Consider this very simple function: def cube(x): answer = x*X*X return answer a) Here is a fragment of a program that uses this function: answer = 4 result = cube (3) print (answer, result) The output from this fragment is 4 27. Explain why the output is not 27 27, even though cube seems to change the value of answer to 27.

Write a program in Python with a function perfectcube(n), which returns True if n is a perfect cube and returns False otherwise. Notice that this function is not printing anything, but rather returning True or False. The function must use exhaustive enumeration to check if n is a perfect cube. Use the function in a program where you ask the user for n and you print a statement like "Yes, that is a perfect cube" or "No, that number is not a perfect cube".

Write program in python with a function occupy(n), which shows how birds are going to occupy n nests, assuming that each new bird will choose the nest in the middle of the largest unoccupied run of nests. For example, if there were 10 nests, occupy(10) would print out the following sequence, where underscore indicates an unoccupied nest, and X indicates an occupied nest. The first line of the printout is just 10 underscores showing that all the nests are unoccupied. The second line shows that a bird came to nest in position 5, since that is one the first middle positions of the unoccupied run from 0 to 9. In the third line a bird came to occupy the middle position for the longest open run of nests, from 0 to index 4.
Please answer it in Python Write a function double_consonnant that takes as an argument a word and has two return values: a Boolean worth True if the word contains a double consonant (twice the same consonant in a row), and in this case the second return value is the consonant that is doubled; if there is no doubled consonant, the function must return False and None. If the word contains several double consonants (for example, 'successor'), true will be returned and the first double consonant appearing in the word. Examples: double_consonne('arrivee') is true, 'r'. double_consonne (‘bonbon’) is false, None double_consonne('appelle') is True, 'p'
Write a function rps in Python that returns the result of a game of "Rock,Paper, Scissors". The function accepts two arguments, each one of 'R','P','S' , that represents the symbol played by each of the two players. The function returns: -1 if the first player wins0 if a tie1 if the second player winsScissors beats Paper beats Rock beats Scissors Sample usage: >>> rps('R','P') # player 2 wins, return 11
Write a fruitful function sum_to(n) that returns the sum of all integer numbers up to and including n. So sum_to(10) would be 1+2+3...+10 which would return the value 55. Put your program in sum_numbers.py
Write the code in python to define a function has_repeat(mystr), which takes a string parameter and returns a boolean result. - If mystr has a character that is repeated (count is more than 1 for that character), return True - Otherwise, return False Hint: You can solve this problem by iterating over the characters in mystr and comparing each character's count with 1. For example: Test Result print(has_repeat("Happy")) True print(has_repeat("sad")) False print(has_repeat("salmons")) True print(has_repeat("Trouts")) False
Write a program which will take marks of three quizzes as input, then call a function void ScaleUp(float q1, float q2, float q3) to check if the marks of any of the quiz ‘q’ is less than the average of rest of two quizzes ‘a’. If marks of any quiz is less than the average of the rest of two marks then add the difference between the average of the two quizzes and the quiz itself to q i.e., q = a - q, to scale up the quiz marks.For example, if q1 = 5, q2 = 8 and q3 = 9 then your function will change the marks of quiz 1 using the steps below:A = (q3 + q2 )/2 => (8+9)/2=> 8.5 Diff = A - q1 => 8.5 - 5 => 3.5 Q1 = Q1 + Diff => 5 + 3.5 => 8.5Note that the marks are input from the user, so there might be three cases I. if q1 < q2 + q3 orIi. if q2 < q1 + q3 orIii. if q3 < q1 + q2
Write a program in python with a function hello(name), which prints "Hello" followed by the value of name. For example, hello('James') would print "Hello James". Write a program that asks the user for their name, and then uses the function to greet the person.
Write a program in Python with a function biggestOdd(), which reads in numbers from the user until the user enters 0. Then the function returns (not prints) the largest odd number that was entered. For example, if the integers were: 10, 9, 7, 12, 2, 5, 15, 100, 90, 60, 0, then the program would return 15 as the largest odd number. Similarly, if the integers were -55, -33, -10, 100, -5, 0, then the program would return -33 as the largest odd number. If there is no odd number, then the function should return 0.
Write a function PrintShampooInstructions(), with int parameter numCycles, and void return type. If numCycles is less than 1, print "Too few.". If more than 4, print "Too many.". Else, print "N: Lather and rinse." numCycles times, where N is the cycle number, followed by "Done.". End with a newline. Example output with input 2: 1: Lather and rinse.2: Lather and rinse.Done.Hint: Declare and use a loop variable. #include <iostream>using namespace std; /* Your solution goes here */ int main() {int userCycles; cin >> userCycles;PrintShampooInstructions(userCycles); return 0;} Please help me with this problem using c++.
