The document contains two parts: the first part defines a function to calculate and print the circumference of a circle based on a given radius, while the second part defines a function to calculate the total price of purchased items with applicable discounts. The code includes examples of function calls and demonstrates how discounts are applied for different types of purchases. Additionally, it references various sources related to software development practices, pricing strategies, and user experience.

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.

Output:

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.
