Chapter 3, Problem 7PC
The Upper West View Yacht club sponsors sailboat races every weekend for its fleet of SuperGee sailboats, and wants to determine which boat is the winner out of every four races. The scoring system is simple: a boat finishing in first position (first place) receives 1 point; a boat in second place receives 2 points, and so on. At the end of four races, the boats are ranked in ascending order by number of points, so the boats with the lowest points win.
Your task is to write an application that lets the user input the finishing position for each of three boats for four races. The program will then display the total points for each boat. Here are some specific requirements:
- Validate all text boxes to make sure the user enters integer values.
- Use a StatusStrip with a label to display an error message. When the user corrects an error and clicks the Calculate button again, clear any existing error message.
- Set TabIndex properties so that the focus will move between input fields in a logical manner.
- Do not allow the user to maximize or resize the form.
Figure 3-62 shows a sample of the program as the user is entering all valid values. In any single race, no place value should appear twice, although you currently do not have the

Theater Ticket System: A small ten-seat theater has contracted you to build software which will reserve tickets. The theater has two rows of five seats each. Each row is referred to by number (1 or 2) and each seat in the row is referred to by letter (A, B, C, D, and E). When started, the program should ask the user for the row they prefer (row selection). If that row has no empty seats then the program should ask the user if they prefer the other row, if no then display a message stating the next show is tomorrow. Upon selecting a row, the program should present the user with a choice of available seats in the row. The user can then either choose a seat and print the ticket (in this case a simple message will suffice) or return to row selection. If a ticket is printed the program should return to row selection. The program terminates when all seats are reserved.

Serendipity Booksellers has a book club that awards points to its customers based on the number of books purchased each month. The points are awarded as follows:
If a customer purchases no books, he or she earns 0 points
If a customer purchases 1 through 5 books, he or she earns 5 points for each book.
If a customer purchases 6 through 10 books, he or she earns 10 points for each book.
If a customer purchases 11 or more books, he or she earns points equal to 20 points for each book.
(Use Python) Use the Design Recipe to write the function customer_rewards which consumes the number of books purchased, and returns the total points. Include a docstring!
Write 3 assert_equal statements to test your function.

To make sure that this route is viable, you need to know the distances between the adjacent cities in order to be able to travel this distance on a single tank of gasoline, (No one likes running out of gas.) but you only know distances to each city from your starting point. Input: Your program should read lines from standard input. Each line contains the list of cities and distances to them, comma delimited, from the starting point of your trip. You start your trip at point 0. The cities with their distances are separated by semicolon. Output: Print out the distance from the starting point to the nearest city, and the distances between two nearest cities separated by comma, in order they appear on the route. Test 1…arrow_forward
