#99631 — Help with this program???

Your program should contain a function that:
1. Seeks input from the user (via the keyboard);
2. To build a list of student exam results;
3. For each student their name (first and last), student number, and mark
out of 100 should be captured;
4. For full marks regular expressions or similar mechanisms should be used
to ensure the data appears valid.

This is a homework assignment, yes?

We're not going to write the code for you. If you have a program you
already wrote, we can offer feedback on *your* code.

You should also collaborate with other classmates in the course, or look
into the course material your teacher has provided.

I suggest you start by opening up a programmer's editor and saving an
empty file under the name "examresults.py". Then take your keyboard in
hand, and start writing code. The above text would make a good set of
"stub comments" - notes to indicate what parts of code you still need
to write - which you can progressively replace with actual code.

Hello.

We don't do people's assignments for them.
However, over on the tutor mailing list,
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
we do help people who are learning Python.

You will have to post your code, along with any error messages
you get and explain what you were trying to do.

Laura

Try writing a function that does the following:

1. Seeks input from the user (via the keyboard);
2. Builds a list of student exam results;
3. Captures name (first and last), student number, and mark out of 100 
for each student;
4. Uses regular expressions or similar mechanisms to ensure the data 
appears valid.
