Chapter 3, Problem 12E
Consider the previous question, but include + or – letter grades. A+ is 4.25, A– is 3.75, B+ is 3.25. B– is 2.75, and so on.
- a. Why can’t we use one switch statement with no other conditionals to convert these additional letter grades?
- b. Write a fragment of code that will do the conversion using a multibranch if-also statement.
- c. Write a fragment of code that will do the conversion using nested switch statements.

Implement the following questions using Python. Make use of conditional and print statements.Make sure to clearly define your variables and don’t forget to indent your code.
The logician Raymond Smulyan describes an island containing two types of people:knights who always tell the truth and knaves who always lie. You visit the island and are approached bytwo natives who speak to you as follows:• A says: B is a knight.• B says: A and I are of opposite type.What are A and B?
Below is a Boolean expression. Write a block of conditional statements (if/elif/else)
that will cause the phrase "It works!" to be printed if and only if the Boolean
expression evaluates to True. Your code should not use any logical operators
(and/or/not), only conditionals and prints (and pass if necessary). You may assume
that first, second, third, and fourth are variables which have already been defined as
either True or False.
(first or not second) and not (third or fourth)
4. Write a program which to find the grace marks for a student using switch. The
user should enter the class obtained by the student and the number of subjects he
has failed in.
- If the student gets first class and the number of subjects he failed in is greater
than 3, then he does not get any grace. If the number of subjects he failed in is
less than or equal to 3 then the grace is of 5 marks per subject.
- If the student gets second class and the number of subjects he failed in is greater
than 2, then he does not get any grace. If the number of subjects he failed in is
less than or equal to 2 then the grace is of 4 marks per subject.
- If the student gets third class and the number of subjects he failed in is greater
than 1, then he does not get any grace. If the number of subjects he failed in is
equal to 1 then the grace is of 5 marks per subject.

There will be four options: add two numbers, subtract two numbers, square root and raise to the power. During the subtraction option, you should not get any negative numbers when subtracting. For example, if we subtract 4 -7 you should get 3 not negative 3. Tip: use the absolute value function. You will use a switch case statement to create the selection mechanism. You will use three predefined functions we have used from chapter 4. The program will loop as long as the user types in Y or y for yes.

- A lecturer intends to separate his students into 2 groups based on their INDEX Numbers, those withodd numbers in group A and EVEN numbers in B. Use if-else statement to implement this.arrow_forwardWrite a program that asks the user for the number of credits earned so far. If the number of credits is 126 or more, set variable status to 1 and print a message indicating the student can graduate. Otherwise, set status to 0 and print a message indicating the student can't graduate yet. Compute the variable status using the shortcut conditional operator we saw in the lecture (don't use if- statement). Then, use the variable status to decide what to print based on the conditional operator like we did in the lecture (don't use if- statement). Enter credits earned so far: 130 Status = 1 Student is ready to graduate. Enter credits earned so far: 100 Status = 0 Student is not ready to graduate. - 3 -arrow_forwardRock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock (RPSLS) is an extended version of the classical game of chance Rock Paper Scissors. This game is created by Sam Kass and Karen Bryla. In this game, the players pick one of the following variables: rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock. The outcome of the game is determined by the rules below specifying which variable defeats the other. If both players choose the same variable, the game ends in a draw. Rules: • scissors cut paper • paper covers rock • rock captures lizard • lizard poisons spock • spock smashes scissors • scissors captures lizard • lizard eats paper • paper disproves spock • spock vaporizes rock • rock crushes scissors In this project, you will write a program that takes two strings representing the choices of the players as inputs and prints the outcome of the RPSLS game. There are three possible outcomes of this game: a tie, a win for player 1 and, a win for player 2. You are supposed to determine the outcome depending on the players'…arrow_forward

To do this, you decide to design a simple plagiarism checker. Your checker will take 2 strings as input. Then it will compare the 2 strings and check how many words they have in common. Then, print the percentage in common, by calculating: (No. of words in common / (No of words in string 1+ No of words in string 2)) * 100. If the calculated plagiarism is greater than or equal to 30%, print "Plagiarism detected." Otherwise, print "Good job!". Note: you need to compare "words" not individual characters. You can consider that all characters in both inputs will be in only lowercase or uppercase. ========= ======== Sample Input 1: my dog's name is bob bob is my dog's name Sample Output 1: Common percentage: 50% Plagiarism detected. Explanation 1: Length of string1= 5, Length of string2= 5, number of common words= 5.

- Write an if-else statement with multiple branches. If givenYear is 2101 or greater, print "Distant future" (without quotes). Else, if givenYear is 2001 or greater (2001-2100), print "21st century". Else, if givenYear is 1901 or greater (1901-2000), print "20th century". Else (1900 or earlier), print "Long ago". End with a newline. Remember to use println instead of print to output a newline.arrow_forwardTake an Infix expression from the user and convert into postfix. 1. Should be self-organizing program e.g. If the user enters two operators back to back by mistake. The program should automatically delete one of the 2 operators. 2. If the user doesn't enter a multiplication sign before a bracket, the program should automatically insert a multiplication sign there.arrow_forwardScenario As you surely know, due to some astronomical reasons, years may be leap or common. The former are 366 days long, while the latter are 365 days long. Since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (in 1582), the following rule is used to determine the kind of year: if the year number isn't divisible by four, it's a common year, otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 100, it's a leap year. otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 400, it's a common year. otherwise, it's a leap year. none of the above year int(input("enter the year")) if (year%4 1-0) and (year%400 -0) or (year % 1000): print (year is common year") else: print(year, is leap year") year= int(input ("enter the year")) if (years !-0) or (year480 1-0) and (year % 1001-0): print(year is common year") else: print(year, "is leap year") D year= int(input("enter the year"))arrow_forward
