5.10. Studio: Data and Variables

In this studio, you are going to write code to display the very important Launch Checklist LC04.

LC04 displays information related to the space shuttle, astronauts, and rockets before launch.

5.10.1. Before You Start

Use this starter Repl.it file to complete this studio.

5.10.2. Assign Variables

Assign a variable for every data point listed below. Remember to account for the different data types.

Variable	Value
date	Monday 2019-03-18
time	10:05:34 AM
astronautCount	7
astronautStatus	ready
averageAstronautMassKg	80.7
crewMassKg	astronautCount * averageAstronautMassKg
fuelMassKg	760,000
shuttleMassKg	74842.31
totalMassKg	crewMassKg + fuelMassKg + shuttleMassKg
fuelTempCelsius	-225
fuelLevel	100%
weatherStatus	clear

5.10.3. Generate the LC04 Form

Display LC04 to the console using the variables you declared and initialized.

The generated report should look exactly like the example below—including spaces and symbols (-, >, and *).

5.10.3.1. Example Output

Note that your output should change when you assign different values to astronautCount, fuelMassKg, etc. The point is to AVOID coding specific values into the print() statements. Use your variable names instead.

5.10.4. Show Off Your Code

When finished, show your code to your TA so they can verify your work.

If you do not finish before the end of class, login to Repl.it and save your work. Complete the studio at home, then copy the URL for your project and submit it to your TA.

5.10.5. Bonus Mission

Use input() to prompt the user to enter the value for astronautCount.

The values printed for astronautCount, crewMassKg, and totalMassKg should change based on the number of astronauts on the shuttle. (Don’t forget to convert the input value from a string to a number).
