Question
Write a shell script (largest.sh) to display the largest number in a list of numbers specified as command line arguments.
For example:
./largest.sh 4 6 9 2
The largest number is 9
Note: Your program should be applicable for arbitrary number lists but not just for 4 6 9 2 in above example. As long as a list of numbers is given, your program should return the largest value inside the list. The number of elements in the argument list may not necessarily be 4. The runner of your program can give as many numerical arguments as he/she wants to. You can assume that all the input arguments can be interpreted as valid numerical values.

- python" Write a function named count_in_range that takes a list/array of decimal numbers as a parameter. The function must return the number of entries in the parameter whose value is between 11.74 and 35.66. Your count should NOT include any entries whose value is equal to 11.74 or 35.66.arrow_forwardIn C++, write a program that reads in an array of type int. You may assume that there are fewer than 20 entries in the array. The output must be a two-column list. The first column is a list of the distinct array elements and the second column is the count of the number of occurences of each element.arrow_forwardThe code fragment above contains a list of integers named my_list and a pair of counter-controlled loops. Once this code has been executed the variables qux and egg will have been assigned values. Let x denote the average those two values. If you were to create a new list that contains every integer in my_list that is greater than than x but also less than than x + 7 then what would be the length of that list? This question is internally recognized as variant 235. Q13) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 none of the abovearrow_forward
- C++ Code Use the following list to sort it and create a single linked list: 6,13,7,11,9,2,15,5,3,4,10,14 Also make a list of the available memory. Print the list out with the links. Now delete 11 from the list, adding its location to the available memory list, then add 1 and 8 to the list. When you add the 1 you should use the location of the deleted 11 to add 1 there. Add 8 to the next available spot on the available memory list. When you print the list, print out the logical list using the links and also print out physical list without the links to see what the real list looks like.arrow_forwardIn pythonWrite a function called compter_les_votes that accepts a list of ballots as input (of arbitrary length) and produces a report as a dictionary. The ballots have the form of a couple (valid, condidat) where candidate is the name of one of the candidates in the election, and valid is a boolean that indicates whether or not the ballot is valid. For example, for the following list of bulletins: [(True, 'Pierre'), (False, 'Jean'), (True, 'Pierre'), (True, 'Jacques')]Your function must return the following dictionary: { "number of ballots": 4, "invalid ballots": 1, "results": { "Stone": 2, "Jacques": 1 }}Note that you do not have to display the dictionary, only return it.arrow_forwardWrite a function called find_duplicates which accepts one list as a parameter. This function needs to sort through the list passed to it and find values that are duplicated in the list. The duplicated values should be compiled into another list which the function will return. No matter how many times a word is duplicated, it should only be added once to the duplicates list. NB: Only write the function. Do not call it. For example: Test Result random_words = ("remember","snakes","nappy","rough","dusty","judicious","brainy","shop","light","straw","quickest", "adventurous","yielding","grandiose","replace","fat","wipe","happy","brainy","shop","light","straw", "quickest","adventurous","yielding","grandiose","motion","gaudy","precede","medical","park","flowers", "noiseless","blade","hanging","whistle","event","slip") print(find_duplicates(sorted(random_words))) ['adventurous', 'brainy', 'grandiose', 'light', 'quickest', 'shop', 'straw', 'yielding']…arrow_forward
- The function should be written in python language. Write a function called "zero_triples" to return all triples in a list of integers that sum to zero. You can assume the list won't contain any duplicates, and a triple should not use the same number more than once. [In]: zero_triples([1, 2, 4]) [Out]: [] [In]: zero_triples([-3, 1, 4, 2]) [Out]: [[1, 2, -3]] [In]: zero_triples([-9, 1, -3, 2, 4, 5, -4, -1]) [Out]: [[-9, 4, 5], [1, -3, 2], [-3, 4, -1], [5, -4, -1]]arrow_forwardIn python two possible ways pleasearrow_forwardPYTHON!!! Write a function that will filter course grades that are stored in a list, creating and returning a new list. Your implementation must have the following rules: - The function must accept two (and only two) parameters: The first is: the maximum integer value for any grade to remain in the list (any value above the maximum will be filtered and removed from the list). The second is: the list of grades (you can assume the list contains only integer values) - The function must return a new list and not modify the existing list. - The function must use a list comprehension to filter the existing list and create the new list that is returned. - DO NOT USE THE: built-in-"filter" function.arrow_forward
