Make

Write a program that outputs the song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas”.

Success Criteria

Remember to add a comment before a subprogram, selection or iteration statement to explain its purpose.

Complete the subprogram called output_song that:

1. Outputs the song, “The twelve days of Christmas” in the most efficient way.

   Hint

   Use a list of the days, “first”, “second” etc. Use a list of the gifts. Iterate over both lists.

Complete the main program so that:

1. It calls the output_song procedure.

Typical inputs and outputs from the program would be:

On the first of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

On the second of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.

On the third of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Three french hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.

On the fourth of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.

On the fifth of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
