Question

def calculate_growth_cycle(plant_name):
    if(plant_name == "strawberry"):
        print("### The life cycle of a strawberry ###\nA seed takes 110 days to reach maturity.")
    elif(plant_name == "cucumber"):
        print("### The life cycle of a cucumber ###\nA seed takes 76 days to reach maturity.")
    elif(plant_name == "potato"):
        print("### The life cycle of a potato ###\nA seed takes 120 days to reach maturity.")
    else: 
        print('Your plant is available, please try "strawberry", "cucumber" or "potato"')

Plants Growth Cycle

 

Learning Objectives

In this lab, you will practice:

  • Defining a function to match the given specifications
  • Calling the function in your program
  • Using if statements (can combine them with dictionaries)

Instructions

For every plant, there is a growth cycle. The number of days that it takes starting from being a seed and ending in being a fruit is what is called the growth cycle. Write a function that takes a plant's name as an argument and returns its growth cycle (in days).

In your program:

  1. Input from the user the name of a plant

  2. Check if the input is either "strawberry", "cucumber" or "potato", if Yes:

    2.1 Call calculate_growth_cycle

    2.2. In function calculate_growth_cycle, check over the plant's name:

    2.2.1 If strawberry, print "### The life cycle of a strawberry ###" and return 110

    2.2.2 If cucumber, print "### The life cycle of a cucumber ###" and return 76

    2.2.3 If potato, print "### The life cycle a potato ###" and return 120

    2.3 With the growth cycle number returned, your program should print "A seed takes <growth_number> days to reach maturity."

If not, your program should print "Your plant is available, please try "strawberry", "cucumber" or "potato"

Example

Input

potato

Output

### The life cycle of a potato ### A seed takes 120 days to reach maturity.

Input

Mango

Output

Your plant is available, please try "strawberry", "cucumber" or "potato"

References

Strawberry growth cycle

Cucumber growth cycle

Potato growth cycle

 

This is my code below:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    plant_name = input()
    plant_name = plant_name.lower()  

 

    calculate_growth_cycle(plant_name)

 

 

The lab say:

Function works incorrectly, check the parametrs and return values

5: Function a
### The life cycle of a cucumber ###
Your output
A seed takes 76 days to reach maturity.
Test feedback
calculate_growth_cycle ('cucumber') incorrectly returned None

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

As given, I need to write a Python program according to the given requirements.

 

What's wrong with your code is -

You have not returned any value in your function calculate_growth_cycle(). The number of days should be returned in the function. As you haven't done that part, you are getting an error.

I have provided the complete code with detailed comments and output screenshots in the following steps.
