Project 3 - Youth Baseball

For this project, you need to write a program that registers players for baseball teams in a youth league. There are two teams:

• Bigs — players over 10 years old
• Littles — players 10 years and younger

The program should allow you to enter all the players and their ages, then print out a report on the two teams.

Registration

The registration program needs two things to register a player:

• name
• age

The program should automatically assign players to the two teams based on their age.

Report

For each team, the program prints:

• Total members
• Average age (rounded to zero decimal places)
• Youngest age
• Oldest age
• Members (in a bulleted list)

Sample Input/Output

Here is some sample input and output:

Enter player name: Willie Mays
Enter player age: 10
Enter player name: Mike Trout
Enter player age: 4
Enter player name: Cat Osterman
Enter player age: 13
Enter player name: Jocelyn Alo
Enter player age: 15
Enter player name: Mike Trout
Enter player age: 8
Enter player name: Ted Williams
Enter player age: 9
Enter player name: Dot Richardson
Enter player age: 6
Enter player name: 
Team Bigs

Team Littles
Total members: 5
Average age: 7
Youngest age: 4
Oldest age: 10

Sample Code

You can find sample code in youth_baseball.py.

Testing

1. You should test your program on your own before you run the tests we provide.

2. When you are ready to submit, use Gradescope. The grader has been setup to award partial credit. The points awarded are shown below. In addition, each section has partial credit. For example, if you are missing only a space in your output, you will get most of the credit.

TA Tips

When working on your project, remember the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle. Avoid creating multiple functions that perform the same task. Instead, aim to have a single, generic function that can handle similar operations. For example, rather than creating a function find_bigs_oldest(bigs) and another function find_littles_oldest(littles) to find the oldest team member given a member list, consider creating a generic function find_oldest(team) to avoid redundant code.

Grading

Manual grading will focus on decomposition, avoiding duplicate code, and correct use of tuples and unpacking tuples.
