CSCI161 Final Project -Solved

Part 1:  Write a python program which contains a user-defined function called 'input_data'.
This function should have a try/except block in it that will attempt to input a list of
three players' last name and their associated number.  Each player name and number should
be stored in an individual dictionary, one dictionary for each list element.  In other words,
you will have a list of dictionaries.  For example, 'Jones', 44 would
be one such pair of data.  These name/number pairs should be
placed in a dictionary object, and that object added to the list.  
The list should be returned by the function.  If there is an error inputting
the names, the except block should set the player names to 'none', 0 for all three cases.

Part 2:  Take the function from Part 1 and place it into a loadable module called Players.
Write a program that imports Players and calls the function, thus building the list, then 
prints the list returned by the module.

Part 3:  Write a program that will open a text file called textfile1.txt for reading, and
reads the contents.  Determine how many lines are in the textfile, and print out the
number as such: "The file contains X lines.", where X is the number of lines in the file.
Then have the program print the contents of the file to a second text file called textfile2.txt,
which your program will create when it runs.

Part 4:  Write a program that contains a class called Car.  The Car class should have a 
constructor which defines a Car object with the following attributes: make, model, and year.
Define a second class, which is derived from Car, called Entry, but adds attributes: driver and 
number.  The derived class should also have a printEntry method which prints out the
make, model, year, driver, and number of an Entry object.  Finally, write a section of the
program that creates a list of 3 Entry objects.  For each of these objects, prompt the user
for the make, model, year, driver, and number.  Finally print out this list.

Part 5:  Write a program that will take in a string, and then compute all possible combinations
of the letters in the string.  For each of these scramblings, search for that particular 'word'
in a dictionary file called dictionary.txt, which will be in the local directory.  
If a match is found, print "Found: <word>" where
<word> is the scrambling.  For instance, if the input string is 'tac', and the word 'cat'
exists in dictionary.txt, the program should print out "Found: cat".  The dictionary.txt file
will be in the same directory as the program is run from, and will only contain about a
dozen lines, each with a single word.
