Questions

Question 1

Write a function that takes amount-in-dollars and dollar-to-rupee


conversion price; it then returns the amount converted to rupees.
Create the function in both void and non-void forms.

Solution

def convert_dollars_to_rupees(amount_in_dollars, conversion_rate):


amount_in_rupees = amount_in_dollars * conversion_rate
return amount_in_rupees

def convert_dollars_to_rupees_void(amount_in_dollars,
conversion_rate):
amount_in_rupees = amount_in_dollars * conversion_rate
print("Amount in rupees:", amount_in_rupees)

amount = float(input("Enter amount in dollars "))


conversion_rate = float(input("Enter conversion rate "))

# Non-void function call


converted_amount = convert_dollars_to_rupees(amount, conversion_rate)
print("Converted amount (non-void function):", converted_amount)

# Void function call


convert_dollars_to_rupees_void(amount, conversion_rate)

Output

Enter amount in dollars 50


Enter conversion rate 74.5
Converted amount (non-void function): 3725.0
Amount in rupees: 3725.0

Enter amount in dollars 100


Enter conversion rate 75
Converted amount (non-void function): 7500.0
Amount in rupees: 7500.0

Question 2

Write a function to calculate volume of a box with appropriate


default values for its parameters. Your function should have the
following input parameters :

(a) length of box ;

(b) width of box ;

(c) height of box.

Test it by writing complete program to invoke it.

Solution

def calculate_volume(length = 5, width = 3, height = 2):


return length * width * height

default_volume = calculate_volume()
print("Volume of the box with default values:", default_volume)

v = calculate_volume(10, 7, 15)
print("Volume of the box with default values:", v)

a = calculate_volume(length = 23, height = 6)


print("Volume of the box with default values:", a)

b = calculate_volume(width = 19)
print("Volume of the box with default values:", b)

Output

Volume of the box with default values: 30


Volume of the box with default values: 1050
Volume of the box with default values: 414
Volume of the box with default values: 190

Question 3
Write a program to have following functions :

(i) a function that takes a number as argument and calculates cube


for it. The function does not return a value. If there is no value
passed to the function in function call, the function should calculate
cube of 2.

(ii) a function that takes two char arguments and returns True if
both the arguments are equal otherwise False.

Test both these functions by giving appropriate function call


statements.

Solution

# Function to calculate cube of a number


def calculate_cube(number = 2):
cube = number ** 3
print("Cube of", number, "is", cube)

# Function to check if two characters are equal


def check_equal_chars(char1, char2):
return char1 == char2

calculate_cube(3)
calculate_cube()

char1 = 'a'
char2 = 'b'
print("Characters are equal:", check_equal_chars(char1, char1))
print("Characters are equal:", check_equal_chars(char1, char2))

Output

Cube of 3 is 27
Cube of 2 is 8
Characters are equal: True
Characters are equal: False

Question 4
Write a function that receives two numbers and generates a
random number from that range. Using this function, the main
program should be able to print three numbers randomly.

Solution

import random

def generate_random_number(num1, num2):


low = min(num1, num2)
high = max(num1, num2)
return random.randint(low, high)

num1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))


num2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))

for i in range(3):
random_num = generate_random_number(num1, num2)
print("Random number between", num1, "and", num2, ":",
random_num)

Output

Enter the first number: 2


Enter the second number: 78
Random number between 2 and 78 : 77
Random number between 2 and 78 : 43
Random number between 2 and 78 : 52

Enter the first number: 100


Enter the second number: 599
Random number between 100 and 599 : 187
Random number between 100 and 599 : 404
Random number between 100 and 599 : 451

Question 5

Write a function that receives two string arguments and checks


whether they are same-length strings (returns True in this case
otherwise False).

Solution
def same_length_strings(str1, str2):
return len(str1) == len(str2)

s1 = "hello"
s2 = "world"
s3 = "python"

print(same_length_strings(s1, s2))
print(same_length_strings(s1, s3))

Output

True
False

Question 6

Write a function namely nthRoot( ) that receives two parameters x


and n and returns nth root of x i.e., x^(1/n).
The default value of n is 2.

Solution

def nthRoot(x, n = 2):


return x ** (1/n)

x = int(input("Enter the value of x:"))


n = int(input("Enter the value of n:"))

result = nthRoot(x, n)
print("The", n, "th root of", x, "is:", result)

default_result = nthRoot(x)
print("The square root of", x, "is:", default_result)

Output

Enter the value of x:36


Enter the value of n:6
The 6 th root of 36 is: 1.8171205928321397
The square root of 36 is: 6.0
Question 7

Write a function that takes a number n and then returns a randomly


generated number having exactly n digits (not starting with zero)
e.g., if n is 2 then function can randomly return a number 10-99 but
07, 02 etc. are not valid two digit numbers.

Solution

import random
def generate_number(n):
lower_bound = 10 ** (n - 1)
upper_bound = (10 ** n) - 1
return random.randint(lower_bound, upper_bound)

n = int(input("Enter the value of n:"))


random_number = generate_number(n)
print("Random number:", random_number)

Output

Enter the value of n:2


Random number: 10

Enter the value of n:2


Random number: 50

Enter the value of n:3


Random number: 899

Enter the value of n:4


Random number: 1204

Question 8

Write a function that takes two numbers and returns the number
that has minimum one's digit.

[For example, if numbers passed are 491 and 278, then the function
will return 491 because it has got minimum one's digit out of two
given numbers (491's 1 is < 278's 8)].
Solution

def min_ones_digit(num1, num2):


ones_digit_num1 = num1 % 10
ones_digit_num2 = num2 % 10
if ones_digit_num1 < ones_digit_num2:
return num1
else:
return num2

num1 = int(input("Enter first number:"))


num2 = int(input("Enter second number:"))
result = min_ones_digit(num1, num2)
print("Number with minimum one's digit:", result)

Output

Enter first number:491


Enter second number:278
Number with minimum one's digit: 491

Enter first number:543


Enter second number:765
Number with minimum one's digit: 543

Question 9

Write a program that generates a series using a function which


takes first and last values of the series and then generates four
terms that are equidistant e.g., if two numbers passed are 1 and 7
then function returns 1 3 5 7.

Solution

def generate_series(first, last):


step = (last - first) // 3
series = [first, first + step, first + 2 * step, last]
return series

first_value = int(input("Enter first value:"))


last_value = int(input("Enter last value:"))
result_series = generate_series(first_value, last_value)
print("Generated Series:", result_series)

Output

Enter first value:1


Enter last value:7
Generated Series: [1, 3, 5, 7]

Enter first value:10


Enter last value:25
Generated Series: [10, 15, 20, 25]
