  • Prototype several types of bridges
  • Blog about your experience – This should include:
    • Images of your prototypes
    • Images of your failures
    • What you learned from those failures
    • How you used the experience to alter your designs

The embedded document explains the five types of bridges and under which circumstances they are used.

• For your Python final assessment write a program that asks the user for two numbers and an operation to perform on those two numbers.
• The program then performs and displays the operation with the result.
• Each operation MUST be defined in a function!
• Use if, elif commands.
• Below is an image of an example.

• Extra credit (10 points) goes to anyone that can make the program run until the user inputs “5” as an option to “exit”!!!
