Problem 1

HCI 574 2016 midterm

Ex 1: Index and slicing

Using both indexing and slicing, only on L, assemble and print a new list that
looks like this:
[0, 2, 3, [5 ,6], 8, 10]

[ 3 pts ] Index and slicing


"""

Problem 2

Ex 2: For and while loops

Write code, (using for and a while loop) to figure out how often each element
of F occurs within N and print it out.

This should print:


4 occurs in N 2 times
7 occurs in N 1 times
2 occurs in N 3 times

IMPORTANT: if use the count() function you will only get half points (because
that's just too easy ...)
[ 6 pts ] loops

"""
Problem 3

Ex 3: Function design

Write a function lenumerate() that takes a string (like s) and returns a list
of 2-item lists
containing each word and it's length:
[['But', 3], ['then', 4], ['of', 2], ... ['are', 3], ['nonmigratory', 12]]

[ 3 pts ] Function design - simple

Now write a second version of the lenumerate() function (you can name it
lenumerate2() )
that takes as second argument a boolean (i.e. True or False).
Call this 2. argument flip. The default value for flip shall be False.

If flip is False the list described above will be returned:

False => [['But', 3], ['then', 4], ['of', 2], ... ['are', 3], ['nonmigratory',
12]]

If flip is True, the order of the 2 items shall be flipped around (reversed):

True => [3, 'But'], [4, 'then'], [2, 'of'], ... [3, 'are'], [12,
'nonmigratory']]

Call this new version of the function two times, once so that the default
argument is used
and then again with flip given explicitly as a keyword argument(!) with a
value of True

[ 3 pts ] with 2. arg


"""

# define the function first ...


def lenumerate(s):
'''
lenumerate(s) return s as a list of 2-element lists: [[word, length],
[word, length], ...]
'''
# convert string s into a list of 2-element-lists

# ... then call the function


s = "But then of course African swallows are nonmigratory"
l = lenumerate(s)
e = s.split()
print l

# 2. version of lenumerate(), takes a second arg flip (True/False)


#def lenumerate2(????): # <- you still need to define the two arguments here!
#'''
#lenumerate2() returns a list of 2-element lists: [[word, length], [word,
length], ...]
#a second agument flip (True/False, defaults to False) determines if the
order 2-element list
#is flipped. With flip given as True, the length is first and the word is
second:
#False: [word, length], [word, length], ...]
#True: [[length, word], [length, word], ...]
#'''

#???

# ... then call the 2. version of the function


s = "But then of course African swallows are nonmigratory"
#l = lenumerate2(???) # <- call so that the default arg is used, i.e. output
will NOT be flipped
print l
#l_flipped = lenumerate2(????) # set flip to True via keyword argument, so
the output is flipped
#print l_flipped

Problem 4

Ex 4: Dictionary

You have dictionary d with these names (as keys) and phone numbers (as
values).
Ask user for a name, search the dict for this name (as key).
If the name exists as key in the dict, print out its phone numbers e.g. Jim
233-5467
If not, get the number for the name and add both to the dictionary,
then print out the full content.

input from user
username = raw_input( "Please enter name: ")
