There is no hard-and-fast rule as to which is better, but what do you think? What kinds of circumstances would lead you to writi

Answer:

<u>Functions</u>

The piece of code that is used to perform the same operation at multiple places with different parameters.

<u>Loops</u>

The piece of code that is used to perform a task multiple times and continue until the loop ends.

<u>Explanation</u>

Both of these have different kind of circumstances to apply. For example.

  1. Function can perform a specific operation whenever we call. but when we use loop it will perform same task at multiple times at same place.
  2. Functions can be called at different places to perform operations multiple times but once loop called it cannot complete the operations until loop completed.
  3. Each time when we call the function we can change the values but in loop in iteration we cannot change the value of any variable until loop ends.

3.14 LAB: Simple statistics for Python
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Following are the correct python code to this question:

n1 = float(input('Input first number: '))#input first number  

n2 = float(input('Input second number: '))#input second number  

n3 = float(input('Input third number: '))#input third number  

n4 = float(input('Input fourth number: '))#input fourth number  

average = (n1+n2+n3+n4)/4 #calculate input number average

product = n1*n2*n3*n4 # calculate input number product

print('product: {:.0f}  average: {:.0f}'.format(round(product),round(average))) #print product and average using round function

print('product: {:.3f}  average: {:.3f}'.format(product,average)) #print product and average value

Output:

Please find the attachment.

Explanation:

The description of the above python code can be defined as follows:

  • In the above python program four variable "n1, n2, n3, and n4" is defined, in which we take input from the user end, and in these user inputs we use the float method, that converts all the input value in to float value.
  • In the next step, two variable average and product are defined, that calculate all input numbers product, average, and hold value in its variable.
  • In the last line, the print method is used, which prints its variable value by using a round and format method.

#Write a function called string_finder. string_finder should #take two parameters: a target string and a search string. #The fun
adoni [48]

Answer:

I am writing a Python program:

def string_finder(target,search): #function that takes two parameters i.e. target string and a search string

   position=(target.find(search))# returns lowest index of search if it is found in target string

   if position==0: # if value of position is 0 means lowers index

       return "Beginning" #the search string in the beginning of target string

   elif position== len(target) - len(search): #if position is equal to the difference between lengths of the target and search strings

       return "End" # returns end

   elif position > 0 and position < len(target) -1: #if value of position is greater than 0 and it is less than length of target -1

       return "Middle" #returns middle        

   else: #if none of above conditions is true return not found

       return "not found"

#you can add an elif condition instead of else for not found condition as:

#elif position==-1    

#returns "not found"

#tests the data for the following cases      

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "Georgia"))

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "gia"))

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "Tech"))

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "Idaho"))

Explanation:

The program can also be written in by using string methods.

def string_finder(target,search):  #method definition that takes target string and string to be searched

       if target.startswith(search):  #startswith() method scans the target string and checks if the (substring) search is present at the start of target string

           return "Beginning"  #if above condition it true return Beginning

       elif target.endswith(search):  #endswith() method scans the target string and checks if the (substring) search is present at the end of target string

           return "End" #if above elif condition it true return End

       elif target.find(search) != -1:  #find method returns -1 if the search string is not in target string so if find method does not return -1 then it means that the search string is within the target string and two above conditions evaluated to false so search string must be in the middle of target string

           return "Middle"  #if above elif condition it true return End

       else:  #if none of the above conditions is true then returns Not Found

           return "Not Found"
