Attendance

Make a program that asks for the last name of the user. Depending on their last name, make a statement about how long they have to wait during roll call. You need to use elif’s to make sure only one statement gets printed.

Once you understand how comparing strings works using the comparison operators, this is a pretty straightforward assignment, much like How Old Are You, specifically, except that it uses strings instead of ints.

  • name is "Carswell" or before: say "you don't have to wait long"

  • name is "Jones" or before: say "that's not bad"

  • name is "Smith" or before: say "looks like a bit of a wait"

  • name is "Young" or before: say "it's gonna be a while"

  • name is after "Young": say "not going anywhere for a while?"

Name your file: 039_attendance.py

What's your last name? Stephanopolis
It's gonna be a while, "Stephanopolis".
