Instructions » Read carefully

1) The exam duration is 1 hour and 50 minutes. So, read the exam questions
carefully and plan your time accordingly.
2) Solve the questions using Visual Studio Code by creating a .py file and
writing your code in it.
3) Copy your .py programs (source code) to a new folder. And name your
folder as follows: (Your Name-id). Compress (zip) your folder and upload it
to the exam link on blackboard.
4) Save regularly to avoid unpleasant surprises, as a computer hang or
program shutdown L.
5) You will receive 0 points in case of plagiarism.

Question 1:

Write a loop that calculates the total of the following series of numbers:

5 6 7 50
+ + + ⋯ +
50 49 48 5
total = 0
j = 50
for i in range(5,51):
total+=(i/j)
j-=1
print("Total=",total)

22 marks

Question 2:

Write a function unit_split that receives a list of numbers and returns two lists:
one includes only tenths (numbers from 0 to 99 ,including both numbers) and the
other one includes only hundreds (numbers from 100 to 999, including both
numbers).

• Test the unit_split function in a main program using the following list:
[5,200,60,342,192,0,15,999]
• Display the output (i.e., print the list of tenths and hundreds) in your main
program.
def unit_split(numbers):
tenths = []
hundreds = []
for i in numbers:
if 0<=i<=99:
tenths.append(i)
else:
hundreds.append(i)
return tenths, hundreds

 def main():
numbers = [5,200,60,342,192,0,15,999]
tenths,hundreds = unit_split(numbers)
print("Tenths:",tenths)
print("Hundreds:",hundreds)
main()

26 marks
Question 3:

Write a program with a function digitMultiplier that takes a string as an

argument, searches for single digits in the string (except zero), then multiplies the
digits and return the multiplication. In a main function, ask the user to enter a
series of characters and single-digit numbers with nothing separating them. The
program should display the multiplication of all the single digit numbers in the
string. For example, if the user enters 0hello25there14, the method should return
40, which is the multiplication of 2, 5, 1, and 4.

Hint: You can use the built-in function isdigit

def digitMultiplier(string):
p = 1
for ch in string:
if ch.isdigit() and int(ch) != 0:
p*=int(ch)
return p

def main():
string = input("Enter a string:")
result = digitMultiplier(string)
print(result)
main()

Question 4:

The file “cars.txt” contains cars’ records where every car model is followed by it’s
horsepower and price as follows:
model(string)\nhorsepower(integer)\nprice(integer)

Write a python program that performs the following tasks:

• Write a function called process_list(file_name) that reads the car prices
into a list called prices.
• Print the average price of all the cars in the file.
• Print the average price for all toyota cars in the file.
• Print the average price for all cars with horsepower > 100.
def process_list(file_name):
inFile = open(file_name,"r")
model = inFile.readline().strip()
prices = []
priceToyota = []
price100 = []
while model != '':
horsepower = int(inFile.readline().strip())
price = int(inFile.readline().strip())
if horsepower > 100:
price100.append(price)
if model == 'toyota':
priceToyota.append(price)
prices.append(price)
model = inFile.readline().strip()

inFile.close()
print("Average price of all cars:",sum(prices)/len(prices))
print("Average price of all Toyota cars:",sum(priceToyota)/len(priceToyota))
print("Average price of all cars with horsepower >
100:",sum(price100)/len(price100))

process_list('cars.txt')
