Question 1: Menu-Driven Character Analysis of String

Write a program to take a string from the user and print the following using independent functions and
string as the parameter (Menu Driven): (a) Number of capital letters, (b) Number of small letters, (c) Number
of spaces, (d) Number of vowels, (e) Number of digits.

Source Code:

def count_capitals(s):
count = sum(1 for ch in s if [Link]())
print(f"Number of capital letters: {count}")

def count_smalls(s):
count = sum(1 for ch in s if [Link]())
print(f"Number of small letters: {count}")

def count_spaces(s):
count = sum(1 for ch in s if [Link]())
print(f"Number of spaces: {count}")

def count_vowels(s):
vowels = "aeiouAEIOU"
count = sum(1 for ch in s if ch in vowels)
print(f"Number of vowels: {count}")

def count_digits(s):
count = sum(1 for ch in s if [Link]())
print(f"Number of digits: {count}")

def main():
user_string = input("Enter a string: ")
while True:
print("
--- STRING MENU ---")
print("1. Count Capital Letters")
print("2. Count Small Letters")
print("3. Count Spaces")
print("4. Count Vowels")
print("5. Count Digits")
print("6. Exit")
choice = input("Enter your choice (1-6): ")

if choice == '1': count_capitals(user_string)

elif choice == '2': count_smalls(user_string)
elif choice == '3': count_spaces(user_string)
elif choice == '4': count_vowels(user_string)
elif choice == '5': count_digits(user_string)

Question 2: Menu-Driven List & Tuple Processing

Take a list of 10 numbers from the user and perform operations using independent functions for each: (a)
Sum of odd elements, (b) Square of smallest element, (c) Reverse order of input, (d) Generate a sorted Tuple
in descending order without altering the original list.

Source Code:

def sum_odd_elements(lst):
odd_sum = sum(x for x in lst if x % 2 != 0)
print(f"Sum of odd elements: {odd_sum}")

def square_of_smallest(lst):
smallest = min(lst)
print(f"Smallest element: {smallest}, Its square: {smallest ** 2}")

def print_reverse(lst):
print("Elements in reverse order:", lst[::-1])

def display_descending_tuple(lst):
sorted_lst = sorted(lst, reverse=True)
desc_tuple = tuple(sorted_lst)
print(f"Generated descending Tuple: {desc_tuple}")
print(f"Original list remains unaltered: {lst}")

def main():
print("Enter 10 numbers:")
numbers = []
for i in range(10):
num = int(input(f"Enter number {i+1}: "))
[Link](num)

while True:
print("
--- LIST MENU ---")
print("1. Sum of odd elements")
print("2. Square of the smallest element")
print("3. Print elements in reverse order")
print("4. Generate and display Tuple in descending order")
print("5. Exit")
choice = input("Enter your choice (1-5): ")

if choice == '1': sum_odd_elements(numbers)

elif choice == '2': square_of_smallest(numbers)
elif choice == '3': print_reverse(numbers)

Question 4: Mathematical Operations & Number Analysis

Implement the following functions within a menu: (a) Show() to print the first 10 natural numbers, (b)
Prime() to generate and print a list of the first 10 prime numbers, (c) Check() which evaluates if a parameter
is an Armstrong number (returns 1 or 0).

Source Code:

num += 1
print("First 10 prime numbers:", primes)

def Check(n):
temp = n
digits = [int(d) for d in str(n)]
num_digits = len(digits)
# Armstrong formula implementation
