Write a program temptable.py. The program should contain a function called fahrenheit_to_celsius(x) that converts x degrees Fahrenheit to its equivalent degrees Celsius. Remember that:
°C = (5 / 9)(°F - 32)
The main() function should print a table for temperatures between –30°F and 100°F at 10 degree intervals, with their corresponding conversion to degrees Celsius as returned by the fahrenheit_to_celsius(x) function.
The program’s output should look like this:
-30 °F = -34.44444444444444 °C -20 °F = -28.88888888888889 °C -10 °F = -23.333333333333332 °C 0 °F = -17.77777777777778 °C 10 °F = -12.222222222222221 °C 20 °F = -6.666666666666667 °C 30 °F = -1.1111111111111112 °C 40 °F = 4.444444444444445 °C 50 °F = 10.0 °C 60 °F = 15.555555555555555 °C 70 °F = 21.11111111111111 °C 80 °F = 26.666666666666668 °C 90 °F = 32.22222222222222 °C 100 °F = 37.77777777777778 °C
Write a program disttable.py that prints a table of mile to kilometer conversions for distances between 100 and 1500 miles at 100 mile intervals. Write a function called miles_to_km(x) to do the conversion. One mile is approximately 1.609 km.
The program’s output should look like this:
100 miles = 160.9 km 200 miles = 321.8 km 300 miles = 482.7 km 400 miles = 643.6 km 500 miles = 804.5 km 600 miles = 965.4 km 700 miles = 1126.3 km 800 miles = 1287.2 km 900 miles = 1448.1 km 1000 miles = 1609.0 km 1100 miles = 1769.9 km 1200 miles = 1930.8 km 1300 miles = 2091.7 km 1400 miles = 2252.6 km 1500 miles = 2413.5 km
Write a program called basel.py. Define in this program a function called basel(n) that calculate the following series:
The program’s main() function should print a table with the values of basel(n) for n = 10, 100, 1000, ..., 107. Hint: Use range() to create the exponents.
The program’s output should look like this:
10 1.5497677311665408 100 1.6349839001848923 1000 1.6439345666815615 10000 1.6448340718480652 100000 1.6449240668982423 1000000 1.64493306684877 10000000 1.6449339668472596
Write a program called pyramid.py. Define in this program a function pyramid(n) that returns 12 + 22+ 32 + ... + n2. The program’s main() function should
print a table with the values of pyramid(n)
for n = 1, 2, 3, ..., 20.
The program’s output should look like this:
1 1 2 5 3 14 4 30 5 55 6 91 7 140 8 204 9 285 10 385 11 506 12 650 13 819 14 1015 15 1240 16 1496 17 1785 18 2109 19 2470 20 2870
Write a program called equilateral.py that takes as input the lengths of three sides of a triangle. The program output sould indicate whether or not the triangle is an equilateral. You do not need to use any functions other than main().
Example 1 (user input is in blue):
Side 1 of the triangle: 42 Side 2 of the triangle: 42 Side 3 of the triangle: 42 The triangle is an equilateral.
Example 2:
Side 1 of the triangle: 56 Side 2 of the triangle: 25 Side 3 of the triangle: 43 The triangle is not an equilateral.
Write a program called grade.py. Define in this program a function called grade(score) that returns a string with the corresponding letter
grade for a given numerical score. Use the values from the following table:
| Score | Grade |
|---|---|
| From 95 to 100 |
'A'
|
| From 85 to 94 |
'B'
|
| From 70 to 84 |
'C'
|
| From 50 to 69 |
'D'
|
| From 0 to 49 |
'F'
|
|
Any value less than 0 or greater than 100 |
'ERROR'
|
The program’s main() function should prompt the user for a score and print the corresponding grade.
Example (user input is in blue):
Give me a score between 0 and 100: 76
The grade is: C
Write a program called max3.py. Define in this program a function called max3(x, y, z) that returns the largest of x, y, and z. Do
not use the built-in Python function max(). The program’s main() function should prompt three values from the user and print the one that is largest.
Example (user input is in blue):
First value: -34 Second value: 25 Third value: 16 The largest value is: 25
Write a program called sort3.py. Define in this program a function called sort3(x, y, z) that returns the three values x, y, and z
in sorted order (a, b, c), where a ≤ b ≤ c. Do not use any built-in
Python sorting functions, but you may put if statements inside of other
if statements. The program’s main() function should prompt three values from the user and print them sorted.
Example 1 (user input is in blue):
First value: -34 Second value: 16 Third value: 25 Sorted values: (-34, 16, 25)
Example 2:
First value: -34 Second value: 25 Third value: 16 Sorted values: (-34, 16, 25)
Example 3:
First value: 16 Second value: -34 Third value: 25 Sorted values: (-34, 16, 25)
Example 4:
First value: 16 Second value: 25 Third value: -34 Sorted values: (-34, 16, 25)
Example 5:
First value: 25 Second value: -34 Third value: 16 Sorted values: (-34, 16, 25)
Example 6:
First value: 25 Second value: 16 Third value: -34 Sorted values: (-34, 16, 25)
