mixed messages

SOlUTion
These are the message boxes available in tkinter. You were to think
carefully about each of the following examples, then indicate which
type of box on the left you would choose for each of the messages on
the right. You were to connect the messages to the boxes with lines.
Are you REALLY sure you want to
continue and do this thing? It's your
last chance to change your mind.
showinfo “OK to fire boosters?”
This is pure information. Nothing
to worry about. Except the risk of
clashing with your velvet pixie hood.

showwarning “Your tartan clogs have arrived.”

It didn't work last time, but if you like, you can try again.

showerror “Seriously, I think he’s just ignoring the phone.”

OK, so there's nothing actually
“Danger, Will Robinson!” broken YET, but BE CAREFUL
askquestion

You are going to continue, but
do you want this extra option?

askokcancel “Do you want fries with that?”

Stuff's broken. You need to know.

askyesnocancel “Dude, the printer’s busted.”

Do you want this additional option, or would
you like to forget about the whole thing?

askretrycancel “So, you want Nutella on your bacon and jelly sandwich?”

Did your answers match ours? They might not. Selecting which type of message box to use
depends a lot upon the particular program you're writing and how serious you think a decision is.
