Question 5. [4 marks]

Write a Python program that does the following:

- Prompts the user to enter a number
- If the user enters a number the program should print out the summation of all the odd
numbers from 11 to inclusive n.
- Write your code inside the main function and make sure the program works.
- Consider the user will not enter any floating point number
Sample input:
20
Sample output:
75

Question 6. [6 marks]

a) What is the output of the following program?

num= int(11.45)
word= "sky"
 new_word= ""
for i in range(len(word)):
new_word+=word
print(new_word,num)

[3]

b) Name 3 distinct operations that occurred in this program

Question 7. [5 marks]

Write a Python program that prompts the user to enter a number until the user types “done”. For each
number entered, if it is greater than 20, the program should ignore it and prompt for another number. If
the number is negative, the program should instruct the user to enter a positive number instead. The
program should multiply together all other valid numbers entered by the user, and display the result of
this multiplication. Users may enter floating-point numbers, but the final output of the multiplication
should be displayed as an integer.
