cs115 Lab03 v1

This document outlines 3 questions for a Python programming lab assignment on functions. Q1 involves writing functions to check if a word is an isogram and output the results. Q2 involves writing functions to convert text using a key mapping characters, and count numeric characters. Q3 involves writing functions to generate terms of star number and square pyramidal number sequences and get user input to select and output a sequence.

CS 115 - Introduction to Programming in Python

Lab 03

Lab Objectives: Functions

Notes:
● Upload your solutions as a single .zip file to the Lab03 assignment for your section on
Moodle. You must use the following naming convention: Lab03_Surname_FirstName.zip
where Surname is your family name and FirstName is your first name
● You should not use lists, tuples, dictionaries in your solution.
● For each of the functions below, you should include a docstring comment. The docstring
should have the following format:
"""
Summary of what the function is for
Parameters:
param1 (param1 type): Description of param1
Returns:
type: variable/value
"""

Q1: Write a script, Lab03_Q1.py, that does the following:


a. A word in which no letter of the alphabet occurs more than once is called an isogram.
Write a function repeated_letter that takes a word and returns the first repeating
letter.
b. Write a program that inputs a word, and using the above function, displays an
appropriate message explaining why the word entered is an isogram or not.

Sample Run 1: (User inputs are in red)


Enter a word: flowcharting
This word is an isogram. Each letter occurs once.

Sample Run 2: (User inputs are in red)


Enter a word: questionable
Since the letter 'e' occurs repeatedly, it is not an isogram.

Sample Run 3: (User inputs are in red)


Enter a word: programming
Since the letter 'r' occurs repeatedly, it is not an isogram.
Q2: Write a script, Lab03_Q2.py, that converts a given string using the key given below.

Copy the line below in your program and use it as a global variable.

KEY = "a@bpdqi!l1mwnuo0s5t+z2A4B8E3G6WM"

a. Write a function, convert_char, which takes a character as a parameter and returns


the converted version using the key. The black characters are converted to the following
red characters. For instance, if the character 'a' is passed as a parameter, the function
returns the '@' character, for 'b', it will return 'p'. Note: the character 'p' WILL NOT be
converted to the character 'd'. If the character is not found in the KEY it should be
returned without conversion.
b. Write a function, convert_text, which takes a string as a parameter and, using the
convert_char function, converts the given string. For instance, 'Trials' should be
converted to 'Tr!@15' as the return value.
c. Write a function, numerics_count, which takes a string as a parameter and returns
the count of numeric characters in it. E.g. For the text 'Tr!@15', it should return 2.
d. Your program should display appropriate messages as shown in the sample runs below.

Sample Run 1: Enter a phrase for conversion: Funniest Game


(User inputs are Text you entered: 'Funniest Game'
in red) After conversion: 'Fuuu!e5+ 6@we'

Sample Run 2: Enter a phrase for conversion: barbeque party


(User inputs are Text you entered: 'barbeque party'
in red) After conversion: 'p@rpeque p@r+y'
!! Attention !! There is no number in this text

Sample Run 3: Enter a phrase for conversion: published quote


Text you entered: 'published quote'
After conversion: 'pup1!5heq qu0+e'

Sample Run 4: Enter a phrase for conversion: R2D2 & C3PO


Text you entered: 'R2D2 & C3PO'
After conversion: 'R2D2 & C3PO'
No conversion happened.

Sample Run 5: Enter a phrase for conversion:


No phrase entered.
Q3: Write a script, Lab03_Q3.py, that includes the following:

a. A function, star_number,that returns the nth member of the Star Numbers sequence
using the formula below:
𝑓(𝑛) = 6 𝑛(𝑛 − 1) + 1
b. A function, square_pyr_number, which returns the nth member of the Square
Pyramidal Numbers sequence using the formula below:
𝑛(𝑛+1)(2𝑛+1)
𝑓(𝑛) = 6
c. A function show_options which displays the menu shown below:
*** SEQUENCES ***
1. Star Numbers
2. Square Pyramidal Numbers
d. A function, select_sequence,that inputs a selection from the user (either 1 or 2). If
user input is invalid, the function displays a message and keeps prompting for input until
a valid choice is made. The function should return the user’s choice. (Optional: You can
consider returning functions instead of integer values.)
e. Using the functions defined above, write a program to generate the first 10 values of the
selected number sequence. See the sample runs below.

Sample Run 1: (User inputs are in red) Sample Run 3: (User inputs are in red)

*** SEQUENCES *** *** SEQUENCES ***


1. Star Numbers 1. Star Numbers
2. Square Pyramidal Numbers 2. Square Pyramidal Numbers

What is your choice? 1 What is your choice? 3


1 13 37 73 121 181 253 337 433 541 Valid options are 1 or 2.
*** SEQUENCES ***
Sample Run 2: (User inputs are in red) 1. Star Numbers
2. Square Pyramidal Numbers
*** SEQUENCES ***
1. Star Numbers Re-enter your choice: 1
2. Square Pyramidal Numbers 1 13 37 73 121 181 253 337 433
541
What is your choice? 2
1 5 14 30 55 91 140 204 285 385
