 14. Write a program to find the sum of given numbers until the user enters 0.
15. Write a program to read a value n (n > 1) and print whether the number is a perfect
number, an abundant number, or a deficient number.
a. A perfect number is one where the sum of its proper divisors equals the number.
b. An abundant number is one where the sum of its proper divisors exceeds the
number.
c. A deficient number is one where the sum of its proper divisors is less than the
number.

Example:
Perfect Number: 28 (1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14)
Abundant Number: 12 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6)
Deficient Number: 16 (1 + 2 + 4 + 8)
16. Write a program to find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) and Least Common
Multiple (LCM) of two given numbers.
17. Write a program to read a string and 3 words from input and perform following

a. Check if all three words exist in the given string

b. If all are present and word1 precedes word2, replace all occurrences of word2
with word3.

c. If all are present and word2 precedes word1, replace all occurrences of word1
with word3.

d. If any one word is not available, replace all occurrences of word1 with word2 and
word2 with word1.
18. Write a program to count the number of vowels, consonants and special characters in a
given string.
19. Write a program to check whether a given string is a pangram or not.
Note: A string is a pangram if it contains all 26 English alphabets(case insensitive).
20. Write a program to swap consecutive elements in a list.
Ex: Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
Output: [2,1,4,3,6,5,8,7] Output: [2,1,4,3,6,5,7]
21. Write a program to search for an element(key) in the given list using a binary search
approach.

In binary search, first we match the middle element with the key and if it founds to be
less than the middle element, search continues in the left half of the list using same
approach, otherwise in the right half until the index of the element is found or there are
no more elements left to match, whichever is earlier. Assume the the values in the array
are in increasing order.

Ex: Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], key = 5

First match is with 4 (middle index 3), key > middle value
Second match is with right sub list [5,6,7], match 5 with 6[middle element], key < middle
value
 Third match is with the left sub list [5], match 5 with 5, match is found and index 4 is
printed.
22. Write a program to reverse a list.
23. Write a program to accept n integers from the user, store them in a tuple and find the
second maximum and second minimum element. Note: read values into a list and
convert it into a tuple.
24. Write a program using tuples to count the number of occurrences of days in a week from
a given string.
Note: Read the input as a single line(string) without any separators and parse it.

Ex: input = MonTueTueWedThuFriFriSatMonFriWed

Output:
Mon – 2
Tue – 2
Wed – 2
Thu – 1
Fri – 3
Sat – 1
Sun – 0

frequencies(value). Print the list of words that appeared more than 2 times.
26. With a given integral number n, write a program to generate a dictionary that contains (i, i*i)
such that is an integral number between 1 and n (both included). and then the program should
print the dictionary.
Suppose the following input is supplied to the program:
8
Then, the output should be:
{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25, 6: 36, 7: 49, 8: 64}
27. Write a program to Concatenate two lists into a new list such that alternate elements
from two lists are placed in the new list.
