Your boss at Ruritania Weather Center (RWC) has asked you to write a small
program for center. The specification are as follows:
a. the program asks a user to enter a number between 1 and 12 inclusive
representing the months January to December. Once this number has
been entered, the program is to write a small history about the month
entered.
To write a program that fulfills the given specifications, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by defining a function called "month_history" to handle the user input and display the history of the entered month.
2. Inside the function, use the "input" function to prompt the user to enter a number between 1 and 12 to represent the month.
3. Utilize a while loop to continuously ask for input until a valid number within the specified range is entered. Use an "if" statement to check if the input is within the range of 1-12. If it is, exit the loop; otherwise, display a message informing the user to enter a valid number.
4. Once a valid number is entered, create a list or dictionary containing the history of each month. You can store the history as strings corresponding to the index of the month (e.g., index 0 for January, index 1 for February, and so on).
5. Display the history of the month entered by using the input number as an index to access the corresponding month's history from the created list or dictionary.
6. Finally, call the "month_history" function to execute the program.
Here's an example implementation in Python:
```python
def month_history():
month_history_list = [
"January is the first month of the year and has 31 days.",
"February is the second month of the year and has 28 days (or 29 in a leap year).",
"March is the third month of the year and has 31 days.",
"April is the fourth month of the year and has 30 days.",
"May is the fifth month of the year and has 31 days.",
"June is the sixth month of the year and has 30 days.",
"July is the seventh month of the year and has 31 days.",
"August is the eighth month of the year and has 31 days.",
"September is the ninth month of the year and has 30 days.",
"October is the tenth month of the year and has 31 days.",
"November is the eleventh month of the year and has 30 days.",
"December is the twelfth month of the year and has 31 days."
]
while True:
month_num = int(input("Enter a number between 1 and 12: "))
if 1 <= month_num <= 12:
break
else:
print("Please enter a valid number.")
print(month_history_list[month_num - 1])
month_history()
```
This program will keep asking the user to input a number between 1 and 12 until a valid number is entered. Once a valid number is provided, the program will display the corresponding month's history.
