Python Programming Exercises with Solutions - Retry
1. Birthday Invitations:
Write a Python program to send birthday invitations to your friends:
- Create a list of 5 friends' names (e.g., 'Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'Dana', 'Eve').
- Use a for loop to go through each friend's name in the list.
- Print a message for each friend: 'Hi <name>, you are invited to my birthday party!'
# Solution
friends = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'Dana', 'Eve']
for friend in friends:
print(f"Hi {friend}, you are invited to my birthday party!")
2. Counting Apples in Baskets:
Write a Python program to count the total number of apples in multiple baskets:
- Assume you have 5 baskets, each containing a different number of apples (e.g., [5, 8, 3, 10,
7]).
- Use a for loop to add up the apples from all baskets.
- At the end, print: 'The total number of apples is: <total_apples>'.
# Solution
baskets = [5, 8, 3, 10, 7]
total_apples = 0
for apples in baskets:
total_apples += apples
print(f"The total number of apples is: {total_apples}")
3. Greeting Each Classmate:
Write a Python program to greet your classmates individually:
- Create a list of 5 classmates' names (e.g., 'John', 'Sarah', 'Mike', 'Anna', 'Chris').
- Use a for loop to go through each name in the list.
- Print a greeting message for each classmate: 'Hello <name>, good to see you!'
# Solution
classmates = ['John', 'Sarah', 'Mike', 'Anna', 'Chris']
for classmate in classmates:
print(f"Hello {classmate}, good to see you!")
4. Daily Water Intake Tracker:
Write a Python program to track your daily water intake for a week and check if you met your
daily goal of 2 liters:
- Create a list with the amount of water you drank each day for 7 days (e.g., [2.5, 1.8, 2.0, 1.5,
2.2, 2.0, 2.1]).
- Use a for loop to go through each day's water intake.
- For each day, print:
- 'Day <day_number>: You drank enough water!' if the intake is 2 liters or more.
- 'Day <day_number>: Drink more water tomorrow!' if the intake is less than 2 liters.
# Solution
water_intake = [2.5, 1.8, 2.0, 1.5, 2.2, 2.0, 2.1]
for day, intake in enumerate(water_intake, start=1):
if intake >= 2.0:
print(f"Day {day}: You drank enough water!")
else:
print(f"Day {day}: Drink more water tomorrow!")
5. Magic Numbers:
Write a Python program to display the first 5 multiples of a number entered by the user:
- Ask the user to input a number.
- Use a for loop to generate and print the first 5 multiples of the number.
- For example, if the user enters 3, the program should print:
The first 5 multiples of 3 are:
12
15
# Solution
number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
print(f"The first 5 multiples of {number} are:")
for i in range(1, 6):
print(number * i)
6. Collecting Coins:
Write a Python program to count the number of coins in 4 treasure chests:
- Create a list with the number of coins in each treasure chest (e.g., [50, 120, 90, 30]).
- Use a for loop to print how many coins each chest contains, with the message:
'Treasure chest <chest_number> contains <coins> coins.'
# Solution
treasure_chests = [50, 120, 90, 30]
for chest_number, coins in enumerate(treasure_chests, start=1):
print(f"Treasure chest {chest_number} contains {coins} coins.")
7. Guessing Game for Secret Numbers:
Write a Python program to check if a list of guesses contains the secret number:
- Define a secret number (e.g., 7).
- Create a list of guesses made by the user (e.g., [3, 5, 7, 9, 11]).
- Use a for loop to go through each guess in the list.
- Print:
- 'Guess <guess>: Correct!' if the guess matches the secret number.
- 'Guess <guess>: Wrong, try again.' if it does not match.
# Solution
secret_number = 7
guesses = [3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
for guess in guesses:
if guess == secret_number:
print(f"Guess {guess}: Correct!")
else:
print(f"Guess {guess}: Wrong, try again.")
8. Candy Distribution:
Write a Python program to distribute candies equally among 3 children:
- Assume you have 15 candies in total.
- Use a for loop to print how many candies each child gets, with the message:
'Child <child_number> gets <candies_per_child> candies.'
# Solution
total_candies = 15
children = 3
candies_per_child = total_candies // children
for child in range(1, children + 1):
print(f"Child {child} gets {candies_per_child} candies.")
9. Star Ratings:
Write a Python program to display a 5-star rating system for a product:
- Use a for loop to print one additional star (*) in each line.
- The final output should look like this:
**
***
****
*****
# Solution
for i in range(1, 6):
print('*' * i)
10. Days Until Vacation:
Write a Python program to count down the days until a vacation starts:
- Assume you have 5 days left until vacation.
- Use a for loop to print:
'5 days left...', '4 days left...', and so on, until it reaches: 'Vacation starts now!'.
# Solution
days_left = 5
for day in range(days_left, 0, -1):
print(f"{day} days left...")
print("Vacation starts now!")
