ITEC 136 Homework 2 Name

The document describes two programming assignments: 1) A program that prompts a user to enter three sides of a triangle, uses a triangle_type() function to determine if the sides form a triangle and if so the type (equilateral, isosceles, or scalene), and prints the results. 2) A program with an is_prime() function that takes a number and returns True if it is a prime number or False if it is not, and the main program prompts for a number and prints the result.

ITEC 136 Homework 2 Name: _____________________

1. [10 points] Write a program that prompts user to enter three sides of a triangle. The
program should determine if the three sides can form a triangle. If the three sides can
form a triangle, then determine the type of the triangle.
There are three types of triangles:

o Equilateral triangle (all 3 sides are equal)


o Isosceles triangle (two sides are equal, the third side is of a different length)
o Scalene triangle (all 3 sides are of different lengths)

The program should have a function called triangle_type() that takes 3 parameters, the
lengths of each side. The triangle_type() function should return Equilateral, Isosceles,
or Scalene according to the descriptions above. Do not use global variables. Function
parameters must be used.

Sample output:
Enter side 1 length: 5
Enter side 2 length: 5
Enter side 3 length: 5
Triangle with lengths 5.0, 5.0 and 5.0 is an Equilateral
triangle.

Enter side 1 length: 5


Enter side 2 length: 5
Enter side 3 length: 4
Triangle with lengths 5.0, 5.0 and 4.0 is an Isosceles triangle.

Enter side 1 length: 10


Enter side 2 length: 5
Enter side 3 length: 30
Triangle with lengths 10.0, 5.0 and 30.0 cannot form a triangle.

2. [10 points] Write a program that determines if the number entered is a prime number.
The program should have a function called is_prime(num) that takes a single integer
argument and returns True when the argument is a prime number, and False otherwise.

Hint: Prime number is a positive number whose only factors are 1 and itself.

Here is sample output:


Enter an integer: 19
19 is a prime number.

Enter an integer: 136


136 is not a prime number.
