Deep Thought

“All right,” said the computer, and settled into silence again. The two men fidgeted. The tension was unbearable.
“You’re really not going to like it,” observed Deep Thought.
“Tell us!”
“All right,” said Deep Thought. “The Answer to the Great Question…”
“Yes…!”
“Of Life, the Universe and Everything…” said Deep Thought.
“Yes…!”
“Is…” said Deep Thought, and paused.
“Yes…!”
“Is…”
“Yes…!!!…?”
“Forty-two,” said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.”

— The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams

In deep.py, implement a program that prompts the user for the answer to the Great Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, outputting Yes if the user inputs 42 or (case-insensitively) forty-two or forty two. Otherwise output No.

Hints

No need to convert the user’s input to an int if you check for equality with "42", a str, rather than 42, an int!
It’s okay if your output or the user’s wraps onto multiple lines.

Before You Begin

From the root of your repository execute cd conditionals So your current working directory is ...

/conditionals $:

Next execute

code deep.py

to make a file called deep.py where you’ll write your program.

Success

Your program must have a function call deep_thought that takes 1 argument, a string. The function must return a boolean value of True if the argument is equal to "42", case insensitive "Forty Two", or "forty-two", otherwise it returns False. Your main() function should call the function with user input, print the result of that function call to the console.

How to Test

Here’s how to test your code manually. At the deep/ $ prompt in your terminal: :

Run your program with python deep.py. Type 42 and press Enter. Your program should output:
```
Yes
```
Run your program with python deep.py. Type Forty Two and press Enter. Your program should output:
```
Yes
```
Run your program with python deep.py. Type forty-two and press Enter. Your program should output:
```
Yes
```
Run your program with python deep.py. Type 50 and press Enter. Your program should output:
```
No
```

You can execute the below to check your code using pytest from the root directory.

pytest .\tests\conditionals\test_deep.py

A green output from running the test means it was successful. A red output means there is a bug in your code that you need to fix.

How to Submit

From github desktop or the command line, commit your changes and push them to your repository.

Codespaces

If you are using codespaces, you can commit your changes directly from the Codespace interface. Click on the Source Control icon in the left sidebar, then click on the "..." button and select "Commit to main". Enter a commit message and click "Commit".

Codespace terminal or your local terminal.

Note

You will need to have installed git-scm for this to work locally

At the /datatypes $ prompt in your terminal:

git add -A

Add all changed files in the repository to be committed

git commit -m "your message here"

Commit all changes in the REPO with the comment “your message here“ note: If the file is not complete, adjust the comment to describes what is being committed

Note

Remember to replace "your message here" with a meaningful commit message that describes your changes.

git push

Push all changes to the repo.
