Question

Describe a situation in which you would want to use modulus division in a program. Then, write the line of code that would use modulus division.
A customer has hired you to code a cooking mystery game. Here is part of the narrative: “When the player enters the kitchen, they can choose to preheat the oven or chop vegetables. If they choose to preheat the oven, they will get a message that the oven is broken. If they choose to chop the vegetables, they will get a message that the knife is missing.” Write the code for this situation.
Write three lines of code using a sequence noiterationorselection
that would be appropriate for a story or game.
Will the output for each of these print statements be the same? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Integer Division

Situation: You want to determine how many full boxes of cookies can be created from a given number of cookies. For example, if each box can hold 12 cookies, and you have a total of 53 cookies, you would want to use integer division to find out how many full boxes can be created.

Line of Code:

full_boxes = 53 // 12  # This would yield 4 full boxes

Modulus Division

Situation: You want to determine if a number is odd or even. By using modulus division, you can check if the remainder when dividing by 2 is zero; if it is, the number is even, otherwise it is odd.

Line of Code:

is_even = 27 % 2 == 0  # This would yield False since 27 is odd

Cooking Mystery Game Code

Here's how you can implement the narrative in Python code:

choice = input("Enter 'preheat' to preheat the oven or 'chop' to chop vegetables: ")

if choice == 'preheat':
    print("The oven is broken.")
elif choice == 'chop':
    print("The knife is missing.")

Sequence Without Iteration or Selection

Here's an example of three lines of code that might fit into a story or game:

print("You enter the enchanted forest.")
print("The trees whisper secret words.")
print("A mysterious path appears before you.")

Will the Output Be the Same?

The outputs of the provided print statements will not be the same. Each print statement outputs a different sentence to the console. Statements in programming execute sequentially, so each line generates a separate output based on the content of that line. Hence, they will produce three distinct lines of output, describing different elements of the story or game scenario.
