10Co6 Cover Work

1.0. Data Types and Operators

1.1. Write a python program which displays the line: “Gorillas are the largest living
primates” and on the next line “Gorilla gorilla gorilla” with one print statement
making use of “\n” in the output.

1.2. Get an input from the user, save it as a variable called “name” and then output the
lines 1.1. but replace gorilla with the name the user has input hint you can use
print(“Gorillas are the largest living primates\n”, name) – see what impact this has

1.3. Create an integer, real/float, char/character, string and Boolean variables

1.4. Make use of all the following arithmetic operators: Addition, Subtraction,
Multiplication, Division and Exponentiation. Hint:

2.0. Selection
2.1. Code a Boolean expression that asks if 10 times 7 is equal to 70 and then prints
success if that is true. Hint:

2.2. What will be printed for the following:

A = 24/8
B = 24+8
Print(A==B)

FALSE

2.3. Change the code in 2.2. to make it print True instead

2.4. Print((10 == 5 *2) and (45 != 9 * 5)) will display what and explain why

Insert Screenshot of code and solution working here

FALSE as 9*5 does equal 45 so one of the off the solution is false. A TRUE and FALSE OUTPUT
FALSE
3.0. Iteration

3.1. Write a program for an arcade game which will print “You win!” 3 times and then
print “Congratulations!” using a for loop

3.2. Write a program to count down from 10 to 0 and display each value on a separate
line

3.3. Write a program which will ask the user which times table they would like to see
displayed. Then get the users and number and show 2 to 12 times table for that
number

3.4. Write a program to ask the user to input two positive integers a and b where a < b.
Print all numbers between a and b inclusive that are divisible by 13

3.5. Write a program to count numbers from 0 to 100 in 5s and print them all on one
line. Tip include the parameter end = “” in print statements e.g. print(n, end = “”) to
prevent going to a new line after executing a print statement

3.6. Write a program to:

 Allow a user to enter the names and years of five Olympic Games cities
 Calculate and print the names and years of the two cities with the most
recent and earliest years

4.0. List
https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_lists.asp
4.1. Write a program to create a list of planets – add every planet in our solar system
then print these out using iteration

4.2. Use list.append() to add more planets from other solar systems and print the
updated list

4.3. Write a program to ask the user to enter the number of astronauts sent on space
missions in the years 2016 to 2020 e.g. “How many astronauts on space missions in
2016?”
Store the numbers in a list named astronauts (each year being own element)
Print the list and the total number of astronauts sent on space missions from 2016
to 2020.

4.4. Write a statement to initialise a list named totals containing 100 zeros. Hint you can
make a list of 7 zeros by doing the following:
“mylist = [0]*7”

4.5. Write a program which creates two lists each with 6 elements:
 One list stores the name of planets
 Second list stores the size of the planets relative to Earth
 Then use a for loop (iteration) to output both e.g. “Jupiter 1120% size of
Earth”

5.0. Strings
https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_strings.asp
5.1. Run the following code and explain using comments in the code what is happening:
numChars = len(“5 Oak Street Anytown”)
print(numChars)

5.2. Run the following code and explain using comments in the code what is happening:
Print(len(“Mary\nJo”))

5.3. Create a program that asks the user to enter their name and then prints the number
of characters in their name and the first and last characters

5.4. Write a program to ask the user to enter a sentence. Calculate and print the number
of times the letter “e” appears in the sentence

 5.5. Using the techniques used above: Write a program that asks the user to enter a new
password. The password must be at least 10 characters long and the user is
repeatedly asked to re-enter a password if it is less than 10 characters (iteration).
Once the user has entered a valid password, the user is asked to verify it by entering
it a second time. If it matches, the message “Password accepted” is printed.
Otherwise an error message is printed and the program terminates.
