Creating and running a Python program in Jupyter Notebook
involves the following steps:
Launch Jupyter Notebook:
Open your terminal or command prompt.
Type jupyter notebook and press Enter. This will open a new tab in your web browser
with the Jupyter Notebook interface.
Create a New Notebook:
In the Jupyter Notebook interface, navigate to the desired directory where you want to
save your notebook.
Click on the "New" button in the top right corner.
Select "Python 3" (or the appropriate Python kernel if you have multiple installed) from
the dropdown list. This will open a new, blank Jupyter Notebook in a new browser tab.
Rename the Notebook (Optional but Recommended):
Click on "Untitled" at the top of the notebook interface.
Enter a descriptive name for your notebook (e.g., "MyFirstPythonProgram") and press
Enter.
Write Python Code in a Code Cell:
The notebook will open with an empty "Code" cell.
Type your Python code directly into this cell. For example:
print("Hello, Jupyter!")
x = 10
y = 20
sum_result = x + y
print(f"The sum is: {sum_result}")
Run the Code Cell:
Using the Run Button: Click the "Run" button in the toolbar above the cell.
1. (a) Program to calculate distance between two points
You are given two coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) of a two-dimensional
graph. Find the distance between them.
Examples:
Input : x1, y1 = (3, 4)
x2, y2 = (7, 7)
Output : 5
Input : x1, y1 = (3, 4)
x2, y2 = (4, 3)
Output : 1.41421
Calculate the distance between two points.
We will use the distance formula derived from Pythagorean theorem.
The formula for distance between two point (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
Program
import math
# Function to calculate distance
def distance(x1 , y1 , x2 , y2):
return math.sqrt(math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) +math.pow(y2 - y1, 2))
# Drivers Code
print("%.6f"%distance(3, 4, 4, 3))
Output:
1.41421
(b) Write a program add.py that takes 2 numbers as
command line arguments and prints its sum.
import sys
def main():
# Check if exactly two command-line arguments (numbers) are provided
if len(sys.argv) != 3:
print("Usage: python add.py <number1> <number2>")
sys.exit(1) # Exit with an error code
try:
# Convert command-line arguments to numbers (integers in this case)
num1 = int(sys.argv[1])
num2 = int(sys.argv[2])
# Calculate the sum
sum_result = num1 + num2
# Print the sum
print(f"The sum of {num1} and {num2} is: {sum_result}")
# f indicates an f-string. F-strings are a way to embed expressions inside string
literals using curly braces {} to denote where the expressions should be
evaluated and inserted into the string.
except ValueError:
print("Error: Please provide valid integer numbers as arguments.")
sys.exit(1) # Exit with an error code
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
2. (a) The volume of a sphere with radius r is 4/3πr 3 . What is the
volume of a sphere with radius 5?
import math
def sphere_volume(radius):
"""Calculates the volume of a sphere.
Args:
radius: The radius of the sphere (float).
Returns:
The volume of the sphere (float).
"""
volume = (4/3) * math.pi * (radius**3)
return volume
radius = 5
volume = sphere_volume(radius)
print(f"The volume of a sphere with radius {radius} is: {volume}")
(b) Suppose, cover price of a book is INR 24.95, but a bookstore
offers a 40% discount.
Shipping costs INR 3.00 for the first copy and 75 Paise for each
additional copy.
What is the total wholesale cost for 60 copies?
# Constants
cover_price = 24.95
discount = 0.40
shipping_first = 3.00
shipping_additional = 0.75
copies = 60
# Calculate the cost of the books
book_cost = cover_price * (1 - discount) * copies
# Calculate the shipping cost
shipping_cost = shipping_first + shipping_additional * (copies - 1)
# Calculate the total wholesale cost
total_cost = book_cost + shipping_cost
print("The total wholesale cost for 60 copies is: $",
round(total_cost, 2))
3. Develop an application that repeatedly reads numbers until the
user enters “done”.Once “done” is entered, print out the total,
count, and average of the numbers. If the user enters anything other
than a number, detect their mistake using try and except and print
an error message and skip to the next number.
count= 0
tot = 0.0
while True:
number = input("Enter a number")
if number == 'done':
break
try :
num1 = float(number)
except:
print('Invailed Input')
continue
count =count+1
tot = tot + num1
print ('all done')
print (tot,count,tot/count)
