different instructions and built-in data structures available in Python.

105
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Develop, document, and debug modular python programs to solve computational problems.
2. Select a suitable programming construct and data structure for a situation.
3. Use built-in strings, lists, sets, tuples and dictionary in applications.
4. Define classes and use them in applications.
5. Use files for I/O operations.

4. Write a function that takes the lengths of three sides: side1, side2 and side3 of the
triangle as the input from the user using input function and return the area of the
triangle as the output. Also, assert that sum of the length of any two sides is greater
than the third side.
5. Consider a showroom of electronic products, where there are various salesmen. Each
salesman is given a commission of 5%, depending on the sales made per month. In case
the sale done is less than 50000, then the salesman is not given any commission. Write
a function to calculate total sales of a salesman in a month, commission and remarks
for the salesman. Sales done by each salesman per week is to be provided as input.
Assign remarks according to the following criteria:
Excellent: Sales >=80000
Good: Sales>=60000 and <80000
Average: Sales>=40000 and <60000
Work Hard: Sales < 40000

factorial.
7. Write a Python function to return nth terms of Fibonacci sequence
8. Write a function that takes a number with two or more digits as an input and finds its
reverse and computes the sum of its digits.
9. Write a function that takes two numbers as input parameters and returns their least
common multiple and highest common factor.
10. Write a function that takes a number as an input and determine whether it is prime or
not.
11. Write a function that finds the sum of the n terms of the following series:
a) 1 x2 /2! + x4 /4! x6 n
/n!

107
 b) 1 + x2 /2! + x4 /4! + x6 n
/n!
12. Write a Python function that takes two strings as an input from the user and counts the
number of matching characters in the given pair of strings.
13. Write a Python function that takes a string as an input from the user and displays its
reverse.
14. Write a Python function that takes a string as an input from the user and determines
whether it is palindrome or not.
15. Write a Python function to calculate the sum and product of two compatible matrices
16. Write a function that takes a list of numbers as input from the user and produces the
corresponding cumulative list where each element in the list present at index i is the
sum of elements at index j <= i.
17. Write a function that takes n as an input and creates a list of n lists such that ith list
contains first five multiples of i.
18. Write a function that takes a sentence as input from the user and calculates the
frequency of each letter. Use a variable of dictionary type to maintain the count.
19. Write a Python function that takes a dictionary of word:meaning pairs as an input from
the user and creates an inverted dictionary of the form meaning:list-of-words.
20. Usage of Python debugger tool-pydb and PythonTutor.
21. Implementation of Linear and binary search techniques
22. Implementation of selection sort, insertion sort, and bubble sort techniques
23. Write a menu-driven program to create mathematical 3D objects
Curve, Sphere, Cone, Arrow, Ring, Cylinder.
24. Write a program that makes use of a function to accept a list of n integers and
displays a histogram.
25. Write a program that makes use of a function to display sine, cosine, polynomial and
exponential curves.
26. Write a program that makes use of a function to plot a graph of people with pulse rate
p vs. height h. The values of p and h are to be entered by the user.
27. Write a function that reads a file file1 and displays the number of words and the
number of vowels in the file.
28. Write a Python function that copies the content of one file to another.
29. Write a function that reads a file file1 and copies only alternative lines to another file
file2. Alternative lines copied should be the odd numbered lines.
