Question
(Format an integer) Write a function with the following header to format the inte- ger with the specified width.
def format(number, width):
The function returns a string for the number with prefix 0s. The size of the string is the width. For example, format(34, 4) returns "0034" and format(34, 5) returns "00034". If the number is longer than the width, the function returns the string representation for the number. For example, format(34, 1) returns "34".
Write a test program that prompts the user to enter a number and its width and dis- plays a string returned from invoking format(number, width). Here is a sample run:

Transcribed Image Text:**Transcription for Educational Website**
**User Input and Output Formatting**
- **Enter an integer:** 453
- **Enter the width:** 6
- **Output:** The formatted number is 000453
**Description:**
This example demonstrates how to format an integer with a specified width by padding it with leading zeros. When the user inputs the integer '453' and specifies a width of '6', the program outputs the number as '000453'. This ensures that the total number of characters (including leading zeros) matches the specified width. This technique is often used in programming to ensure consistent formatting for numbers, especially in cases like printing reports, creating identifiers, and aligning numerical data.

- (python) 9. Create a function based on the following information: You are given two strings with words separated by commas. Try to find what is common between these strings. The words in the same string don't repeat. Your function should find all of the words that appear in both strings. The result must be represented as a string of words separated by commas in alphabetic order. Input: Two arguments as strings. Output: The common words as a string. Return: Nothing is returnedarrow_forward(a) Write the following functions and their docstrings: • between (num1, num2, num3) takes 3 integer arguments and returns True if num2 is between num1 and num3. It is not between them if it is equal to either of the other two. For example, given the inputs 5, 3 and 0, the value returned should be True. Given the inputs -2, 2 and 2, False should be returned. Note that there is no restriction that num1 must be less than num3. • majorityEven (num_list) returns True if more than half of the integers in the num_list are di- visible by 2, with no remainder, otherwise it returns False. The list can be of any size. Recall that zero is divisible by 2 with no remainder. For example, the function should return False for the list [1,2,3,6] (as only two of the four numbers are divisible by 2) and True for the list [0,1,-4] (as two of the three numbers are divisible by 2). (b) Generate at least six test cases for each function you wrote in part (a). You may use white-box and/or black-box test case…arrow_forward[Python] Write a function called “add_spaces” that takes in an argument called “initial_string”. initial_string will always be a non empty string. The function should return the same string but with an added space in between all of the letters. If there are already spaces in the initial_string passed in, you should not add an extra space in between those spaces.arrow_forward
- Python (this is not graded this is practice work that is not graded) write and test a function which takes two dates (month, day) list arguments.When the function is called with the two arguments, it returns the number of days betweenthose two dates. Print the returned value. It is assumed that the first date occurs first. Forinstance, if the users calls the function with FUNCTION([12, 10], [12, 20]) as arguments, thereturned value is 10 days. However, if FUNCTION([12, 20], [12, 10]) is called, the returnedvalue is -10 days.Assume February has 28 days.Test data: [10, 30], [5, 20] [1, 30], [5, 25] [5, 25], [1, 30] [1, 1], [12, 31]arrow_forward(PYTHON) Write a program with a function that takes a string; if the length of a string is even, the functionshould add an asterisk at the beginning of a string; else, the function should add asterisks at the end ofa string. The function, then, capitalizes all letters and returns the new string The program should let the user enter a string and pass it to the function.arrow_forward
