 Nested loops
 Control Structure
 Uses of Break & Continue
Lab Assignments:
Q.1. Using for loop, write and run a Python program for this algorithm.
Here is an algorithm to print out n! (n factorial) from 0! to 10! :
1. Set f = 1
2. Set n = 0
3. Repeat the following 10 times:
a. Output n, "! = ", f
b. Add 1 to n
c. Multiply f by n

Q.2. Modify the program above using a while loop so it prints out all of the factorial values that are
less than 2 billion. (You should be able to do this without looking at the output of the previous
exercise.)

Session 4

Q. 2. A pangram is a sentence that contains all the letters of the English alphabet at least once, for
example: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Your task here is to write a function to check
a sentence to see if it is a pangram or not.

Session 5
Lecture
Dictionaries
 Introducing Dictionaries
 Defining Dictionaries
 Modifying Dictionaries
 Deleting Items from Dictionaries
Lab Assignments:
Q. 1. In cryptography, a Caesar cipher is a very simple encryption techniques in which each letter in
the plain text is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example,
with a shift of 3, A would be replaced by D, B would become E, and so on. The method is named
after Julius Caesar, who used it to communicate with his generals. ROT-13 ("rotate by 13 places")
is a widely used example of a Caesar cipher where the shift is 13. In Python, the key for ROT-13
may be represented by means of the following dictionary:

key = {'a':'n', 'b':'o', 'c':'p', 'd':'q', 'e':'r', 'f':'s', 'g':'t', 'h':'u', 'i':'v', 'j':'w', 'k':'x', 'l':'y', 'm':'z', 'n':'a', 'o':'b',
'p':'c', 'q':'d', 'r':'e', 's':'f', 't':'g', 'u':'h', 'v':'i', 'w':'j', 'x':'k', 'y':'l', 'z':'m', 'A':'N', 'B':'O', 'C':'P', 'D':'Q', 'E':'R',
'F':'S', 'G':'T', 'H':'U', 'I':'V', 'J':'W', 'K':'X', 'L':'Y', 'M':'Z', 'N':'A', 'O':'B', 'P':'C', 'Q':'D', 'R':'E', 'S':'F',
'T':'G', 'U':'H', 'V':'I', 'W':'J', 'X':'K', 'Y':'L', 'Z':'M'}

Your task in this exercise is to implement an encoder/decoder of ROT-13. Once you're done, you
will be able to read the following secret message:

Pnrfne pvcure? V zhpu cersre Pnrfne fnynq!

Note that since English has 26 characters, your ROT-13 program will be able to both encode and
decode texts written in English.

1. Find out how many students are in the list
2. Change Lisa’s favourite colour
3. Remove 'Jenny' and her favourite colour
4. Sort and print students and their favourite colours alphabetically by name

Write a function translate() that will translate a text into "rövarspråket" (Swedish for "robber's
language"). That is, double every consonant and place an occurrence of "o" in between. For
example, translate("this is fun") should return the string "tothohisosisosfofunon".

Q.2. Write a function filter_long_words() that takes a list of words and an integer n and returns the
list of words that are longer than n
