Below is an example - but you can create your own. Be sure to #comment the introductionary section. Should your chatbot have a name or a personality?

This is Eliza - the very first chatbot

While this is just an example - it does have a plan psuedocoded for you. Make sure to do comments to identify this section

Go crazy and add some oneline ascii art to your chatbot or use ++,==,--, or other symbols to drawn lines on the screen to seperate different parts of your user experience.

So if we ask a user to enter a number - the comptuer store that value as a STRING - and we cannot do math with Strings.

So how can we tell the computer that we want the value to be an integer?

• Prompt User to Enter a Numeric Value

• Cast that value to an int

• then use that number in math

number = input("Enter a Number Greater than 0: ")
print(number + number)

number = int(number)
print(number = number)

Each print() command does two things: displays a value to the user AND moves the cursor down to the next line

However - we can modifiy the end of our print command

print(23)
print(33, end = "-")
print(43)

Explain the output that you can see.

So what does , end = do??

So far we have been joining strings using the +, but for a print statement we can display more than one piece of data without having to join.

print("Alicia")
print("Alicia", 9, end ="!  ")
word = "frogs"
print ("Alicia", 9, word, end ="!")

Consider this output from the visualizer

We are no longing combining strings to create a new string - we are displaying different data types and commands to the user by connecting pieces with a ,

Typically, we we ask the user to enter data - we will store that value in a variable

name = input("What is your name: ")

Notice that the user can see the question and their response on the console AND that the value stored in name defaults to a string

Your first major project will be a chatbot - you will simulate a converstation with a user by collecting information and building responses. Because this is a Unit 1 assignment there will not be any error checking - we will assume the user enters the correct information when prompted.

In codingrooms - open the assignment and make sure you are working on the chatBot.py file!

Use your math coding skills to guess the users age

Notice this is nicely psuedocoded out for you - and there are awesome examples of HOW to comment - go crazy and follow the directions.

Right now - our chatbot doesn't have any options on what to respond. But - could you had some pauses, or some other output phrases that indicate "thinking"

Can you insert a knock knock joke?

Can you make your chatbot overly friendly? rude? nosy?

Create a custom goodbye that

• is more than one line of output

• references the user's name

• gives a reason for the end of a conversation

• references one piece of information you collected along the way

One component of AI is the attempt to replicate human emotion. So we want to include emotions in the conversation - but your chatbot does not have the ability to make a learned response based on the users input so you have to be generic.

feeling = input("How are you feeling today?")
print("Why are you feeling", feeling, " now?")

#now continue this conversation that will work with 
#all the feelings 

• Greet User

• Collect and store 2 numbers

• Confirm values entered to user

• perform 4 basic matmetical operators (any 4)

• display solutions in any format you chose but MUST identify the operation you chose

The sum of these numbers is: 

The difference betwen 4 and 1 is 3

Multiplication: 3 * 5 = 15

Pick two topics and continue your conversation. Below is a sample conversation about animals - you may NOT use animals as one of your topics - but I wanted to give you an example
