Unit5-05: Default Values (Optional)

Here is the Problem:

• Create a program called “AddressProgram” that has a function that accepts an address and then prints it again but formatted nicely. Refer to today’s page for example output in both Python and C++.

• Name the function: “format_address() in Python” and “FormatAddress()” in C++

• The function will have 1 default parameter, the apartment number, which will be “” (null or empty)

  • Not every address has an apartment number, so it might not have this value

• The function will accept only Canadian addresses:

  • Addressee

  • Apartment number (optional)

  • Street number

  • Street name

  • City

  • Province

  • Postal Code

• The function should return a single string that looks like a mailing address from Canada Post.

  • You are returning a single string, but with multiple lines!

    • Use “\n” to include a carriage return in the string

    • Notice that all the text is upper case.

      • In Python, to make a string all upper case use the built-in function upper()

        • For example:

        • some_text = "abc"  # some_text = "abc"

        • some_text_caps = some_text.upper()  # some_text_caps = "ABC"

• The function should use named parameters.

  • Ensure that you call the function from main() at least twice:

    • Once without the optional parameter

    • Once with the optional parameter

• Don't worry about catching invalid data for today's assignment.

• Note: The top-down design should be for the entire program. There should be a flowchart for each function.
