Python Project for Class 7 CBSE board

CBSE Class 7 Python Adventure: Build the Ultimate Joke Machine!

by

Are you ready to make your friends laugh with the click of a button? In this awesome Python project, you’ll create the Ultimate Joke Generator! With just a few lines of code, you’ll be able to tell random jokes at any time. Learn how to make Python your new best friend while having a blast coding your own comedy show!

Step 1: Setting Up Python

Before starting the project, ensure that Python is installed on your computer. You can download it from the official website: python.org.

Step 2: Creating the Joke List

The first thing we need is a list of jokes. Open your Python editor (like IDLE or any code editor like VS Code) and write the following code:

# A list of jokes
jokes = [
    "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts!",
    "What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire? Frostbite!",
    "Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!",
    "I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised!",
    "Why did the math book look sad? Because it had too many problems."
]

Step 3: Creating a Function to Tell a Joke

Now that we have our jokes stored in a list, we’ll create a function that will randomly choose a joke and print it. We’ll use Python’s random module for that.

import random

# Function to tell a random joke
def tell_joke():
    joke = random.choice(jokes)  # Randomly choose a joke from the list
    print(joke)

Step 4: Giving Users Control

Next, let’s allow the user to interact with the program. We’ll give them an option to hear another joke or exit.

# Main function to run the program
def main():
    print("Welcome to the Ultimate Joke Generator!")
    while True:
        tell_joke()  # Tell a joke
        user_input = input("Do you want to hear another joke? (yes/no): ").lower()
        if user_input == 'no':
            print("Thanks for laughing with me! Goodbye!")
            break
        elif user_input != 'yes':
            print("Please type 'yes' or 'no'.")

Step 5: Running the Program

Now, let’s run the program. Simply call the main() function to start the joke generator:

# Run the joke generator
main()

Conclusion

In this project, you’ve built a simple yet fun program that generates random jokes. By learning how to use lists, functions, and random selection, you’ve taken your first steps toward becoming a Python programmer. This is a great way to get started with coding, while having fun at the same time. You can even expand this project by adding more jokes or letting the friends input their own jokes!
