Chapter 7, Problem 4TF
Explanation of Solution
Copying lists:
- • In Python, to copy a list to another list, simply assign the list to be copied to another list
- • Both the lists will be identical as they refer to the same object in the memory.
Example program:
#Create a list of strings
slist1 = ['Jack', 'John', 'James']
#Copy slist1 to slist2
slist2 = slist1
#Print the slist1
print(slist1)
#Print the slist2
print(slist2)
#Change a string in slist2
slist2[1] = 'Jacob'
#Print the slist1
print(slist1)
#Print the slist2
print(slist2)
Sample output:
['Jack', 'John', 'James']
['Jack', 'John',...

If entered correctly, the function generates a list containing n random values that do not overlap between 1 and 5000 and the function returns the newly created list. Conversely, if entered incorrectly, the program will ask to re-enter until it is correct. Cases where n is considered incorrect:(i)- If the user enters a non-integer data type (like string, float, bool, ...)The program will display the error message 'Must enter a positive integer. Requires re-entry'.(ii)- If the input value is of the correct integer data type but the value is not in the range10 to 1000, the program gives the error 'Only values between 10 and 1000.

The user may add more data whenever they want. The print also allows the user to display the data and to print the statistics. The data is store in a list. It’s easier if you make the list global so that other functions can access it. You should have the following functions: · add_from_file() – prompts the user for a file and add the data from it. · add_by_hand() – prompts the user to enter data until user type a negative number. · print_stats() – print the stats (min, max, mean, sum). You may use the built-in functions. Handling errors such as whether the input file exist is extra credit. To print a 10-column table, you can use the code below: for i in range(len(data)): print(f"{data[i]:3}", end="") if (i+1)%10==0: print() print() Sample run: Choose an action 1) add data from a file 2) add data by hand 3) print stats 4)…arrow_forwardWrite a function that returns the greatest common divisor (GCD) of integers in a list.

You can assume that the input file only one number per line. You can assume the user always enter a file that exists. The median is the value in the middle of a sorted list. To sort a list, use list.sort() function. It’s computed as below. For a list of odd length, the middle number is just the length divide by 2. For the list, [1,2,3], the median is 2 since 2 is in the middle of the list. The middle index is 3//2, which is 1. Remember that // is the integer division operator. When the length of the list is even, there are two middle numbers. The median is the average of the two middle numbers. For example, [1,2,3,4], the median is (2+3)/2 = 2.5. The two middle indexes for this example are (4//2)-1 = 1 and (4//2) = 2.
