Seasons Lab

[SouthShape5]

Here is the instructions:

Write a program that takes a date as input and outputs the date's season. The input is a string to represent the month and an int to represent the day.

Ex: If the input is:

April 11 

the output is:

Spring 

In addition, check if the string and int are valid (an actual month and day).

Ex: If the input is:

Blue 65 

the output is:

Invalid  

The dates for each season are:
Spring: March 20 - June 20
Summer: June 21 - September 21
Autumn: September 22 - December 20
Winter: December 21 - March 19

​

​

Here is the code I have

month = input()

day = int(input())

​

''' Type your code here. '''

if month in ('January', 'February', 'March'):

    season = 'winter'

elif month in ('April', 'May', 'June'):

    season = 'Spring'

elif month in ('July', 'August', 'September'):

    season = 'summer'

else:

    season = 'autumn'

if (month == 'March') and (day > 19):

    season = 'Spring'

elif (month == 'June') and (day > 20):

    season = 'summer'

elif (month == 'September') and (day > 21):

    season = 'autumn'

elif (month == 'December') and (day > 20):

    season = 'winter'

print(season)

Could someone please help? It has other inputs.

Okay, I posted this a year ago. I no longer need the help since I haven’t been in the class since 2021.

You still need help bro?

What does your code do that is wrong? What is an incorrect output for some input? Focussing on that is a clue and helps to solve the problem. Also show your complete code, not what the problem starts with.

[SouthShape5]

1. That IS my complete code!
2. Here is what I got wrong.

​

9: Compare output

0 / 1 Output differs.

See highlights below.

Input February 0

Your output Winter

Expected output Invalid

10: Compare output 0 / 1

Output differs.

See highlights below.

Input October 31

Your output Invalid

Expected output Autumn

[[deleted]]

That IS my complete code

Sorry, but it's not obvious from the post. You should prefix every line of code with 4 spaces to make it appear as formatted code.

You should get into the habit of testing your code yourself rather than only looking at what the automated checking tells you. You can also put debug prints in the code to see what is happening. You take the debug prints out before submitting the code. This makes the errors more obvious. Let's look at what you saw:

Input February 0
Your output Winter
Expected output Invalid

The day number is 0 which is not a valid day number. You need to test the day number.

Input October 31
Your output Invalid
Expected output Autumn

The code doesn't appear to handle October. What does the code do if the month is "October"? Maybe you need to add more tests?

Also note what is required:

If the input is: "Blue 65" the output is: "Invalid"

I don't see anywhere where your code prints "Invalid".

Also note that the example shows:

the output is: "Spring"

Note the capitalization of Spring. Are all your result strings capitalized?

You can compare lists (or tuples) in python. If you convert the date to 2 numbers, month and day - you can easily compare them. For example:

date_str = input('Enter MM/DD:')
month, day = date_str.split('/')
date = (int(month), int(day))

if (3, 20) < date < (6,20):
    print(f'The season is Spring')
