Practice Assignment # 2

1. Write a function named isIn that accepts two strings as arguments and returns True if either
string occurs anywhere in the other as a substring, and False otherwise. Hint: you might
want to use the built-in str operation in.

2. Write a function primeFactor that takes one parameter as its argument and obtain the prime
factors of the number. Hint: Find all the prime number that multiply together to make the
original number. e.g. prime factors of 15 are 5 and 3.

3. Take an integer number as an input from user, write a function that checks weather a given
number is Armstrong or not. Hint: If sum of the cubes of each digit of the number is equal to
the number itself, then the number is called an Armstrong number. For example, 153 = (1 * 1
* 1) + (5 * 5 * 5) + (3 * 3 * 3)

4. Write a function to find the octal equivalent of the given number. For example: the octal
equivalent of 50 is 62.

5. Write your own Range function that take three parameters (start, stop and step) as an input
and return the list of integer numbers.

6. Write a function binary2Decimal that take binary number as input and return decimal
equivalent of the given number.

7. Write a function Multiple that considers a pair of integers and determines whether the
second integer is the multiple of the first or not. The function should take two integers as
arguments and return True if the second is a multiple of the first, and False otherwise.
8. Write a function that displays a solid square of a character whose side and the character to be
printed are specified in integer and character as the function parameters. For example, if side
is 5 and character is ‘#’, the function should display:

#####
#####
#####
#####
#####

9. Implement the following integer functions:


i. A Function Celsius that returns the Celsius equivalent of a Fahrenheit temperature.
ii. A Function Fahrenheit returns the Fahrenheit equivalent of a Celsius temperature.
iii. Use these functions to write a program that prints charts showing the Fahrenheit
equivalents of all Celsius temperatures from 0 to 100 degrees, and the Celsius equivalents
of all Fahrenheit temperatures from 32 to 212 degrees. Print the outputs in a tabular format
that minimizes the number of lines of output while remaining readable.

10. An integer number is said to be a perfect number if its factors, including 1 (but not the
number itself), sums up to the number. For example, 6 is a perfect number because 6 = 1 + 2
+ 3. Write a function perfect that determines whether parameter number is a perfect number.
Use this function in a program that determines and prints all the perfect numbers between 1
and 1000.

11. Write a program that simulates coin tossing. For each toss of the coin, the program should
print Heads or Tails. Let the program toss the coin 100 times, and count the number of times
each side of the coin appears and then print the results. The program should call a separate
function flip that takes no arguments and returns 0 for tails and 1 for heads. Note: To get
random 1 or 0 you can import a random module and then use random.randint(0,1)

12. Declare a list of 10 random integers and then find mean, median and mode of integers.

13. Declare a list of 20 integers that has duplicate numbers, write a program to delete duplicate
numbers from list.

14. Write a function that takes a tuple of 10 number as a parameter and return the minimum of all
the numbers.
15. Write a program that take 10-time, name (string) and marks (integer) as an input from the
user. Populate a list such that all even indices have name and odd indices with the
corresponding marks. e.g. [‘Ahmad’, 29, ‘Asad’, 15, ‘Zainab’, 20]. At the end print the list.
Hint: You can use append function of list data type.

16. Implement a program that starts by asking the user to enter a login id (i.e., a string). The
program then checks whether the id entered by the user is in the list ['Ahmad', 'Zainab',
'Hina', 'Ali'] of valid users. Depending on the outcome, an appropriate message should be
printed. Regardless of the outcome, your function should print “Done” before terminating.
Here is an example of a successful login:

>>>
Login: Ali
You are in!
Done.

17. Take a name (i.e., a string) as an input from the user and insert it into a list, then pass this list
to a function swap that exchange the first and last values of list. After swapping print the
resultant list.

18. Write a for loop that iterates over a list of strings myList and prints the first three characters
of every word. e.g. If myList is the list ['January', 'February', 'March'] thenthe following
should be printed:

Jan
Feb
Mar
19. Write a twoDlist function that perform 3×3 matrix multiplication. e.g.

20. Write a program that requests an integer n from the user and append the squares of all
numbers from 0 up to, but not including, n. At the end print the list.

>>>
Enter n: 4
[0, 1, 4, 9]

21. Implement a function ion2e() that takes a string as input and returns a copy of the string with
the following change: if the entered word (input string) ends in 'ion', then 'ion' is replaced
with 'e', otherwise it returns the same word.

>>> ion2e(“congratulation”)
“congratulate”
>>> ion2e(“marathon”)
“marathon”
