1 Python language exercises

1. (5 points) Consider the following expression, intended to print the square


root of 16:

pow(16,(1/2))

What is the result of this expression? How should it be changed, still


using pow, to yield the correct answer?
2. (5 points) Define the variables x and y as lists of numbers, and z as a
tuple.

x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y=[11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
z=(21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

(a) What is the value of 3*x?


(b) What is the value of x+y?
(c) What is the value of x-y?
(d) What is the value of x[1]?
(e) What is the value of x[0]?
(f) What is the value of x[-1]?
(g) What is the value of x[:]?
(h) What is the value of x[2:4]?
(i) What is the value of x[1:4:2]?
(j) What is the value of x[:2]?
(k) What is the value of x[::2]?
(l) What is the result of the following two expressions?
x[3]=8
print x
(m) What is the result of the above pair of expressions if the list x were
replaced with the tuple z?

3. (5 points) Define the variable s as the string s="abcde".


(a) What is the value of 3*x?
(b) What is the value of x[1]?
(c) What is the value of x[-1]?
(d) What is the value of x[::2]?
4. (5 points) Write a program to find those numbers ¡=100 that are equal to
the sum of their factors.

5. (5 points) Define a “Big number” as a list of digits. Write a program
whose first non-comment lines are two 20-digit numbers
x=[3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5,3,5,8,9,7,9,3,2,3,8,5]
y=[2,7,1,8,2,8,1,8,2,8,4,5,9,0,4,5,5,3,4,9]
Write a program that:

(a) Finds the sum (x+y) considered as 20-digit “big numbers” and prints
it as a list of digits.
(b) Finds the product 15*x considered as a product of “big numbers” and
prints it as a list of digits.
Your program should be general enough that if x and y are changed to be
30-digit numbers, your program would still work correctly.
6. (8 points) Write a program to do the following tasks:
(a) Define a function named dif2 that accepts an integer N as input
parameter and constructs and returns an N × N two-dimensional
numpy array A, with the value -2.0 on the main diagonal and the
value +1.0 on the super-diagonal and the sub-diagonal.
(b) For N=10, construct a one-dimensional array b of length N filled
with zeros except that the first element is 1.0 and the last element is
-N. For N=10, solve the system Ax = b for x.
(c) For N=20, construct a one-dimensional array c of length N , filled
with random numbers. For A from the dif2 function, Solve the
system Ay = c for y and then confirm that the solution you found is
approximately correct by computing the relative norm of the residual
error, kAy − ck/kck. This value should be no larger than 10−12 .
