Reference no: EM13905032

Choose a topic related to programming or scripting that is of interest to you, and complete one or more web-based tutorials on the topic. Then, based on what you learned, expand on one of the tutorial projects or create something of your own.

In Canvas, submit a document that includes the following:

1. The topic you chose should be according to textbook (Think Python: How to think like a Computer Scientist.)
2. Subject should include one tutorial from each subject below (choose only 3).
3. The titles and URLs of the tutorials you completed
4. 1-2 paragraphs summarizing what you learned from the tutorials
5. 1-2 paragraphs describing your modifications to the tutorial, or what you created
6. Screen shots of the final project

Some possible topics and tutorials are below, but there are gazillions of others. You will have all of class time Tuesday and Thursday to work on this. Have fun!

IT 102: Assignment Tech Dictionary

Create a program that allows a user to look up terms in a tech dictionary.

The program should prompt the user for a term, search a text file for matches, and then display the matches. The text file, dictionary.txt, can be downloaded from Canvas. Take a look at the text file to determine what delimiter is used.

Specifications:

• The search should be case-insensitive. Whether the user types "graphics" or "Graphics" or "GRAPHICS," the results should be the same.

• The program should look for all dictionary entries that contain the search term. Note: you are only searching the terms, not the definitions. For example, the search term "graphics" should display every dictionary entry that contains "graphics." There are two:

o AGP (accelerated or advanced graphics port)
o JPEG (Joint Photographics Experts Group)

• Format your results so that the dictionary term is in all upper case, followed by a colon and a space, followed by the definition. See the example output shown below.

• If the search term is not found in the dictionary, display a message.

• Make sure you have a comment header with your name, the date, the file name, and a program description. Include line comments, where appropriate.

Challenge: After displaying the search results, prompt the user to enter another term. Continue until the user enters "Q" to quit.
