n=int(input("Enter a positive number: ")) # assuming integers are entered
while i<=n:
if i%2==1:
count+=1
i+=1
print(" You have", count, "odd numbers from",0,"to",n) # or just print(count)

or any equivalent code

Question 6: [8 marks]
Given a Python program that compares two lists, list1 and list2, to find and print
elements in list2 that are doubles of elements in list1. Additionally, the program
includes an operation to square each element in list1 and then append the squared
values to list1.
Here's the initial code with intentional four errors. Identify and correct the errors to
achieve the specified objective:

list1 = [3, 5, 7, 10, 8]

list2 = [6, 10, 14, 20, 16]
doubles_list = []
for i in range(len(list1))
for j in range(len(list2)):
if list2[j] = list1[i] * 2:
doubles_list.append(list2[i])
for i in range(len(list1)):
list1.append(list1[i] * 2)
print("Elements in list2 that are doubles of elements in list1:", doubles_list)
print("Squared values of elements in list1 added:", list1)

Answer: (8 marks)

list1 = [3, 5, 7, 10, 8]

list2 = [6, 10, 14, 20, 16]
doubles_list = []
for i in range(len(list1)):
for j in range(len(list2)):
if list2[j] == list1[i] * 2:
doubles_list.append(list2[j])
M110 / Final Page 5 of 10 2023/2024 Spring
for i in range(len(list1)):
list1.append(list1[i] ** 2)
print("Elements in list2 that are doubles of elements in list1:", doubles_list)
print("Squared values of elements in list1 added:", list1)

PART 3: Programming/Problem Solving Questions [40 Marks]

Question 1: [10 marks]
Write a function that takes a list of integers as an argument and returns the second
largest element in the list. The function should also return a proper message if the
length of the list is less than 2.
N.B: You can use any method/function.
Answer:
def find_second_largest(numbers):
if len(numbers) < 2:
return "List must contain at least two elements to
find the second-largest element."
else:
numbers.sort()
return numbers[-2]

Question 2: [10 marks]

Consider the incomplete Python program that should display the following window:

You are requested to write the following hidden commands, after carefully reading
the whole program , so that you properly use the variables:
1- Display the title.
2- Create two frames, one for the top of the window, and one for the bottom.
3- Pack the labels that are in the top frame.
4- Pack the frames.
5- Create the instance my_gui of the class.
N.B: Just write the code after indicating the part that you are answering.

from tkinter import *

class Grades:
def __init__(self):
# Create the main window widget.
self.root = Tk()
#Display a title.
self.root.title("Grades")
# Create two frames, one for the top, and one for the bottom.
self.top_frame = Frame(self.root)
self.bottom_frame = Frame(self.root)

M110 / Final Page 6 of 10 2023/2024 Spring

 # Create three Label widgets for the top frame.
self.label1 = Label(self.top_frame,text='Math')
self.label2 = Label(self.top_frame,text='Python')
self.label3 = Label(self.top_frame,text='English')
# Pack the labels that are in the top frame.
self.label1.pack(side='top')
self.label2.pack(side='top')
self.label3.pack(side='top')
# Create three Label widgets for the bottom frame.
self.label4 = Label(self.bottom_frame,text='Math Average')
self.label5 = Label(self.bottom_frame,text='Python Average')
self.label6 = Label(self.bottom_frame,text='English Average')
# Pack the labels that are in the bottom frame.
self.label4.pack(side='left')
self.label5.pack(side='left')
self.label6.pack(side='left')
#Pack the frames
self.top_frame.pack()
self.bottom_frame.pack()
# Enter the tkinter main loop.
mainloop()
# Create an instance of the class.
my_gui = Grades()

Answer: (10 marks: 2 marks for each part)

1- (2 marks)
self.root.title("Grades")
2- (2 marks)
self.top_frame = Frame(self.root)
self.bottom_frame = Frame(self.root)
3- (2 marks: the answer is accepted if the student did not include side {default is top})
self.label1.pack(side='top')
self.label2.pack(side='top')
self.label3.pack(side='top')

Question 3: [10 marks]

Answer the following questions:
a. Write a Python code that creates the below file.

M110 / Final Page 7 of 10 2023/2024 Spring

 b. Write a Python code that reads the above file lines into a list and produces the
following output.
List of Lines from the File:
['Nader Ballout', 'Abir Ahmad', 'Nadia Abdullah', 'Fadi Salem']

Answer: (10 marks: 5+5)

a. (5 marks)

myfile = open('Std_Name.txt', 'w') # 1.5 marks

# Write my data to the file. # 3 marks
#Students can use also 4 write statements instead of using a loop
num=int(input("Enter the number of lines you want to enter: "))
for i in range(num):
line=input("Enter the line: ")
myfile.write(line+'\n')
# Close the file.
myfile.close() # 0.5 mark

b. (5 marks)

Solution #1:
# Open the file in read mode
myfile = open('Std_Name.txt', 'r') # 1.5 marks
# Initialize an empty list to store lines
lines_list = []
# Read the lines # 2.5 marks
line = myfile.readline()
while line:
# Append the line to the list
lines_list.append(line.rstrip('\n'))
# Read the next line
line = myfile.readline()
# Close the file
myfile.close()
# Print the list of lines # 1 mark
print("List of Lines from the File:")
print(lines_list)

Solution #2:
# Open the file in read mode
myfile = open('Std_Name.txt', 'r') #1.5 marks
M110 / Final Page 8 of 10 2023/2024 Spring
# Initialize an empty list to store lines
lines_list = []
# Read the lines # 2.5 marks
for i in range(4):
line = myfile.readline()
# Append the line to the list
lines_list.append(line.rstrip("\n"))
# Close the file
myfile.close()
# Print the list of lines # 1 mark
print("List of Lines from the File:")
print(lines_list)

Solution #3:
f=open('Std_Name.txt',"r") # 1.5 marks
content_list = f.readlines() # 1.5 marks
# remove new line characters # 1 mark
for i in range(len(content_list)):
content_list[i]= content_list[i].strip()
# Print the list of lines # 1 mark
print("List of Lines from the File:")
print(content_list)

Question 4: [10 marks]

Develop a Python program that:
1. Defines a class called Rectangle with an initializer that takes the
length and width as parameters.
2. Includes a Perimeter() method to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle.
3. Includes an Area() method to calculate the area of the rectangle.
4. Includes a method display() that displays the length, width, perimeter and
area.
5. Instantiate the class with the expected values (say 7 and 5) and write the
necessary statement(s) to display length, width, perimeter and area of the
rectangle.
N.B: The perimeter of the rectangle=2(length + width), and the area=
length*width.

Answer: (10 marks: 2 marks for each part)

class Rectangle:
# define constructor with attributes: length and width 2
marks
def __init__(self, length , width):
self.length = length
self.width = width

# Create Perimeter method 2 marks

def Perimeter(self):
return 2*(self.length + self.width)

M110 / Final Page 9 of 10 2023/2024 Spring

 # Create area method 2 marks
def Area(self):
return self.length*self.width
# create display method 2 marks
def display(self):
print("The length of rectangle is: ", self.length)
print("The width of rectangle is: ", self.width)
print("The perimeter of rectangle is: ",
self.Perimeter())
print("The area of rectangle is: ", self.Area())

# Instantiation and display 2 marks

myRectangle = Rectangle(7 , 5)
myRectangle.display()
