Assignment and Exam Scores
Modify the existing Python source code to: protect all numerical data input by the user, such that, entering any numerical values that are outside the acceptable range of values results in the user being repeatedly queried to enter valid values.
An acceptable range of values are as follows:
Quiz and Assessment weight factors: 5-95% each
Quiz and Assessment scores: 0-100%
To increase the probability that users will enter the proper values, be sure that your source code provides enough detail for the user to understand what you’re code is expecting.
For instance:
Enter the desired quiz weight (value only): <-- is more ambiguous and is unacceptable
Enter the desired quiz weight from 5-95% (value only): <-- clearer for the user provides the capability to process the grades for an entire class of students without the user having to repeatedly re-run the program for each student. The user should be able to provide the program how many students they would like to evaluate, and the program will allow the user to process the set of scores of each student in the class.
Additionally, the program should display the student number as part of the output of the average calculations using the format:
Student x of y, where x is the current student number being processed and y is the total number (Ex. Student 1 of 5:) Before completing the python assignment program terminates, output to the screen the number of students that were processed by the program, along with an overall class weighted average.
Solution:
def get_validated_input(text, low, high):
inp = int(input(text + '({}-{}): '.format(low,high)))
while inp < low or inp > high:
print('Input not in expected range. Please try again!')
inp = int(input(text + '({}-{}): '.format(low,high)))
return inp
print("")
print("Input the Weight Factors (must total 100%):")

#Checking (if sum of weights is not 100, the user resecives the message and chance to input weights again)
while (quiz_weight + assessment_weight) != 100:
print("The sum of weights is not 100. Try again!")
