This assignment covers conditional statements (if, elif, else) and loops (for, while) , Functions , Files and Exception Handling in Python.
I. Conditional Statements (20 points)
1. Write a program that asks the user for a number. If the number is positive, print "The number is positive". If it's negative, print "The number is negative". Otherwise, print "The number is zero". 2. Write a program that asks the user for a grade (between 0 and 100). Use an if-elif-else chain to print the corresponding letter grade: A (90-100), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69), F (below 60). 3. Write a program that checks if two numbers are equal. If they are, print "The numbers are equal". Otherwise, print "The numbers are different". 4. Write a program that asks the user for a day of the week (as a string). Use an if-elif-else chain to print a message for each day (e.g., "It's Monday!" for Monday). 5. Write a program that checks if a string is empty. If it is, print "The string is empty". Otherwise, print "The string is not empty". 6. (Bonus) Write a program that simulates a simple password checker. Ask the user for a password and check if it meets certain criteria (e.g., minimum length, contains uppercase and lowercase letters). Use conditional statements to print appropriate messages. 7. Write a program that plays a guessing game. Choose a random number between 1 and 100. The user must guess the number in a limited number of attempts. Use a loop and conditional statements to handle the guesses and provide feedback. 8. Write a program that converts a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice versa. Use an if statement to ask the user for the conversion direction (C to F or F to C) and then convert the temperature using a formula. 9. Write a program that checks if a given year is a leap year. Use conditional statements to check the divisibility rules for leap years. 10. Write a program that simulates a simple ATM machine. The user has a starting balance and can perform transactions (deposit, withdrawal). Use conditional statements to check if the balance is sufficient for withdrawals and print appropriate messages.
II. Loops (20 points)
1. Write a program that prints all even numbers from 1 to 20 (inclusive) using a for loop. 2. Write a program that calculates the factorial of a number entered by the user. Use a for loop to multiply the number by all positive integers less than itself. 3. Write a program that prints the first 10 elements of the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, ...). Use a for loop to calculate each element based on the previous two. 4. Write a program that prints a square pattern of stars (*) using a nested loop. The user enters the size of the square. 5. Write a program that reads a list of numbers (until the user enters 0) and calculates the sum of all positive numbers. Use a while loop to keep reading numbers until the sentinel value (0) is entered. 6. Write a program that prints a multiplication table for a given number entered by the user. Use nested loops to iterate through the rows and columns. 7. Write a program that plays a simple guessing game similar to question 7 in the conditional statements section, but this time use a while loop to keep asking for guesses until the user gets it right. 8. Write a program that checks if a given string is a palindrome (reads the same backward as forward). Use a loop to iterate through the string and compare characters from both ends. 9. Write a program that simulates a simple quiz with multiple choice questions. Store the questions and answers in lists. Use a loop to iterate through the questions, display them, and check the user's answers. 10. Write a program that encrypts or decrypts a message using a Caesar cipher. Shift each letter in the message by a certain number of positions (positive for encryption, negative for decryption). Use a loop to iterate through the characters and perform the shift.
III. Functions (40 Points)
1. Write a program that implements a calculator using functions. (5 X2=10)
i. You should include three modes namely Arithmetic, Sets and Binary Arithmetic. a. Arithmetic operations should include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using a separate function for each operation. b. Set operations should include union, intersection difference and symmetric difference. Use a separate function for each. c. Binary Arithmetic should include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Use a separate function for each. ii. You should use a main function to ask the user to choose the mode and then to input two operands and then ask his/her choice about the desired operation. a. Based on choice, call the relevant function which should take two parameters and then return the result. iii. Display the results in the main function. It is better to use a separate function for input and output if possible. iv. Call the function for each mode and all possible operations.
Your notebook should include proper headings mentioning all the parts clearly.
2. Write a python program that: (10)
i. Ask the user to input any seven letters from the keyboard as the letters available on the scrabble rack. ii. It should compute all the possible words that could be made from these letters. iii. Then only display the valid dictionary words out of all possible combinations. Write a separate function for each of the above i, ii and iii and control the flow from the main function.
3. Write python functions for the following: (10 x2=20)
i. Finding the LCM of two numbers ii. Finding the LCM of any number of arbitrary arguments iii. Finding the HCF of two number iv. Finding the HCF of any number of arbitrary arguments v. Display the elements of Fibonacci series. vi. Binary search using functions. vii. Binary search using recursion. viii. Merge Sort using functions. ix. Merge sort using recursion. x. Convert a decimal number into binary number. IV. Files and Exception Handling ( 20 Points) 1. Write a program takes sales data from the user, saves it in a file and then retrieves the data back from the file. Do the following: (10)
a) Ask the user how many sales records to enter (1)
b) Take the data from the user and write it into a file. (3) c) Close and open the file for reading purposes. Compute total sales, average sales, minimum and maximum sales from the file. (3) d) Apply necessary exception handling where required. (3) Use three functions; a main function to control the flow, a function that takes data from the user and saves it into a file, and a function that retrieves data from the file and returns total, average, min and max sales.
2. Write a program that takes a text file as an input and does the following: (10)
i. Computes number of words in the file
ii. Computes number of sentences in the file iii. Computes the number of unique words in the file. iv. Computes number of prepositions used. v. Computes number of three letter words in the file
Make a separate function for each of the above and control the flow from the main (). You should call the function and display the results in a well-formatted manner.
Submission Guidelines:
1. Submit all the above in the form of a python notebook as well as pdf. Your notebook / pdf should be a compiled one showing all the necessary outputs. 2. Your python notebook should have proper headings clearly mentioning the question numbers and subsequent parts etc. 3. Submit the printout of the pdf as well if required.
