- Write a python function called replacer() that takes two strings as arguments. Argument1: A sentence where you have to make the changes. Argument2: A word with the values either “vowel” or “consonant”.Your function should replace the characters of the sentence with “V” or “C” depending on the 2nd argument. If the word is “vowel”, then replace all the vowels with “V”. If the word is “consonant”, then replace all the consonants with “C”.[You are not allowed to use the replace() function]Function call1:replacer("It is MAT110 final", "vowels")Sample Output1:Vt Vs MVT110 fVnVlFunction call2:replacer("It is CSE110 final", "consonants")Sample Output 02:IC iC CCE110 CiCaCarrow_forwardHow to write a function in python that takes a string s = kkeeepinng and returns the non-repeating character from strrint s.

- Implement the following function: Code should be written in python.arrow_forwardcode should be python: write a function that allows the input of a list of strings as its only parameter. Inside the body of the function find the first palindromic word and return it. If there is no such word, it should return an empty string. A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward so for example If we call the function with [“horse”, “rat”, “roar”, “dad”, “mom”], the returned value should be “dad”. Note that “mom” is also a palindrome, but it is not the first one.arrow_forwardWrite a C++ Program that does the following: Implement a sort function using a vector.Ask the user to enter numbers to be sorted. Add them to the vector. The user will signal the end of input bygiving you a negative number.Then, sort the vector. Because this is a vector, you don’t need to pass the number of entriesin the vector.Then, print out the vector in order.Remember the following things about vectors.a) You declare a vector v of ints by saying vector⟨int⟩ v;b) You add elements to a vector by saying v.push back(thing to be added);c) You access elements of a vector with [ ] just like an array;d) One of the vector member functions is .length()arrow_forward
- Write a Python function Def readFloat(userPrompt) That displays a prompt string (followed by a space), then reads a floating-point number in, and then returns that number. Here are some examples of typical usage: salary = readFloat(“Please enter your salary:”) percentageRaise = readFloat(“what percentage raise would you like?”) - Using the readFloat function that you wrote, write a Python program that will accept any number of floating-point numbers. When the user prompts “done”, the program should report out all of the numbers entered, the count of the numbers entered, the sum of the numbers entered, and the average of the numbers entered.arrow_forwardPlease I need it quickly !!! In 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…arrow_forwardThe following requirments that weren't mentioned for solving the following Python Code below: The provided code for alphabet, test_dups, test_miss, and histogram. Your implementation of the has_duplicates function. A loop that outputs duplicate information for each string in test_dups. Your implementation of the missing_letters function. A loop that outputs missing letters for each string in test_miss. Write a function called missing_letters that takes a string parameter and returns a new string with all the letters of the alphabet that are not in the argument string. The letters in the returned string should be in alphabetical order. Your implementation should use a histogram from the histogram function. It should also use the global variable alphabet. It should use this global variable directly, not through an argument or a local copy. It should loop over the letters in alphabet to determine which are missing from the input parameter. The function missing_letters should…arrow_forward
- Implement the following function: Code should be written in python.arrow_forward-Python- Write a function get_letter_grade, such that when given * a lab grade score and * a list of the grade cutoffsreturns the letter grade of that score.Note: Your function automatically returns A for the values that are >= to the first cutoff-value in the list, then A- for the second cutoff-value, B+ for the third and so on. The function returns None for anything that's below the score for B-. You test that get_letter_grade(97, [93, 90, 87, 83, 80]) correctly returns an A, and get_letter_grade(93, [97, 90, 87, 83, 80]) returns A-. DO NOT hard-code the cutoffs, since they can change! You can copy/paste the following template: def get_letter_grade(score, cutoffs): if score ... : return 'A' ...: return 'A-' ...: return 'B+' ...: return 'B' ...: return 'B-'arrow_forwardPHP Write a wordFilter function Write a function wordFilter($str) that takes a string representing a sentence as a parameter. It should replace all occurrences of certain blacklisted words with asterisks of the same length and return the substituted sentence. The words “shoot” “darn” and “fudge” (case insensitive) are considered blacklisted. However, these words as part of a larger word should be left alone (e.g. overshoot is fine as it is). Use one or more regular expressions with replacements in your solutions (e.g. preg_replace).arrow_forward
