1. Write a python function that computes the square of a number. The function should return the
output as a tuple in the following form: (a, a^2 ) where a is the input value to the function.

In [1]:

def square(x):

2. Write a function that can accept two strings as input and concatenate them and then print it as an
output.

Welcome Home!

3. Write a function that can accept an integer number as an input and print "Even number" if the
number is even, otherwise print "Odd number".

In [5]:

def even_odd(x):
if x % 2 == 0:
print("Even number")
else:
print("Odd number")

8. Write a function that takes in a list of usernames of students. The function should then output
another list which returns the email addresses by adding @thebritishcollege.edu.np” to the
usernames in the list. The output of your function should be a list.

In [17]:

def out_email(usernames):
out_list = []
for n in usernames:
out_list.append(str(n)+"@thebritishcollege.edu.np")
return out_list

'[email protected]']

9. In the list given below, use a while loop to print the output. Your loop should run until all the items
in the list have been printed.

In [19]:

name_list = [('Dan Mace', 98980000), ('Connor Meyer', 777890879), ('Adam Smith',

123087699), ('John Watson', 960008779)]

In [20]:
