[画像:### LAB ACTIVITY: Scrabble Points #### Task Description: In this lab activity, you will write a function to calculate the Scrabble points for a given word. #### Code Snippet: ```python def count_scrabble_points(user_input): """ The function ... """ tile_dict = { 'A': 1, 'B': 3, 'C': 3, 'D': 2, 'E': 1, 'F': 4, 'G': 2, 'H': 4, 'I': 1, 'J': 8, 'K': 5, 'L': 1, 'M': 3, 'N': 1, 'O': 1, 'P': 3, 'Q': 10, 'R': 1, 'S': 1, 'T': 1, 'U': 1, 'V': 4, 'W': 4, 'X': 8, 'Y': 4, 'Z': 10 } if __name__ == "__main__": ''' Type your code here. ''' ``` #### Instructions: - Create a function `count_scrabble_points` that takes a string `user_input` as its parameter. - Utilize `tile_dict` to find the corresponding point value for each letter in `user_input`. - The function should calculate the total Scrabble score for the input word by summing the point values of each letter. - Complete the code under `if __name__ == "__main__":` by calling the function and printing the result. #### Objective: By completing this task, you will understand how to: - Use dictionaries to map characters to values. - Perform operations on strings and iterate through them. - Implement a simple scoring algorithm similar to the rules of the game Scrabble.]

[画像:**Instructions** Scrabble is a word game in which words are constructed from letter tiles, each letter tile containing a point value. The value of a word is the sum of each tile’s points added to any points provided by the word’s placement on the game board. Write a program that takes a word as input and outputs the base total value of the word by calling `count_scrabble_points()`. Implement `count_scrabble_points()` to calculate the total points for the given string (the function’s parameter) and return this total. ### Example If the input is: `PYTHON` the output is: `14` **Why 14?** Because we look up the score for each letter and get: ``` 'P': 3 'Y': 4 'T': 1 'H': 4 'O': 1 'N': 1 ``` When we sum up the respective points, we get 14. --- The image contains a Scrabble tile point distribution: - A: 1, B: 3, C: 3, D: 2, E: 1, F: 4, G: 2 - H: 4, I: 1, J: 8, K: 5, L: 1, M: 3, N: 1 - O: 1, P: 3, Q: 10, R: 1, S: 1, T: 1, U: 1 - V: 4, W: 4, X: 8, Y: 4, Z: 10]
