HW 6

  1. Read Chapter 6 up to and including "Parsing strings". You'll need this for the lab on Thursday!!

  2. Programming: Write a program called nines.py that inputs one integer and prints out how many 9 digits were entered as part of that single integer. You must use a while loop. For loops are not yet allowed.

    HINT:: use the // operator for dividing integers

    5 / 4 --> 1.25  
    5 // 4 --> 1

    OTHER HINT: don't foget the % operator for remainders

    25 % 8 --> 1

    Your program should run exactly as follows:

    Enter a number: 763923
    1
    Enter a number: 99990999  
    7
    Enter a number: 2349129  
    2

    Submit your nines.py to the online submission system under hw5-while.
    Your output must exactly match the above.

    submit -c=sd211 -p=hw5-while nines.py
