This lesson’s Group Activities are:

Talk like a Pirate! In this activity you are to create an English to Pirate Translator. Users should input a phrase and your program should translate it into pirate speak. A few rules:

1. Certain words need to be converted:

• hello becomes ahoy
• hi becomes yo-ho-ho
• my becomes me
• friend becomes bucko
• sir becomes matey
• where becomes whar
• is becomes be
• the becomes th’
• there becomes thar
• you becomes ye
• anything which ends in -ing becomes -in’

2. You need to obey capitalization and punctuation: if the word is capitalized, then its translation should also be capitalized. If the sentence ends in a period, then the translation should end in a period. To keep punctuation simple, you can stick to coding for commas and periods, and ignore all the rest.

3. Pirates like the word “arr”. For fun, randomly insert it into your translation.

4. Remember to use all the tools in your arsenal, especially mainline logic, functions, loops, and error handling.

This lesson’s Group Activities are:

Write a program which prompts the user to enter a number, then generates that number of random integers and stores them in a list. It should then display the following data to back to the user:

• The list of integers
• The lowest number in the list
• The highest number in the list
• The total sum of all the numbers in the list
• The average number in the list
• At a minimum, the numbers should range from 0 to 50, but you can use any range you like.

Helpful hint: don’t forget about input validation loops. They are very useful when used in conjuction with functions.
