In this PA, you will be writing multiple programs that print out ascii art of famous landmarks. Each of these programs should accept one or more values from the user which are used to adjust the size of the printout. You should write two programs total.
In this program, you will print out ascii art of the white house (pictures above).
Name your progam white_house.py.
Your program should ask the user for three numbers: the width of the sides, the width of the middle, and the flag height.
The side width will increase the width of the left and right sides in accordance with the number provided.
The middle with will control the width of the middle section of the white house.
The flag height will control the height of the flag pole.
Below is a diagram showing what component of the house each input value determines.
The house shown in the image has a side with of 4, a middle width of 2, and a flag height of 3. When the width of the sides increase, it actually increases by more than one character. It actually increases by 3 characters on each side, following the pattern of windows and wall. Similarly for the middle. The width increases by 4 characters on each side of the center of the building. See the image below for reference.
Also, the height of the white house should be a function of the two width inputs. The formula to determine the height is:
Use that calculation to determine how many rows tall the house should be!
Below are just a few examples of this program running with different input values provided. You will be able to use the differ and/or gradescope to test for correct output.

Specify middle width:

Specify flag height:

In this program, you will print out ascii art of the eiffel tower.
Name your progam eiffel_tower.py.
Your program should ask the user for just one number: The size of the tower.
The program should support any size 2-20.
(Don’t worry about trying to make your tower bridge printout match the above image. Instead, use the test cases provided in the spec, on the differ, and on gradescope)
Below are serveral examples of this program running with different input values provided.
Enter Eiffel tower size:

Notice that the overall size of the towers can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally.
Another “trick” to getting this correct is ficuring out how much whitespace to put before the middle and top rows. The number of white spaces can change depending on the size input, so you’ll have to use some basic math and resoning skills to figure out the formula!
You should also include a comment at the top of the code file. The comment should include your name and a short description of what the program does. Below is a template you may use:
###
### Author: Your Name Here
### Description: Describe your program with one
### or more sentences of text.

You should not use any python libraries or features that will not have been covered by the time this PA is due. You should be using string multiplication to get the sizing of the output correct. You are not allowed to use if-statements or loops. We will be checking that your code fulfills the requirements, has good style, etc. Receiving full points on all of the Gradescope test cases does not guarantee you an A.
This PA is due on Tuesday, September 10th, at 7pm. Turn both programs via on Gradescope. You should make sure that your final submission passes all of the test cases. Passing all test cases does not guarantee a perfect grade. Your code will also be graded on style and formatting.
