List of Experiments/Programs:

1.)Write a program that asks the user for a weight in kilograms and converts it to pounds. There are 2.2
pounds in a kilogram.

2) Write a program that asks the user to enter three numbers (use three separate input statements). Create
variables called total and average that hold the sum and average of the three numbers and print out the
values of total and average.

3) Write a program that uses a for loop to print the numbers 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, . . . , 83, 86,89.

4) Writeaprogramthataskstheuserfortheirnameandhowmanytimestoprintit.The program should print out

the user’s name the specified number of times.

5) Use a for loop to print a triangle like the one below. Allow the user to specify how high the triangle
should be.

6) Generate a random number between 1 and 10. Ask the user to guess the number and print a message
based on whether they get it right or not.

7) Write a program that asks the user for two numbers and prints Close if the numbers are within .001
of each other and Not close otherwise.

8) Write a program that asks the user to enter a word and prints out whether that word contains any
vowels.

9) Write a program that asks the user to enter two strings of the same length. The program should then
check to see if the strings are of the same length. If they are not, the program should print an appropriate
message and exit. If they are of the same length, the program should alternate the characters of the two
strings. For example, if the user enters abcde and ABCDE the program should print out AaBbCcDdEe

10) Write a program that asks the user for a large integer and inserts commas into it according to the
standard American convention for commas in large numbers. For instance, if the user enters 1000000,
the output should be1,000,000.

11) In algebraic expressions, the symbol for multiplication is often left out, as in 3x+4y or 3(x+5).
Computers prefer those expressions to include the multiplication symbol, like 3*x+4*y or 3*(x+5).
Write a program that asks the user for an algebraic expression and then inserts multiplication symbols
where appropriate.

12) Write a program that generates a list of 20 random numbers between 1 and100. (a) Print the list. (b)
Print the average of the elements in the list. (c) Print the largest and smallest values in the list. (d) Print
the second largest and second smallest entries in the list (e) Print how many even numbers are in the
list.

13) Write a program that asks the user for an integer and creates a list that consists of the factors of that
integer.

14) Write a program that generates 100 random integers that are either 0 or 1. Then find the longest
run of zeros, the largest number of zeros in a row. For instance, the longest run of zeros in
[1,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0] is4.

15) Write a program that removes any repeated items from a list so that each item appears at most once.
For instance, the list [1,1,2,3,4,3,0,0] would become[1,2,3,4,0]

16) Write a program that asks the user to enter a length in feet. The program should then give the user
the option to convert from feet into inches, yards, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, or kilometers.
Say if the user enters a 1, then the program converts to inches, if they enter a 2, then the program
converts to yards, etc. While this can be done with if statements, itis much shorter with lists and it is
also easier to add new conversions if you use lists.

17) Write a function called sum_digits that is given an integer num and returns the sum of the digits of
num.

18) Write a function called first_diff that is given two strings and returns the first location in which the
strings differ. If the strings are identical, it should return-1.

19) Write a function called number_of_factors that takes an integer and returns how many factors the
number has.

20) Write a function called is_sorted that is given a list and returns True if the list is sorted and False
otherwise.

21) Write a function called root that is given a number x and an integer n and returns x1/n. In the
function definition, set the default value of n to2.

22) Write a function called primes that is given a number n and returns a list of the first n primes. Let
the default value of n be100.
23) Write a function called merge that takes two already sorted lists of possibly different lengths, and
merges them into a single sorted list. (a) Do this using the sort method. (b) Do this without using the
sort method.

24)Write a program that asks the user for a word and finds all the smaller words that can be made from
the letters of that word. The number of occurrences of a letter in a smaller word can’t exceed the number
of occurrences of the letter in the user’s word.

25) Write a program that reads a file consisting of email addresses, each on its own line. Your program
should print out a string consisting of those email addresses separated by semicolons.

26) Write a program that reads a list of temperatures from a file called temps.txt, converts those
temperatures to Fahrenheit, and writes the results to a file called ftemps.txt.

2
27) Write a class called Time whose only field is a time in seconds. It should have a method called
convert_to_minutes that returns a string of minutes and seconds formatted as in the following example:
if seconds is 230, the method should return '5:50'. It should also have a method called convert_to_hours
that returns a string of hours, minutes, and seconds formatted analogously to the previous method.

28) Write a Python class to implement pow(x,n).

29) Write a Python class to reverse a string word by word.

30) Write a program that opens a file dialog that allows you to select a text file. The program then
displays the contents of the file in a textbox.

31) Write a program to demonstrate Try/except/else.

32) Write a program to demonstrate try/finally and with/as
