Question
Assume that L is a list of Boolean values, True and False. Write a program in python with a function longestFalse(L) which returns a tuple (start, end) representing the start and end indices of the longest run of False values in L. If there is a tie, then return the first such run. For example, if L is
False False True False False False False True True False False
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
then the function would return (3, 6), since the longest run of False is from 3 to 6.

- In c++ and please without the use of vectors. Thanks very much! A contact list is a place where you can store a specific contact with other associated information such as a phone number, email address, birthday, etc. Write a program that first takes as input an integer N that represents the number of word pairs in the list to follow. Word pairs consist of a name and a phone number (both strings). That list is followed by a name, and your program should output the phone number associated with that name. Define and call the following function. The return value of FindContact is the index of the contact with the provided contact name. If the name is not found, the function should return -1 This function should use linear search. Modify the algorithm to output the count of how many comparisons were performed during the search, before it returns the index (or -1). int FindContact(ContactInfo contacts[], int size, string contactName) Ex: If the input is: 3 Joe 123-5432 Linda 983-4123…arrow_forwardConsider the following Python function that performs a linear search. ########################### ####### 1def LinearSearch (numList, value): 2 for item in numList: 3 if item == value: return True mst in 4 5 6 print (LinearSearch([1,2,3,4,5], 3)) return False #### Write the output from the Python code.

- Write a program called p3.py that contains a function called reveal_recursive() that takes a word (string) and the length of the word (int) as input and has the following functionality: 1. prints the word where all characters are replaced by underscores 2. continue to print the word revealing one character at a time. i.e., the second line printed should print the first character followed by “_”’s representing the rest of the word. (see example below) 3. the function should end after printing the entire word once. 4. This function should be recursive Example: #the word is kangaroo ________ k_______ ka______ kan_____ kang____ kanga___ kangar__ kangaro_ kangarooarrow_forwardIn pythonarrow_forwardImplement a function rollsToRepeat in Python that simulates a dice game in which a pair of dice are rolled repeatedly until some total on the dice occurs the specified number of times. Details: accepts one integer argument, n , the number of repeats required before the game ends rolls a pair of dice repeatedly until some dice total has repeated n times returns the total number of times the pair of dice was rolled For example, using a random seed of 85 , the sequence of rolled pairs will be : (2, 6), (5, 1),(3, 2), (2, 4), (3, 5), (2, 6), (4, 5), (5, 2), (6, 5), (5, 5), ... If you runrollsToRepeat with n=1 , only 1 repeat is required. On the first roll, the total 8=2+6 is repeated once (as wouldany first roll). So the simulation stops and the function returns 1. This always happens whenn=1 . n=2 , some total must repeat twice. This first occurs on the 4throll, when the total of 6occurs for the 2ndtime. n=3 , some total must repeat three times. This first occurs on the 6throll, when…arrow_forward
- Python please... Implement a function printIndex() that takes a list as a parameter, prompts the user to enter a whole number n, and prints the element in position Index[n]. If the list is empty ([]) or n is not a valid index into the list, the function will not print anything. Be careful to do the correct thing with negative indices. You should assume that the user will enter a whole number when prompted, and the function will crash if the user does not enter an integer. The function should not change the list passed as a parameter. Hint: Just because this involves a list does not mean that you need a loop to solve the problem. Think carefully about the right construct to use here. The following shows the function template, and several examples runs of the function (you must show all the examples with these values in your submission): Template def printIndex(lst): replace with your docstring newList = lst # ________________________ elementNum =…arrow_forwardThe function interleave_lists in python takes two parameters, L1 and L2, both lists. Notice that the lists may have different lengths. The function accumulates a new list by appending alternating items from L1 and L2 until one list has been exhausted. The remaining items from the other list are then appended to the end of the new list, and the new list is returned. For example, if L1 = ["hop", "skip", "jump", "rest"] and L2 = ["up", "down"], then the function would return the list: ["hop", "up", "skip", "down", "jump", "rest"]. HINT: Python has a built-in function min() which is helpful here. Initialize accumulator variable newlist to be an empty list Set min_length = min(len(L1), len(L2)), the smaller of the two list lengths Use a for loop to iterate k over range(min_length) to do the first part of this function's work. On each iteration, append to newlist the item from index k in L1, and then append the item from index k in L2 (two appends on each iteration).

If there is no solution, return "Not found". The function sums must contain exactly only one loop (either a for-loop or a while-loop), otherwise you will get no point. A nested-loop is considered as more than one loop. You can assume that each given input either have exactly one solution or none. Below is the code of the main function in problem5.py, complete the program by writing the function sums. Note that the values of nums 1, nums2 and target are given in the main function which can be changed in the code. This program does not take any input. if name __main__': nums1 = [11, 2, 15, 7, 8] nums2 = [3, 4, 5] target = 9 print(sums(nums 1, nums2, target)) Example…arrow_forward
