- Description of the Problem Write a program to allow the academic staff to enter the coursework marks and final marks for the students. The program reads scores in three categories: test, assignments and final. Each category is weighted: its points are scaled up to a fraction of the 100 percent grade for the course. As the program begins reading each category, it first prompts for the category's weight. The user begins by entering student id and name follows by the scores earned on test. The program asks whether test scores were shifted, interpreting an answer of 1 to mean "yes" and 2 to mean "no." If there is a shift, the program prompts for the shift amount, and the shift is added to the user's test score. Exam scores are capped at a max of 100; for example, if the user got 95 and there was a shift of 10, the score to use would be 100. The midterm's "weighted score" is printed, which is equal to the user's score multiplied by the exam's weight. Next, the program prompts for data about…arrow_forwardWrite a program named stars.py that has two functions for generating star polygons. One function should be implemented using an iteration (a for loop), and another function should be a recursion. It is optional to fill in your shapes. The functions for generating stars should be named star (size, n, d=2) and star_recursive (size, n, level, d=2), where size is the size of the polygon side (edge), n is the number of sides (or angles), d is a density or winding number that should be set to default value 2, and level is the level of recursion initially equal to n.arrow_forwardPython Algorithm Question (similar to celebrity Python problem). Having trouble implementing the algorithm. Here's the question: Let’s say you’re going to invite some people to a party. You’re considering n friends, but you knowthat they will only have a good time if each of them knows at least k others at the party. (Assume that if A knows B, then B automatically knows A.) Solve your problem by designing an algorithm for finding the largest possible subset of your friends where everyone knows at least k of the others, if such a subset exists. To help you get started I’ve made a graph of “my friends”: G={'Rachel':['Ross','Monica'], 'Ross':['Rachel','Monica'], 'Monica':['Rachel','Ross'], 'Jon Snow':['Daenerys','Sansa','Arya'], 'Daenerys':['Jon Snow','Sansa','Arya','Khal Drogo'], 'Sansa':['Jon Snow','Daenerys','Arya'], 'Arya':['Jon Snow','Daenerys','Sansa'], 'Khal Drogo':['Daenerys'], 'Cersei':['Jaime'], 'Jaime':['Cersei'], 'Bart':['Milhouse'], 'Milhouse':['Bart','Lisa'],…arrow_forward
- How to attempt? Question: Given a string, write a recursive function which will print one character of a string at one time by removing white spaces and the following special characters [#../?]. Example: Input: Hello User Output: Recursive call 1: r Recursive call 2: e Recursive call 3: s Recursive call 4: U Recursive call 5: o Recursive call 6: 1 Recursive call 7:1 Recursive call 8: e Recursive call 9: Harrow_forwardPython programming also screenshotarrow_forwardConsider a network of streets laid out in a rectangular grid, In a northeast path from one point in the grid to another, one may walk only to the north (up) and to the east (right). Write a program that must use a recursive function to count the number of northeast paths from one point to another in a rectangular grid. Your program should prompt the user to input the numbers of points to the north and to east respectively, and then output the total number of paths. Notes: 1. Here is a file (timer.h download and timer.cpp download) which should be included in your program to measure time in Window or Unix (includes Mac OS and Linux) systems (use start() for the beginning of the algorithm, stop() for the ending, and show() for printing). 2. The computing times of this algorithm is very high, and the number of paths may be overflow, don't try input numbers even over 16. 3. Name your recursive function prototype as calcPath(int north, int east) to ease grading. 4. Paste your outputarrow_forward
- Python: How do I create a recursive function asterisk with both recursive and base cases? so for n=3, you would have below; *** ** * code that I have: for i in range(n): print("*",end="")arrow_forwardWhich of the following is false? A) Problems that cannot be solved using loops can be solved with recursive functions B) Recursive functions have a recursive case that does work and then calls the function again. They also have a base case that solves the most basic instance of the problem. C) It only makes sense to use recursive functions to solve problems with integer answers. D) Upon execution of a recursive function, python stores different instances of the function's local variables and arguments for each recursion call.arrow_forwardConvert Newton's method for approximating square roots in Project 1 to a recursive function named newton .

- Computer scientists and mathematicians often use numbering systems other than base 10. Write a program that allows a user to enter a number and a base and then prints out the digits of the number in the new base. Use a recursive function baseConversion (num, base) to print the digits. Hint: Consider base 10. To get the rightmost digit of a base 10 number, simply look at the remainder after dividing by 10. For example, 153 % 10 is 3. To get the remaining digits, you repeat the process on 15, which is just 153 // 10. This same process works for any base. The only problem is that we get the digits in reverse order (right to left). The base case for the recursion occurs when num is less than base and the output is simply num. In the general case, the function (recursively) prints the digits of num // base and then prints num % base. You should put a space between successive outputs, since bases greater than 10 will print out with multi-character "digits." For example, baseConversion(1234,…arrow_forwardFlowchart, create.
