Program all_consuming.py

• Develop a program that estimates annual consumption of a commodity based on how much is consumes on both a typical weekday and on a typical weekend day.

---

Assumptions

• The term week denotes 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days.

• Assume a year is exactly 52 weeks (yes, we know a real year is longer, but we will ignore that in this program).

• User supplied inputs are integers.

---

Requirements

• The program prompts the user for the commodity to analyze.

• The program then individually (i.e., separarely) prompts the user for two integer values:

• First, the quantity consumed on a typical weekday,

• Then the quantity consumed on a typical weekend day.

• The program uses the inputs to compute and report the estimate of the quantity consumed in a year.

• The quantity output should specify the commodity whose use is being reported.

---

Suggested agorithm

• Get input commodity of interest

• Get weekday consumption

• Get weekend day consumption

• Compute weekly consumption

• Compute yearly consumption

• Report yearly consumption

Three program runs

What is something you consume daily? paper napkins

How much consumed on a typical weekday: 6

How much consumed on a typical weekend day: 0

You consume 1560 paper napkins per year.

What is something you consume daily? pretzels

How much consumed on a typical weekday: 0

How much consumed on a typical weekend day: 1

You consume 104 pretzels per year.

What is something you consume daily? jelly beans

How much consumed on a typical weekday: 4

How much consumed on a typical weekend day: 12
