Lab Problems-Python Functions

Recursive Functions
Concept Overview Video: https://youtu.be/ZdD3HGEejLU?si=dsaArfnpFbIyQaYt

Recursive Factorial Calculation


Write a recursive function to calculate the factorial of a given positive integer. Use it to find
the factorial of a user-provided number.
Example:
Input: `5`
Output: `120`

Fibonacci Sequence Generator


Create a recursive function that generates the nth Fibonacci number. The function should
also print all Fibonacci numbers up to that point.
Example:
Input: `5`
Output: `0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5`

Recursive Sum of Digits


Write a recursive function that computes the sum of the digits of a positive integer.
Example:
Input: `4321`
Output: `4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10`

Built-in Functions

Sum of Absolute Differences


Write a Python program that takes a list of integers as input and uses the `abs()` and `sum()`
built-in functions to compute the sum of the absolute differences between consecutive
elements in the list.
Example:
Input: [3, -5, 8, 2]
Output: `|3 - (-5)| + |-5 - 8| + |8 - 2| = 8 + 13 + 6 = 27`
User-Defined Functions

Simple Calculator
Implement a simple calculator using functions for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division. Allow the user to input the operation they want to perform, followed by two
numbers. Utilize default parameter values in one of the functions.
Example:
Input: 'Multiply 5 3'
Output: `15`

Additional Problems:

Character Frequency Counter


Create a function that takes a string as input and returns a dictionary where the keys are
characters, and the values are the frequency of their appearance. Use the `len()` and `ord()`
functions as part of the solution.
Example:
Input: 'hello'
Output: `{'h': 1, 'e': 1, 'l': 2, 'o': 1}`

Prime Checker with Arbitrary Arguments


Define a function that accepts an arbitrary number of integer arguments (`*args`) and
returns a list of those that are prime numbers.
Example:
Input: `prime_checker(2, 4, 5, 6, 7)`
Output: `[2, 5, 7]`
