Question
def second_largest(lst: List[int]) -> int:
"""
Given a list <lst> of integers, return the second largest item in the list
without modifying <lst>. You cannot use any of python's builtin sorting
functions. Do not attempt to sort the list yourself either.
For example, an input [1, 2, 3] should return an output of 2, since 2 is
the second largest integer in the list.
Note that when we say second largest, we do not mean second largest
distinct element. That means that [1, 2, 4, 4] should return 4, not 2.

- please code in pythonWrite a function that takes in a number and returns the sum of all primes less than or equal to that number. You'll need your answer to the previous problem to answer this.Example: sum_primes(11) == 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 == 28Bonus: Can you do this in one line with a list comprehension?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). AFTER the loop…arrow_forwardBinary Search of Strings1. Write a version of the selection sort algorithm presented in the unit, which is usedto search a list of strings.2. Write a version of the binary search algorithm presented in the unit, which isused to search a list of strings. (Use the selection sort that you designed aboveto sort the list of strings.)3. Create a test program that primes the list with a set of strings, sorts the list, andthen prompts the user to enter a search string. Your program should then searchthe list using your binary search algorithm to determine if the string is in the list.Allow the user to continue to search for strings until they choose to exit theprogramarrow_forward
- 2. count_fred_and_ted Given a list of strings called names , count up how many of those names are either "fred" or "ted", and return the count. Sample calls should look like: >>> count_fred_and_ted(["sarah", "bimmy", "fred", "eliza", "ted", "ted"]) 3 >> count_fred_and_ted(["sarah", "bimmy", "bimmy", "bimmy", "bimmy"]) >>> count_fred_and_ted(["fred", "ted", "fred", "ted"]) 4 >>> count_fred_and_ted([])arrow_forwardWrite a function called remove_odd that takes a list of numbers that have both even and odd numbers mixed.# Function should remove all the odd numbers and return a compact list which only contains the even numbers. Example1: Function Call:remove_odd ([21, 33, 44, 66, 11, 1, 88, 45, 10, 9])Output:[44, 66, 88, 10]arrow_forwardpython LAB: Subtracting list elements from max When analyzing data sets, such as data for human heights or for human weights, a common step is to adjust the data. This can be done by normalizing to values between 0 and 1, or throwing away outliers. Write a program that adjusts a list of values by subtracting each value from the maximum value in the list. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of integers that follow.arrow_forward
- in python Integer num_samples is read from input, representing the number of data samples to be read from input. List data_list contains the data samples read from the remaining input. For each element in data_list: If the element is greater than 25, output the element followed by ' at index ', the element's index in the list, and ' is flagged'. Otherwise, output the element followed by ' at index ', the element's index in the list, and ' is normal'.arrow_forwardUsing c++ Contact list: Binary Search 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 binary search. Modify the algorithm to output the count of how many comparisons using == with the contactName 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 Frank 867-5309 Joe…arrow_forwardIn python We have a list (named data) of numbers sorted in ascending order, for example: data = [2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20] Write a function (named DataVar(data)), which take a list (data) as input parameter and performs the following steps on the list: 1) it finds the mean m of the data (for the given example, it is m = (2 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 17 + 18 + 20)/10 =110/10 = 11). 2) then, it finds the difference of data and m. Essentially, it finds for all data: Diff = data-m For the given example, Diff = [-9, -7, -6, -2, -1, 1, 2, 6, 7, 9]. 3) then, it finds the sum of Diff and 7. Essentially, it finds for all data: Sums = Diff+7 For the given example, Sums = [-2, 0, 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16]. 4) then, it finds the square of all the elements of Sums, such that Squares = square of the elements of Sums. For the given example, Squares = [4, 0, 1, 25, 36, 64, 81, 169, 196, 256]. 5) it finds the average of Squares and stores it in result, and returns it. For the given…arrow_forward
- Complete the reverse_list() function that returns a new string list containing all contents in the parameter but in reverse order. Ex: If the input list is: ['a', 'b', 'c'] then the returned list will be: ['c', 'b', 'a'] Note: Use a for loop. DO NOT use reverse() or reversed(). This is my code so far: def reverse_list(letters): for x in (letters): letters.sort(reverse=True) return lettersif __name__ == '__main__': ch = ['a', 'b', 'c'] print(reverse_list(ch)) # Should print ['c', 'b', 'a'] When submitting I get 4/10 and it says: Test input list ['a', 'b', 'c'] returns ['c', 'b', 'a'] Your output reverse_list() function reversed array incorrectly: ['c', 'b', 'a'] reverse_list() function should have returned: ['a', 'b', 'c'] Test input list ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], first element of returned list is ['d'] Your output First character of returned array should be a instead of d Test empty input array TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()arrow_forwardI dont really have a full grasp on loops can someone explain to me this ?Store the list of denominators in your program as shown below:list_den = [2, 3, 4, 0, 5, 6, 8]Write a program that prompts the user for numbers and store the input numbers in a list of numerators called list_num. list_num must contain the same number of elements as list_den. If the user inputs a number that is lower than 10, display an error message and repeat the process until list_num contains numbers that are greater than or equal to 10.You will now divide a number in the list_num by the corresponding number from list_den and store the result in another list named result. You will use a loop to do this. For example, the first item in result will contain the result of dividing the first item in the list_num by the first item in list_den, and so on.Since list_den contains a denominator with the value 0, you will need to store -1 as the result when a division by zero is attempted.arrow_forwardNo explicit loops must be used.
