Assignment 2

1. Write a python function that computes the square of a number. The function should return the
output as a tuple in the following form: (a, a2) where a is the input value to the function.

2. Write a function that can accept two strings as input and concatenate them and then print it as an
output.

3. Write a function that can accept an integer number as an input and print "Even number" if the
number is even, otherwise print "Odd number".

4. Write a function that can print a dictionary where the keys are numbers between 1 and 20 (both
included) and the values are square of keys.

5. Write a function to compute the square-root of a given number. If the given number is negative,
your function should give an error message.

6. Write a function to input two separate lists, one with names (name_list) and another with
numbers (number_list). Your function should then output another list (output_list) which contains
tuples of names and number.

name_list = [“Dan Mace”, “Connor Meyer”, “Adam Smith”, “John Watson”]

number_list = [98980000, 777890879, 123087699, 960008779]

output_list = [ (Dan Mace, 98980000), (Connor Meyer, 777890879), (Adam Smith, 123087699), (John
Watson, 960008779) ]

7. With a given tuple (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), write a program to print the first half values in one line
and the last half values in another line.

8. Write a function that takes in a list of usernames of students. The function should then output
another list which returns the email addresses by adding “@thebritishcollege.edu.np” to the
usernames in the list. The output of your function should be a list.

Input:
student_username = [ksmith, rsouza, lgarber, aghods, shassan, proy]

Output:
student_email = [ksmith@thebritishcollege.edu.np, rsouza@thebritishcollege.edu.np,
lgarber@thebritishcollege.edu.np, aghods@thebritishcollege.edu.np, shassan@thebritishcollege.edu.np,
proy@thebritishcollege.edu.np]

9. In the list given below, use a while loop to print the output. Your loop should run until all the
items in the list have been printed.

name_list = [ (Dan Mace, 98980000), (Connor Meyer, 777890879), (Adam Smith, 123087699), (John
Watson, 960008779) ]
Your output should look like:
Name: Dan Mace
Contact no: 98980000
.
.
.

10. Write a function that accepts a list of tuples as an input, and outputs the values as a dictionary
shown below:

input_list = [ (Dan Mace, 98980000), (Connor Meyer, 777890879), (Adam Smith, 123087699), (John
Watson, 960008779) ]

output_dict = {Dan Mace: 98980000, Connor Meyer: 777890879, Adam Smith: 123087699, John Watson:
960008779}

11. Write a function to go through a string and count the number of words in the given string.

input_str = 'If you count the words in this sentence you will get twelve'

Your output must be as follows:

number of words: 12

12. Write a function to print Fibonacci sequence up-to the given term.

For example: If a user inputs 7, your function should print: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13

if a user inputs 9, your function should print: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34

13. Write a program to play a game of rock, paper and scissor between two players. Take two user
inputs from the keyboard and according to user's choice decide who wins.

14. Write a Python program to construct the following pattern.

1
22
333
4444
55555
666666
7777777
88888888
999999999

15. Write a Python function that accepts a hyphen-separated sequence of words as input and prints
the words in a hyphen-separated sequence after sorting them alphabetically.

For example:

If your input is : s-i-t-c-o-m

Your output should be : c-i-m-o-s-t
