Question
(7) Implement the ShortenSpace() function. ShortenSpace() has a string parameter and updates the string by replacing all sequences of 2 or more spaces with a single space. ShortenSpace() DOES NOT output the string. Call ShortenSpace() in the PrintMenu() function, and then output the edited string.
Ex:
Edited text: We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue!

- Objectives Practice defining functions with parameters. Practice manipulating strings. Implement your own version of Python string methods The provided file string_functions.py defines several string functions, but does not include the code for them. Add code to implement functions that are equivalent in behavior to the corresponding built-in Python string function. Every function MUST return a value. Use loops to implement your functions. You cannot use built-in string methods, string functions, or string-operators to implement your functions. Each function is worth a maximum of 10 points. 1. cs110_upper: Takes a string as a parameter and returns it as a string in all uppercase. Hint: Use the ord () function to get the ASCI value of a character. For example, ord ('a') returns the integer 97. You will also need to use the chr (value) function that returns a string of one character whose ASCII code is the integer valus. For example, chr (97) returns the string 'a'. You cannot use the…arrow_forwardCreate a function that takes a string and returns the number of alphanumeric characters that occur more than once. Examples duplicateCount("abcde") duplicateCount("aabbcde") → 2 duplicateCount("Indivisibilities") - duplicateCount("Aa") 0 // Case sensitive Narrow_forwardImplement the following function: Code should be written in python.arrow_forward
- Return Something to Me! Write a function that returns the string "something" joined with a space " " and the given argument a. Examples giveMeSomething("is better than nothing") → "something is better than nothing" giveMeSomething ("Bob Jane") → "something Bob Jane" - → "something something" giveMeSomething("something")arrow_forwardCreate a function that will test if a string is a valid PIN or not via a regular expression. A valid PIN has: Exactly 4 or 6 characters. Only numeric characters (0-9). • No whitespace. Examples validate("121317") → true validate("1234") → true validate("45135") → false validate("89abc1") → false validate("900876") → true validate(" 4983") falsearrow_forwardAdd a function to get the CPI values from the user and validate that they are greater than 0. 1. Declare and implement a void function called getCPIValues that takes two float reference parameters for the old_cpi and new_cpi. 2. Move the code that reads in the old_cpi and new_cpi into this function. 3. Add a do-while loop that validates the input, making sure that the old_cpi and new_cpi are valid values. + if there is an input error, print "Error: CPI values must be greater than 0." and try to get data again. 4. Replace the code that was moved with a call to this new function. - Add an array to accumulate the computed inflation rates 1. Declare a constant called MAX_RATES and set it to 20. 2. Declare an array of double values having size MAX_RATES that will be used to accumulate the computed inflation rates. 3. Add code to main that inserts the computed inflation rate into the next position in the array. 4. Be careful to make sure the program does not overflow the array. - Add a…arrow_forward
- 1. a.Palindromes Complete the function palindrome(String text). Return true if text is a palindrome; if the word is identical forward and backward. Otherwise, return false. Example: palindrome(“racecar”) == true palindrome(“kayaks”) == false See main() for more examples. You can use text.charAt(i) to find the character at index i of text. Use recursion. palindrome() should call itself. No loops allowed. b. Complete the function nestedBrackets(String s). This function should find properly nested brackets within s. Return true if brackets are opened and closed correctly, and false otherwise. Single pairs and nested pairs are valid. For example: z[z]z, [zz[zz]z], [z[[z]zzz]], zzzzz Incorrect pairings and multiple separate pairs are not valid. For example: zz[zz, ]zzz[, [zzz][z], [z[z][z]z] See main() for more examples. nestedBrackets() should call firstIndexOf() and lastIndexOf() to help you solve the problem. Use recursion. nestedBrackets() should call itself. No loops…arrow_forwardCould you help me with this one too, please Regex, APIs, BeautifulSoup: python import requests, refrom pprint import pprintfrom bs4 import BeautifulSoup complete the missing bodies of the functions below: def group_chat(text_message, friend):"""Question 2- Your friends are blowing up your group chat.

- Complete the rotate_text() function that takes 2 parameters, a string data and an integer n. If n is positive, then the function will shift all the characters in data forward by n positions, with characters at the end of the string being moved to the start of the string. If n is 0 then the text remains the same. For example: rotate_text('abcde', rotate_text('abcde', rotate_text('abcde', 1) would return the string 'eabcd' 3) would return the string 'cdeab' 5) would return the string 'abcde' rotate_text('abcde', 6) would return the string 'eabcd' ... and so on. If n is negative, then the function will shift the characters in data backward by n positions, with characters at the start of the string being moved to the end of the string. For example: rotate text('abcde', -1) would return the string 'bcdea'arrow_forwardhow would i make a javascript function as follows myChoice( items ) This function accepts a list of items as input and creates a function that returns a randomly-chosen item. After choosing a random item, that same item will be always be returned, regardless of the functions input, with one exception. If the first input is the string 'rechoose', then a new random item will be chosen and therafter returned. Examples var a = myChoice( [1, "a", 3, false] ); a( 3, 12 ) => 3 // a random value. Your code may differ. a( 51, -2) => 3 a( "happy", false ) => 3 a( [1,2,3]) => 3 a( 'rechoose') => false // a random value. Your code may differ. a( a, a ) => falsearrow_forwardin c++ codearrow_forward
