Problem Statements

1. Input the base (b) and height (h) of a triangle and calculate its area where
Area of triangle =0.5* b * h

Solution

b=float(input("enter base"))
h=float(input("enter height"))
area=0.5*b*h
print("area is", area)

Explanation

This code calculates the area of a triangle using the formula: Area = 0.5 * base * height.

1. The code first prompts the user to input the base and height of the triangle using
float(input()), which converts the input into a floating-point number.
2. The inputs are stored in variables b (base) and h (height).
3. The area is calculated using the formula 0.5 * b * h and stored in the variable area.
4. Finally, the code prints the calculated area to the console using print("area is", area).

2. You are traveling to Kenya, if 1 Kenyan shilling = 0.65 Indian rupee. Calculate how many
shillings you will have based on the input in Indian Rupees.

Solution

A=float(input("enter indian rupees"))

Y=0.65*A
print("currency",Y)

Explanation

This code converts Indian Rupees (INR) to Kenyan shilling based on a fixed exchange
rate.

Here's how it works:

1. The user is prompted to input an amount in Indian Rupees using float(input()).

2. The input amount is multiplied by 0.65 (an exchange rate) and stored in variable Y.
3. The result is then printed to the console, representing the equivalent amount in

3. A grocery store offers a 10% discount on all purchases. Write a program that asks the
user for the total amount of their purchase, applies the discount and prints the total.
Solution

a=float(input("amount"))
b=a-(a*0.1)
print("amount to bepaid",b)

Explanation

This code calculates the amount to be paid after applying a 10% discount.

1. The user inputs the original amount.

2. The code calculates the discount (10% of the original amount) by multiplying the input
amount a by 0.1.
3. The discount is subtracted from the original amount, resulting in the amount to be paid,
stored in variable b.

Example output:

Amount: 100
Amount to be paid: 90.0

Solution

a=float(input("enter the bill amount"))

b=float(input ("enter number of
friends"))
c=a/b
print("amount to be paid",c)

Explanation

This code calculates and displays the amount each person needs to pay when splitting a bill
evenly among friends.

1. The user inputs the total bill amount (a) and the number of friends (b).
2. The code divides the bill amount by the number of friends (c = a/b) to calculate the
individual share.
3. The result is printed, showing the amount each friend needs to pay.

of workers m. Write a program to calculate the amount of work for each worker and how
much extra work is left. Take input for no. of work and no. of workers.

eg: n =
100 m
=6

work on each worker = 16

extra work left = 4

Solution

a=float(input("total work")) b=float(input("no

of workers"))
c=a/b
y=a%b

Explanation:

This code divides a total amount of work among a specified number of workers and
calculates any remaining work.

1. The user inputs the total work (a) and the number of workers (b).

2. The code divides the total work by the number of workers (c = a/b) to determine each
worker's share.

3. The remainder (y = a%b) calculates any work left over after dividing.

7. Tiling of a rectangular floor is performed. Write a program that calculates the number
of tiles required and the total cost to tile the entire floor. Take the dimensions of the floor
and the size and price of each tile as input from the user. Also consider labor charges.

Input:

Length of the floor (l_f - float)

Width of the floor (w_f - float)
Size of each tile (a - float) - assume it is a square tail
Cost per tile (p_pt - float) labor
charge per unit area (l_cost - float
Output:
Maximum number of tiles required (int)
Total cost of tiling the floor (float)

Solution

l_f=float(input("enter the length of the floor:"))

b_f=float(input("enter the breadth of the floor:"))
a=float(input("enter size of each tile:")) p_pt=float(input("enter
price of each tile:")) l_cost=float(input("enter labor cost (per
unit area):"))

area_floor=l_f*b_f
area_tile=a*a

total_tiles=0

if area_floor%area_tile==0:
total_tiles=area_floor//area_tile+1

total_cost=total_tiles*p_pt+area_floor*l_cost
print("total tiles:",total_tiles) print("total
cost:",total_cost)

Explanation

This code calculates the number of tiles needed and the total cost for tiling a floor. It
prompts the user to input the floor's dimensions, tile size, tile price, and labor cost per
unit area. It calculates the total floor area and the area covered by a single tile, then
determines the number of tiles needed. Finally, it computes the total cost, which includes
the cost of tiles and labor, and prints both the total number of tiles and the overall cost.

D and E in ratio of 2:1 and B uses the ratio of 4:3, calculate the mass of the compound if
each generates a 1 mole gram of substance given that the mass of D is 1 unit(amu) and
E is 5 units(amu). Take the values from the user. Hint - Consider using split() method on
the input string eg-
"1:2".split(":") # [‘1’,’2’] a,b = "1:2".split(":") # a <- '1' ;
b <- ‘2 a,b = int(a), int(b) # type casting char/string

9. Given a 4 digit integer no. , display the individual digit & compute the sum of digits.

Solution

n=int(input("enter a four digit number="))

a= int(n/1000) b= int(n/100)-a*10
c=int(n/10)-(b*10)-(a*100)
d= n%10
print(a,b,c,d)
print("Sum of digits is”,a+b+c+d)
Explanation

This code extracts and sums the digits of a four-digit number input by the user. It
calculates each digit by using division and modulus operations: `a` for the thousands, `b`
for the hundreds, `c` for the tens, and `d` for the units. The digits are printed separately,
followed by their sum. Finally, it outputs the total sum of the digits.

This code calculates and displays a person's age in months, days, and hours based on
their inputted age in years. It multiplies the age by 12 to find the number of months, 365
for the number of days, and 365 multiplied by 24 for the number of hours. Each
calculated value is then printed to the console. The code provides a simple way to
convert years into different time units.

12. Imagine you've just opened a savings account at your local bank. You're curious how
much interest you'll earn after a few years. Write a Python program that calculates the

Explanation

This code converts a temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. It

prompts the user to input the temperature in Celsius as a floating-point number. The
conversion is performed using the formula F=(C*9/5+32). Finally, it prints the resulting
temperature in Fahrenheit.

14. You’re baking a cake, but the recipe you’re following is for 12 servings, and you need to
make enough for a different number of people. Write a Python program that takes the
number of servings you want to make and adjusts the ingredients accordingly. If the
recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar for 12 servings, calculate how many cups of sugar you'll
need for the number of servings entered by the user.

Solution

num_servings=int(input('NUMBER OF SERVINGS='))
n= num_servings/6
print("cups of sugar needed is", n)
 Department of CSE, PES University
UE24CS151A-Python for Computational Problem Solving
LaboratoryWeek3

Explanation

This code calculates the amount of sugar needed based on the number of servings
provided by the user. It prompts the user to input the number of servings as an integer.
We know that that every 6 servings require 1 cup of sugar, so it divides the number of
servings by 6 to find the cups needed. Finally, it prints the calculated amount of sugar
required.

Solution

a=int(input("no of pizzas is="))

b=int(input("no of slices per pizza is"))

c=int(input("no of people in the party is"))

Explanation

This code calculates how many pizza slices each person at a party will receive and how
many slices will remain. It tells the user to input the number of pizzas, slices per pizza,
and the number of people attending. The total number of slices is divided by the number
of people to determine the slices per person, while the remainder gives the leftover
slices. it prints both the number of slices per person and the remaining slices.
