Chapter 6, Problem 2DE
Can you find the reason that the following pseudocode function does not return the value indicated in the comments?
// The calcDiscountPrice function accepts an item's price and
// the discount percentage as arguments. It uses those
// values to calculate and return the discounted price.
Function Real calcDiscountPrice(Real price, Real percentage)
// Calculate the discount.
Declare Real discount = price * percentage
// Subtract the discount from the price.
Declare Real discountPrice = price - discount
// Return the discount price.
Return discount

Text-based adventure game: Pretend you are creating a text-based adventure game. At different points in the game, you want the user to select to fight, run, or hide from certain enemies. The selection variable must be sent as an argument into the choice() function.
The user should enter 1 to fight, 2 to run, or 3 to hide in the main(). The choice() function should print one of the three options.
Add an if statement in the choice() function to make the correct selection.

Create a function which returns the type of triangle, given the side lengths. Return the following
values if they match the criteria.
• No sides equal: "scalene"
• Two sides equal: "isosceles"
• All sides equal: "equilateral"
• Less or more than 3 sides given: "not a triangle"
Examples
get_triangle_type([2, 6, 5])
"scalene"
get_triangle_type([4,
4, 7])
"isosceles"
get_triangle_type([8,
8, 8])
"equilateral"
get_triangle_type([3, 5, 5, 2]) → "not a triangle"

The function should accept the input as arguments. The interest rate should have a default value of 7%. You can add default values of your choice for the amount of years. This function should print out a table that displays the future values. Demonstrate this function in another function called main. Format your output by two decimal places. Output Example: Enter the amount you want to invest: 1000 [Enter] Enter the interest rate for your investment: [Enter] Enter the number of years you want to invest this money: 30 [Enter] Years Future Value 1 1093.81 2 1196.41 ........ 30 14730.58arrow_forwardATM machines allow 4 or 6 digit PIN codes and PIN codes cannot contain anything but exactly 4 digits or exactly 6 digits.

Ex: 1. Susan Martinez (33), 2. Jake Smith (21), etc. Add a player: Prompts the user to type the player's full name and jersey number. Then adds the player to the roster. Remove a player: Displays the roster and prompts the user to enter the number of the player to remove. Then removes the player from the roster. Quit: Quits the program. The program should display the main menu after the user shows the roster, adds a player, or removes a player. The program only terminates when the user chooses the quit option. Data validation should be used where appropriate. Ex: The user should not be able to choose an option that doesn't exist or delete a player that doesn't exist. The roster should be kept in alphabetic order by the players' full names.

- get_column_choice(): this function will allow us to ask the players which pocket they want to grab stones from. Since we know which row they are grabbing from (since it is not allowed to grab stones from your opponent’s side), we only need to get the column they want. As previously stated, we are using letters to represent the columns to make it easier on the player. This function accepts the current player (should be a 0 or 1), the board, and a list of letters (the same as the list you passed to the print_game_board function) and it will return the index of the column being chosen. The function should ask the player to enter a column letter, then it should check that the conditions listed below hold. If they don’t meet these conditions, it should ask again until it gets a valid letter, otherwise it should return the corresponding column index for that letter. Letter entered must be on the game board. It can be lower case or upper case.

- FizzBuzz Interview Question Create a function that takes a number as an argument and returns "Fizz", "Buzz" or "FizzBuzz". If the number is a multiple of 3 the output should be "Fizz". If the number given is a multiple of 5, the output should be "Buzz". If the number given is a multiple of both 3 and 5, the output should be "FizzBuzz". If the number is not a multiple of either 3 or 5, the number should be output on its own as shown in the examples below. The output should always be a string even if it is not a multiple of 3 or 5. Examples fizz_buzz (3) "Fizz" fizz_buzz (5) → "Buzz fizz_buzz (15) "FizzBuzz" fizz_buzz (4) "4" 11arrow_forwardYour program will prompt the user for the following information: current population number of yearly births from the previous year number of yearly deaths from the previous year number of years into the future for your predictive value of the future population. You will then compute the following: birth rate death rate growth rate the predicted future population Assignment Notes: To allow the user to input the numeric data (such as current population) it is necessary to use the input function. The input function takes a string in parenthesis that prompts the user what to enter. The computer then waits until the user types a response, terminated by the user typing the Enter key. A string, as a sequence of characters, is returned to the variable on the lefthand side of the assignment statement. For example: currPopulation = input(“Enter the current US population”) The data in currPopulation is a string (because that is what the input statement does) but we need it to be a number…arrow_forwardQuestion 6 # This function checks whether a given number is even or not def isEven(number): """ what it takes? a number what it does? determines if a number is even what it returns? if even, return 1 if odd, return -1 """ # your code goes in here defisEven(number): #check if the number is divisible by 2 by checking the remainder. if number % 2==0: #If remainder is 0, then its divisble by 2 and an even number #hence return-1 return1 else: #if remainder is not 0, it'll be 1, so its NOT divisible by 2 and its an odd number #hence return -1 return-1 Test case for question 6 try: if isEven(5) == -1: score['question 6'] = 'pass' else: score['question 6'] = 'fail' except: score['question 6'] = 'fail' isEven(5)arrow_forward
