questions below. Completing these questions will help you to succeed in your subject.

Complete workshop-8 activities and submit your work during the workshop session.

Workshop Questions

1. Dice Rolls

Write a program that rolls a dice several times as specified by the user. The program

should contain a roll function with an integer parameter number_of_rolls. The

function simulates a dice roll (generates a random number 1 to 6) and appends the

result to a list. Upon completing number_of_rolls iterations, the list must be returned

to the main function that displays the list. If the user enters 10 rolls, the program will

show a list of 10 dice roll results.

2. employee Records

This task aims to create a list for storing employees records. Consider an employee

record consists of following fields: employee_id, Last Name, First Name, and Salary.

Write a program that gets employee data from the user and stores those as records

in a list called employees. You must validate the Salary input so that it only contains

a number between 0 and 10000. In the beginning, the program should also prompt

the user for the number of employee records.

Note: The employee list will have a structure like this: ['123', 'John', 'Sam', 850.0,

'456', 'Jane', 'Mary', 650.0, ...] (four elements per employee)

3. Distinguished employees

Extend the program in task 2 to display details of all employees their salary above

$7000. You must use slicing operations to extract information of an employee from

the full list.
