# PROGRAM TITLE: HAPPINESS IN AFRICA SURVEY PROGRAM

# PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: A Python program that queries the user to input responses to the survey 
#                      questions from my Google Form survey. The program records the users 
#                      responses and uses conditional statements to check and clean their inputs. 
#                      After cleaning the user input, the program then outputs clean data in a CSV 
#                      format. 

# GENERAL SOLUTION: Import the datetime library to use the method to get the current date and time.
#                   Ask the user for input according to my survey questions.
#                   Use conditional statements to check user input for age, linear scale, multiple 
#                   choice and data driven yes/no questions.
#                   Output the cleaned responses of the user, separated by commas, using a print 
#                   statement with string formatting that combines strings and variables. 

# PSEUDOCODE: Import datetime library.
#             Define variable for current data and time.
#             Define variables and ask for user input to my survey questions.
#             Use if/elif/else statements to check for valid used input and clean 
#             invalid user input if possible.
#             If the user enters valid input to ALL survey questions:
#               print a line with the cleaned data values separated by commas
#               for each response that the user gave to the questions: current data in mm/dd/yyyy 
#               and current time in hh:mm:ss, user’s response to question one, user’s response to 
#               question two, user’s response to question three, etc.
#             If the user enters invalid input to ANY survey questions:
#               output an error message stating unable to output the user’s responses because one 
#               or more of the user’s inputs are invalid.
