print() outputs information to the terminal, input('command Prompt') captures information from the user by presenting a command prompt and allowing them to type input.
  • If you have an infinite loop, how might you break out of it?

Considerations (Javascript)

  • Just a heads up: this is extraordinarily difficult to do in JS
  • In your code you'll definitely need to use if and likely an else if and else.
  • Will you need prompt or prompt? Google it!

Challenge Yourself

For a little extra fun, try refactoring your code to use regular expressions.
