PART 1
# Function to calculate and print the circumference of a circle
def print_circum(radius):
"""
This function calculates the circumference of a circle given its radius.
Formula: Circumference = 2 * π * radius
"""
# Define π rounded to five decimal places
pi = 3.14159
# Calculate the circumference using the formula
circumference = 2 * pi * radius
# Print the calculated circumference formatted to two decimal places
print(f"The circumference of a circle with radius {radius} is: {circumference:.2f}")
# Call the function with three different radius values
print_circum(5) # Test case 1: Radius = 5
print_circum(10) # Test case 2: Radius = 10
print_circum(20) # Test case 3: Radius = 20
Explanation of the Code
1. Function Definition: The function print_circum is defined to take one
parameter, radius, which represents the radius of the circle.
2. Docstring: The docstring explains what the function does and provides the formula used
for calculating the circumference.
3. π Definition: The value of π is defined as 3.14159, which is rounded to five decimal
places.
4. Circumference Calculation: The circumference of the circle is calculated using the
formula ( C = 2 \pi r ), where r is the radius passed to the function.
5. Output: The result is printed in a formatted string that shows the radius and the
calculated circumference, rounded to two decimal places for clarity.
6. Function Calls: The function is called three times with different radius values (5, 10, and
20) to demonstrate its functionality.

Explanation of Features Illustrated by the Function
1. Function Definition: The function calculate_total_price is defined to take two
parameters: a dictionary of item prices and a list of items purchased.
2. Price Calculation: The total price is calculated by summing the prices of the items in
the items_purchased list.
3. Discount Application:
If the customer purchases two unique items, a 10% discount is applied.
If the customer purchases a gift pack (all three items), a 25% discount is applied.
4. Return Value: The function returns the total price after applying any applicable
discounts.
5. Example Purchases: The code demonstrates three different types of purchases:
An individual purchase with no discount.
A combo purchase with two items, applying a 10% discount.
A gift pack purchase with all three items, applying a 25% discount.
6. Formatted Output: The results are printed in a formatted manner, showing the total
prices for each type of purchase.
