Calculating the stops between stations.

The Victoria line is a London Underground line that runs between Brixton in south London and Walthamstow Central in the north-east, via the West End. It is printed in light blue on the Tube map and is one of the only two lines on the network to run completely underground. There are sixteen stations on the line. This program outputs the number of stops between two stations on a ticket on the Victoria line.

Write a program to output how many stops there are between two stations on the Victoria line.

Success Criteria

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

Complete the subprogram called get_station that:

1. Asks the user to input a station.
2. If the station is in the station list it returns the name of the station.
3. If the station is not in the station list it outputs, “Invalid station.”
4. The function is run until a valid station is entered and returned.

Complete the subprogram called calculate_stops that:

1. Takes one parameter that is a list of the two stations on a ticket.
2. Returns the number of stops between each station.

Complete the main program so that:

1. A function get_station is called to input the name of the first station on the ticket.
2. The function get_station is called again to input the name of the second station on the ticket. Note the stations can be input in any order, not just the order shown in the list of stations.
3. The function calculate_stops is called to calculate the number of stops.
4. The number of stops is output with plurals correctly used. E.g. 1 stop / 2 stops.

Typical inputs and outputs from the program would be:

Enter station: Stockwell
Enter station: Pimlico
Stockwell to Pimlico is 2 stops.

Enter station: Brixton
Enter station: Stockwell
Brixton to Stockwell is 1 stop.

Enter station: Green Park
Enter station: Vauxhall
Green Park to Vauxhall is 3 stops.
