Question 11A (8 points)
Write a function named drawSquare. The function drawSquare takes two parameters:
1. a turtle, t
2. an integer, length, that is the length of a side of the square
The function drawSquare should use the turtle t to draw the square. It should begin drawing with the
turtle at its initial position and orientation. After drawing a side, the turtle should turn clockwise. When
drawSquare exits, the turtle should again be in its initial position and orientation. Do not make any
assumptions about the initial up/down state of the turtle, its position on the screen or its orientation.
You must use a loop for repeated operations.
import turtle
t = turtle.Turtle()
drawSquare(t, 100)

Question 11B (12 points)


Write a function named offsetSquares that uses turtle graphics and the function drawSquare in question
11A to draw a sequence of squares.
The function offsetSquares takes five parameters:
1. a turtle, t
2. an integer, length, that is the length of a side of a square
3. an integer num, the number of squares to draw
4. an integer xOffset, the offset parallel to the initial orientation relative to the previous square
5. an integer yOffset, the offset perpendicular to the initial orientation relative to the previous square
If offsetSquares is called by the following code, this would be correct output:
import turtle
t = turtle.Turtle()
offsetSquares(t, 100, 4, 20, 10)
Question 12 (20 points)
Write a function named indexByLength that takes one parameter:
• s, a string

The function indexByLength returns a dictionary in which each key is the length of a word in s and the
corresponding value is a list of all distinct words in s of that length. Even if a word occurs more than once
in s, it should appear in a value list only once. Treat the text as case sensitive (e.g., “Python” and “python”
are two different words). Assume, for simplicity, that s contains only letters, and spaces.
The following is correct sample output:
>>> text = 'I was indecisive but now I am not too sure'
>>> print(indexByLength(text))
{1:['I'], 3:['was', 'but', 'now', 'not', 'too'], 10:['indecisive'], 2:['am'], 4:['sure']}

Question 13 (20 points)


Write a function named cloneLines that takes two parameters:
1. inFile, a string, the name of an input file that exists before cloneLines is called
2. outFile, a string, the name of an output file that cloneLines creates and writes to

The function cloneLines reads the content of inFile, line by line, and writes into outFile any line that
contains at least one word that occurs more than once on the line. You may assume that the input file
contains only lowercase letters, spaces and newline characters.
For example, if the following is the content of the file william.txt:
double double toil and trouble
fire burn and caldron bubble

eye of newt and toe of frog


fillet of a fenny snake
in the caldron boil and bake

double double toil and trouble


fire burn and caldron bubble

The following function call:


>>> inFile = 'william.txt'
>>> outFile = 'clones.txt'
>>> cloneLines(inFile, outFile)

should create the file clones.txt with the content:


double double toil and trouble
eye of newt and toe of frog
double double toil and trouble
