Implementation of Non-Nested Loops in
Python
Note: Draw a flowchart before coding question number 5 to 8.
1. Eliminate all the syntax and logical errors in the following code that asks the user for the
number of times “Hello World” is to be displayed and then displays it.

Test case 1:

Test case 2:

Test case 3:
 2. Write a function f() which prints a name ‘n’ times. Follow steps A, B and C to get the required
output
A. Write a code using for-loop to print “ali” 5 times.
B. Now put the code you wrote in part A into the function f(name) shown below. The argument of
the function f() could be any name.

Test case 1: The following output comes when f(“ali”) is called

Test case 2: The following output comes when f(“cat”) is called

C. Now add another parameter ‘n’ to the function f(name) to print the name ‘n’ times. For
example f(“ali”, 3) should print ‘ali’ 3 times. Another example: f(“yahya”, 10) should print yahya 10 times.
Submit part C code only by the name e4t2.py.

Test case 1: The following output comes when f(“ail” , 5) is called

 Test case 2: The following output comes when f(“Parrot”,3) is called

Notice how we approached this problem of writing a complete function. First we wrote code without any
user-defined function in part A. Then we wrote the code of part A inside the function f() (Part B). Then
we added a new parameter ‘n’ to the function. Follow this approach for writing functions!!!

3. Write a function print_even(n) that prints first ‘n’ integers that are even and divisible by 6. The
function should also display the number of such integers. To solve this problem, breakdown this
complex problem into simpler problems (Parts A, B, C and D below) and gradually modify them
as required.

A. Write a code to print the first 5 integers including 0 using a for loop.

B. Now write a function print_even(n) which when called should print first ‘n’ integers including
0. For example print_even(5) should give the following output.

Test case 1: The following output comes when print_even(5) is called

Test case 2: The following output comes when print_even(3) is called

C. Now modify the definition of the function print_even() in part B so that it prints integers that
are even and divisible by 6. For example when print_even(50) is called, the following output
should appear
 Test case 1: The following output comes when print_even(50) is called

Test case 2: The following output comes when print_even(30) is called

D. Now modify the function print_even() in part B so that it also prints the number of integers
that are even and divisible by 6. For example when print_even(50) is called, the following output
should appear. Submit part D code only by the name e4t3.py

Test case 1: The following output comes when print_even(50) is called

Test case 2: The following output comes when print_even(30) is called

Notice how we approached this problem by first solving the simplest version of it (Part A) and
then gradually increasing its complexity to get the required output!!! You should also use this
approach to write complex programs.Of course, before writing a program you should know its
algorithm first!!
4. Complete and then place the whole code inside the function baz() which when called should
display the output shown below. The function baz() should neither take any argument nor return
back anything.

Output

5. Steps a to e below are part of an algorithm (algo) to find the absolute of a number three
times. Do you think the program will work correctly or the order of the steps should be
rearranged to correctly run the program? If so, rearrange the steps below. Convert the
following algorithm into a flow chart. Then start to code.

Algorithm for question 5

Repeat the following steps a to c 3 times using a for-loop:

a. Display the message “The absolute of x is ___” where ___ is the absolute of x.
b. Prompt the user to enter the number, and store it in variable x.
c. Call the function absolute(x), which takes x as argument, to find and return the
absolute of x.

Write the following steps inside the definition of the function absolute(y). Do you
think the steps below need to be rearranged?

d. Return y
e. If y is negative, then multiply it by -1 and store it in y.
 Test case 1:

Test case 2:

6. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a number and then that number is
displayed at the output as it is.The program should continue to prompt the user and
display the number as long as the number is less than 5. The program should print “end”
and then stop when the user enters any number greater than 5. Can a loop be used to
solve this problem? If so, which loop will you prefer, for or while? Give reasons. Don't
write any user-defined function to solve this problem.
Test Case 1:
 Test Case 2:

7. Write a function foo(x) to determine and return the number of 1s, 2s and 3s in the number
x. The program should work correctly for any number containing only the digits 1, 2 and
3. The output should look like as shown below. Follow the steps given in the algorithm
below. The first 3 steps in the algorithm below are for the function foo().

Algorithm

a. Store the number as a string in variable s

b. While iterating over variable s
If the character in s is 1, increase variable a by 1s
Else if the character in s is 2, increase variable b by 1
Else if the character in s is 3, increase variable c by 1
c. Return a, b and c.
d. Display the four lines as shown in the output below.

Test Case 1: The following output comes when a=”1233”

Test Case 2: The following output comes when a=”11112333”

 Test Case 3: The following output comes when a=”12213233”

8. You can hide a secret message in a piece of text by setting a specific character as a key.
Place the key before every letter in the message, then fill in extra (non-key) letters
between key-letter pairs to hide the message in noise. For example, to hide the message
"computer" with the key "q", you would start with "computer", turn it into
"qcqoqmqpquqtqeqr", and then add extra letters as noise, perhaps resulting in
"orupqcrzypqomqmhcyqpwhhqutqtxtqeyeqrpa". To get the original message back out,
copy every letter that occurs directly after the key, ignoring the rest.

Write a function getSecretMessage(s, key) that takes a piece of text holding a secret
message and the key to that message and returns the secret message itself. For example, if
we called the function on the long string above and "q", it would return "computer".

Test Case 1: The following output comes when

getSecretMessage(“qcqoqmqpquqtqeqr”,”q”) is called

Test Case 2: The following output comes when

getSecretMessage(“orupacrzypaomamhcyapwhhautatxtaeyearp”,”a”) is called

4. Using the algorithm shown below, write the function PrimeFactors(x) which takes a
positive integer x and prints all of its prime factors in a nice format. A prime factor is a
number that is both prime and evenly divides the original number (with no remainder).
So the prime factors of 70 are 2, 5, and 7, because 2 * 5 * 7 = 70. Note that 10 is not a
prime factor because it is not prime, and 3 is not a prime factor because it is not a factor
of 70. Prime factors can be repeated when the same factor divides the original number
multiple times; for example, the prime factors of 12 are 2, 2, and 3, because 2 and 3 are
both prime and 2 * 2 * 3 = 12. The prime factors of 16 are 2, 2, 2, and 2, because 2 * 2 *
2 * 2 = 16. We'll display repeated factors on a single line as a power expression; for
example, 16 would display 2 ** 4, because 2 is repeated four times. Here's a high-level
algorithm to solve this problem. Start by iterating through all possible factors. When you
find a viable factor, repeatedly divide the number by that factor until it no longer evenly
divides the number. Our algorithm (pseudocode) looks something like this:
1. Repeat the following procedure over all possible factors (2 to x)
a. If x is evenly divisible by the possible factor
i. Set a number count to be 0
ii. Repeat the following procedure until x is not divisible by the possible
factor
1. Set count to be count plus 1
2. Set x to x divided by the factor
iii. If the number count is exactly 1
1. Print the factor by itself
iv. If the number count is greater than 1
1. Print "f ** c", where f is the factor and c is the count

 2. Consider the following two functions, which all compute summations. The first,
sum_naturals, computes the sum of natural numbers up to n:
>>> def sum_naturals(n):
total, k = 0, 1
while k <= n:
total, k = total + k, k + 1
return total

>>> sum_naturals(100)
5050

The second, sum_cubes, computes the sum of the cubes of natural numbers up to n.
>>> def sum_cubes(n):
total, k = 0, 1
while k <= n:
total, k = total + k*k*k, k + 1
 return total

>>> sum_cubes(100)
25502500

These two functions clearly share a common underlying pattern. They are for the most part
identical, differing only in name and the function of k used to compute the term to be added.
We could generate each of the functions by filling in slots in the same template:

l
The presence of such a common pattern is strong evidence that there is a useful abstraction
waiting to be brought to the surface. Each of these functions is a summation of terms. As
program designers, we would like our language to be powerful enough so that we can write a
function that expresses the concept of summation itself rather than only functions that
compute particular sums. We can do so readily in Python by taking the common template
shown above and transforming the "slots" into formal parameters. Complete the above
program which should print
● summation of cubed integers upto n when summation(n,cube) is called, where n is
3 3 3
any integer. For example, summation(3,cube) should return 1 + 2 + 3 which is
36
● summation of natural integers upto n when summation(n,naturals) is called, where n
is any integer. For example, summation(3, naturals) should return 1 + 2 +3
which is 6.

3. Write a function mutliply_by(m) which takes in a number m and returns a function

multiply(n) that can take in a single integer n as a parameter. This returned function
multiply(n) should return the product of m and n when called. For example,
times_three(5) should print the product of 3 and 5. Alternatively, multiply_by could
be called directly to print the product of 3 and 10 as shown below. Note: Delete lines
89 to 91 before submitting the file.
4. Write a function make_keeper(n) that takes in a number n and returns a function that
can take in a single parameter cond. When we pass in some condition function cond
into this returned function, it will print out numbers from 1 to n where calling cond on
that number returns True. For example, calling make_keeper(6)(is_even) should print
all even numbers from 2 to 6. Note: Delete line 76 before submitting the file.
