- The two-dimensional lists m1 and m2 are strictly identical if their corresponding elements are equal. Write a function that returns True if m1 and m2 are strictly identical, using the following header:def equals(m1, m2):Write a test program that prompts the user to enter two lists of integers and displays whether the two are strictly identical.arrow_forwardIN PYTHON: Using a function, create a list of 20 numbers randomly between 1-99. With recursive function, you are going to take the numbers from the list, one at a time starting at position 0 and add them together. If the numbers added together equals a user specified sum, stop the program and show the two digits that sum together. If not, remove the first number from the list and add the next two. Continue running the program until you have reached the end of the list. sample output: randomly selected numbers: [61, 6, 78, 3, 64, 22, 11, 9, 34, 99, 31, 56, 43, 8, 77, 27, 93, 47, 58, 20] User input : 86 61 + 6 = 67 FALSE [6, 78, 3, 64, 22, 11, 9, 34, 99, 31, 56, 43, 8, 77, 27, 93, 47, 58, 20] 6 + 78 = 84 FALSE [78, 3, 64, 22, 11, 9, 34, 99, 31, 56, 43, 8, 77, 27, 93, 47, 58, 20] 78 + 3 = 81 FALSE [3, 64, 22, 11, 9, 34, 99, 31, 56, 43, 8, 77, 27, 93, 47, 58, 20] 3 + 64 = 67 FALSE [64, 22, 11, 9, 34, 99, 31, 56, 43, 8, 77, 27, 93, 47, 58, 20] 64 + 22 = 86 TRUE!arrow_forwardModify the recursive Fibonacci function to employ the memoization technique discussed in this chapter. The function creates a dictionary and then defines a nested recursive helper function named memoizedFib. You will need to create a dictionary to cache the sum of the fib function. The base case of the fib function is the same as before. However, before making any recursive calls, the helper function looks up the value for the function’s current argument in the dictionary (use the method get, with None as the default value). If the value exists, the function returns it and skips any recursive calls. Otherwise, after the helper function adds the results of its two recursive calls, it saves the sum in the dictionary with the current argument of the function as the key. Note: The program should output in the following format: n fib(n) 2 1 4 3 8 21 16 987 32 2178309 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- def…arrow_forward
- 1 - Write a Python function that will do the following: 1. Ask the user to input an integer that will be appended to a list that was originally empty. This will be done 5 times, meaning that when the input is complete, the list will have five elements (all integers). a. Determine whether each element is an even number or an odd number b. Return a list of five string elements "odd" and "even" that map the indexes of the elements of the input list, according to whether these elements are even or odd numbers.For example: if the input sequence is 12, 13, 21, 51, and 30, the function will return the list ["even", "odd", "odd", "odd", "even"].arrow_forwardWrite a recursive function that accepts a number and returns its factorial. b. Write a recursive function that accepts an array, its size and the index of the initial element as arguments. The function fills the array with the elements of the following sequence: n1 = 3, nk+1 = nk+35 c. Write an iterative and a recursive versions of the binary search. In C++ codingarrow_forwardWrite a RECURSIVE function, without using any loops, that prints the contents of a matrix with 3 columns. The function should take the matrix and the number of rows as arguments. void print_matrix(int arr[][3], int num_rows);arrow_forward
- The function sum_evens in python takes a list of integers and returns the sum of all the even integers in the list. For example: Test Result print(sum_evens([1, 5, 2, 5, 3, 5, 4])) 6 print(sum_evens([5, 5, -5, -5])) 0 print(sum_evens([16, 24, 30])) 70arrow_forwardWrite a program with two functions: addToList(food): printList(food): Print the entire list food is used to pass a list to the function. Ask the user to input another food item. The main program will create a list: myList["apple", "oralge", "grapes] Call the function printList, using myList Call the function addToList, using myList Call the function printList, using myListarrow_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_forward
