Also, try to solve the basic Python Quiz for beginners Given two integer numbers return their product only if the product is equal to or lower than 1000, else return their sum. Given 1: number1 = 20 number2 = 30 Expected Output: The result is 600 Given 2: number1 = 40 number2 = 30 Expected Output: The result is 70 Refer: Accept user input in
PythonCalculate an Average in Python Show Hint Create a function that will take two numbers as parametersNext, Inside a function, multiply two numbers and save their product in a product variableNext, use the if condition to check if the product >1000. If yes, return the productOtherwise, use the else block to calculate the sum of two numbers
and return it. Show Solution def multiplication_or_sum(num1, num2): # calculate product of two number product = num1 * num2 # check if product is less then 1000 if product <= 1000: return product else: # product is greater than 1000 calculate sum return num1 + num2 # first condition result = multiplication_or_sum(20, 30) print("The result is",
result) # Second condition result = multiplication_or_sum(40, 30) print("The result is", result) Write a program to iterate the first 10 numbers and in each iteration, print the sum of the current and previous number. Expected Output: Printing current and previous number sum in a range(10) Current Number 0 Previous Number 0 Sum: 0 Current
Number 1 Previous Number 0 Sum: 1 Current Number 2 Previous Number 1 Sum: 3 Current Number 3 Previous Number 2 Sum: 5 Current Number 4 Previous Number 3 Sum: 7 Current Number 5 Previous Number 4 Sum: 9 Current Number 6 Previous Number 5 Sum: 11 Current Number 7 Previous Number 6 Sum: 13 Current Number 8 Previous
Number 7 Sum: 15 Current Number 9 Previous Number 8 Sum: 17 Reference article for help: Python range() functionCalculate sum and average in Python Show Hint Create a variable called previous_num and assign it to 0Iterate the first 10 numbers one by one using for loop and range() functionNext, display the current number (i), previous
number, and the addition of both numbers in each iteration of the loop. At last, change the value previous number to current number ( previous_num = i). Show Solution print("Printing current and previous number and their sum in a range(10)") previous_num = 0 # loop from 1 to 10 for i in range(1, 11): x_sum = previous_num + i print("Current
Number", i, "Previous Number ", previous_num, " Sum: ", x_sum) # modify previous number # set it to the current number previous_num = i Write a program to accept a string from the user and display characters that are present at an even index number. For example, str = "pynative" so you should display ‘p’, ‘n’, ‘t’, ‘v’. Expected Output: Orginal
String is pynative Printing only even index chars p n t v Reference article for help: Python Input and Output Show Hint Use Python input() function to accept a string from a user.Calculate the length of string using the len() functionNext, iterate each character of a string using for loop and range() function.Use start = 0, stop = len(s)-1, and step =2.
the step is 2 because we want only even index numbersin each iteration of a loop, use s[i] to print character present at current even index number Show Solution Solution 1: # accept input string from a user word = input('Enter word ') print("Original String:", word) # get the length of a string size = len(word) # iterate a each character of a string #
start: 0 to start with first character # stop: size-1 because index starts with 0 # step: 2 to get the characters present at even index like 0, 2, 4 print("Printing only even index chars") for i in range(0, size - 1, 2): print("index[", i, "]", word[i]) Solution 2: Using list slicing # accept input string from a user word = input('Enter word ') print("Original
String:", word) # using list slicing # convert string to list # pick only even index chars x = list(word) for i in x[0::2]: print(i) Write a program to remove characters from a string starting from zero up to n and return a new string. For example: remove_chars("pynative", 4) so output must be tive. Here we need to remove first four characters from a
string.remove_chars("pynative", 2) so output must be native. Here we need to remove first two characters from a string. Note: n must be less than the length of the string. Show Hint Use string slicing to get the substring.
For example, to remove the first four characters and the remeaning use s[4:]. Show Solution def remove_chars(word, n): print('Original string:', word) x = word[n:] return x print("Removing characters from a string") print(remove_chars("pynative", 4)) print(remove_chars("pynative", 2)) Also, try to solve Python String Exercise Write a function to
return True if the first and last number of a given list is same. If numbers are different then return False. Given: numbers_x = [10, 20, 30, 40, 10] numbers_y = [75, 65, 35, 75, 30] Expected Output: Given list: [10, 20, 30, 40, 10] result is True numbers_y = [75, 65, 35, 75, 30] result is False Show Solution def first_last_same(numberList): print("Given
list:", numberList) first_num = numberList[0] last_num = numberList[-1] if first_num == last_num: return True else: return False numbers_x = [10, 20, 30, 40, 10] print("result is", first_last_same(numbers_x)) numbers_y = [75, 65, 35, 75, 30] print("result is", first_last_same(numbers_y)) Iterate the given list of numbers and print only those numbers
which are divisible by 5 Expected Output: Given list is [10, 20, 33, 46, 55] Divisible by 5 10 20 55 Show Solution num_list = [10, 20, 33, 46, 55] print("Given list:", num_list) print('Divisible by 5:') for num in num_list: if num % 5 == 0: print(num) Also, try to solve Python list Exercise Write a program to find how many times substring “Emma” appears
in the given string. Given: str_x = "Emma is good developer. Emma is a writer" Expected Output: Emma appeared 2 times Show Hint Use string method count(). Show Solution Solution 1: Use the count() method str_x = "Emma is good developer. Emma is a writer" # use count method of a str class cnt = str_x.count("Emma") print(cnt) Solution 2:
Without string method def count_emma(statement): print("Given String: ", statement) count = 0 for i in range(len(statement) - 1): count += statement[i: i + 4] == 'Emma' return count count = count_emma("Emma is good developer. Emma is a writer") print("Emma appeared ", count, "times") 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 Hint: Print Pattern using for
loop Show Solution for num in range(10): for i in range(num): print (num, end=" ") #print number # new line after each row to display pattern correctly print("") Write a program to check if the given number is a palindrome number.

If yes, return True. Show Solution def
palindrome(number): print("original number", number) original_num = number # reverse the given number reverse_num = 0 while number > 0: reminder = number % 10 reverse_num = (reverse_num * 10) + reminder number = number // 10 # check numbers if original_num == reverse_num: print("Given number palindrome") else: print("Given
number is not palindrome") palindrome(121) palindrome(125) Create a new list from a two list using the following condition Given a two list of numbers, write a program to create a new list such that the new list should contain odd numbers from the first list and even numbers from the second list. Given: list1 = [10, 20, 25, 30, 35] list2 = [40, 45, 60,
75, 90] Expected Output: result list: [25, 35, 40, 60, 90] Show Hint Create an empty list named result_listIterate first list using a for loopIn each iteration, check if the current number is odd number using num % 2 != 0 formula. If the current number is an odd number, add it to the result listNow, Iterate the first list using a loop.In each iteration, check
if the current number is odd number using num % 2 == 0 formula. If the current number is an even number, add it to the result listprint the result list Show Solution def merge_list(list1, list2): result_list = [] # iterate first list for num in list1: # check if current number is odd if num % 2 != 0: # add odd number to result list result_list.append(num) #
iterate second list for num in list2: # check if current number is even if num % 2 == 0: # add even number to result list result_list.append(num) return result_list list1 = [10, 20, 25, 30, 35] list2 = [40, 45, 60, 75, 90] print("result list:", merge_list(list1, list2)) Note: Try to solve Python list Exercise For example, If the given int is 7536, the output shall
be “6 3 5 7“, with a space separating the digits.
