"Similar to last week, I'm keeping this portion of your homework assignment relatively short to allow you time to work on your group project. As such, the homework won't involve every single topic covered in class. For the remaining quiz, however, you'll still be responsible for all concepts covered in class, so it's up to you to do as much practicing as you need!"

"For this question, we'll create a bot that presents users with some options pertaining to the state of California. I've divided the question up into a required part (1A) and an optional part (1B) -- the latter for those that want an additional challenge.\n",
"\n",
"### 1A (required)\n",
"Your bot should ask the user the following:\n",
"\n",
"Which of the following would you like to know? \n",
"A. The capital of CA \n",
"B. The governor of CA \n",
"C. The year CA was founded \n",
"\n",
"Next, convert the user's answer to lowercase -- this will save you the headache of having to check for `A` or `a`, `B` or `b`, etc.\n",
"\n",
"If the user inputs a response that isn't a/b/c, tell them their response is invalid, and give them a chance to input their response again. Note: you should do this the \"smart\" way as described in class.\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"Assuming the user inputs a valid response, provide them with the relevant answer. Answers for a-c, respectively: Sacramento, Gavin Newsom, 1850."

"### 1B (optional)\n",
"In real life, after a bot provides an answer, it usually asks the user if they need help with anything else or have more questions. \n",
"\n",
"In the case of our CA bot, it might ask if the user would like to make another selection among the A-C choices. So long as the user says yes, they're presented with the options again.\n",
"\n",
"This is easy to implement by adding a while loop to the *top* of your code. Start by copying and pasting your code from 1A into the space below, and then see if you can figure out how change the functionality as desired.\n",
"\n",
"As a hint, start by creating a variable and assigning it a value of `yes`. So long as the value is equivalent to `yes`, proceed with executing the bot -- including the original question from above, as well as a question about whether the user would like to make another selection. Once this condition is no longer met, provide a goodbye message such that the bot quits."
