Return Growing NumList
This function will be given a single number, it should return a list of strings of numbers. Each string in the list will only contain a single number repeated an arbitrary amount of times. The number each string will contain will be equal to the current string's index+1. The number in the string should be repeated the same number of times as the string's index+1. Each number in the string should be separated by a space. This list should stop when its size equals the max number specified.
Signature:
public static ArrayList<String> returnGrowingNumList(int max)
Example:
INPUT: 3OUTPUT: [1, 2 2, 3 3 3]
INPUT: 6OUTPUT: [1, 2 2, 3 3 3, 4 4 4 4, 5 5 5 5 5, 6 6 6 6 6 6]
6. sum_highest_five
This function takes a list of numbers, finds the five largest numbers in the list, and returns their sum. If the list of numbers contains fewer than five elements, raise a ValueError with whatever error message you like.
Sample calls should look like:
>>> sum_highest_five([10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 5, -17, 2, 3.1])50>>> sum_highest_five([5])Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/idlelib/run.py", line 559, in runcode exec(code, self.locals) File "<pyshell#44>", line 1, in <module> File "/homework/final.py", line 102, in sum_highest_five raise ValueError("need at least 5 numbers")ValueError: need at least 5 numbers

Write a game of rock paper scissors, one of the choices will be from the user and the other from the computer (use random) Print results for each game.Play the games in a row until you exit the game. Explain each step as comment.Game rules:Rock crushes scissors, you win.Paper covers rock, you win.Scissors cut paper, you win.
2. Write a program that sorts a list in ascending order. Don’t use sort method.Ask user number of list elements (at least 10 elements)Enter all elements from keyboard and printed.Sort your list.
3. Write a code for craps game. Craps is a dice game in which the players make wagers on the outcome of the roll, or a series of rolls, of a pair of dice.The rules of the dice game craps are as follows:You roll two dice. Each die has six faces, which contain one, two, three, four, five and six spots, respectively. After the dice have come to rest, the sum of the spots on the two upward faces is calculated. If the sum is 7 or 11 on the first throw, you win and play is…

- Topics: User-defined functions, list, string, docstringProblem Statement: This program finds the unique letters from a given string and printsthe unique letters and their count. For example: word ‘LITTLE’ has ‘L’, ‘I’, ‘T’, ‘E’ are theunique letters.Lab Scenario:The program repeats until hits ‘n’. The program takes a user input of a string. The programfinds the unique letters in the string, add them in a list and displays the list and their count.Consider the following important points:1) You need to design a user-defined function named count_unique_letters whichtakes user word as parameter and returns the list of unique letters calledunique_letters in the given word.a. Hint: Iterate over each letter in user word, check if the letter is in the list, if notadd it to the list, otherwise continue to the next letter. A ‘in’ keyword can helpto determine if a character in the unique_letters list.b. You need to write a simple docstring for this function.2) Your program must have a main()…arrow_forwardThe code below prompts the user to enter their full name, and then converts the name to a list.
