Question
Write a python function called substrand() that takes two DNA strands (strings) as parameters and checks if one is a subst
ring of the other. Your program should do the following:
1. take two strings as parameters. The function will check if the second is a substring of the first.
2. Check if the sub DNA strand is a substring of the first DNA strand.
3. print a message indicating whet
her it is or not. If it is a substring, then also print the
position of the first letter.
Example:
substrand(“AATTCAT”, “CAT”)
prints:
CAT is a substrand of AATTCAT starting at position 4 substrand(“CAAAT”, “CAT”)
prints:
CAT is not a substrand of CAAAT
Hint: use the string.find() method.

- Write a complete C++ program that prints the change in population of the the United States: p = p + Bp Dp where p is the population, B is the birth rate of 12.4 births for every 1000 people (12.4/1000) each year, and D is the death rate of 8.4 for every 1000 people (8.4/1000). In 2017, the population of United States was 325.7 million. Your program should ask the user for the number of years and print expected population over those years starting from 2017. Each line should have: the year and the population (in millions). A sample run: Please enter the number of years: 10 Year 2017 325.70 Year 2018 327.00 Year 2019 328.31 Year 2020 329.62 Year 2021 330.94 Year 2022 332.27 Year 2023 333.60 Year 2024 334.93 Year 2025 336.27 Year 2026 337.61arrow_forwardWrite a function that receives a positive integer n as a parameter, then it must calculate the sum 1+2+3+...+n.

- Hello, I have an assignment in the python program. Professor gives me a text like this: January.txt 217283921200.5619.18,29.15,78.75,212.10100,20,410.29 The first line is an account number, the second line is the beginning balance, the third line is withdrawn and the last line is deposits. How can I separate every single line to read them. Can I use the loop function? Below is the assignment direction. Thank you very much ___________________________________________________________ Complete the following program: a) Read in and store the data from the file called “January.txt”. This file includes the customer’s account number, beginning balance, withdrawals, and deposits. (In that order) Note: Make sure you look at the file before you begin the project! b) Prompt the user for his/her name and age. c) Convert the customer’s name to a username that consists of the first letter of the first name, the first 5 digits of last name, and the customer’s age.(All letters should be lowercase)…arrow_forwardWrite a function sum(x,y) that returns a string indicating what the sum of x and y is.
