Python Functions for Common Tasks

The document contains a series of Python programming tasks and their solutions, including functions to check if a number is in a range, sort hyphen-separated words, find the highest of two numbers, count upper and lower case letters, check for perfect numbers, find Pythagorean triplets, count substring occurrences, calculate the sum of squares, find the digital root, and determine the nth term of an arithmetic progression. Each task is accompanied by a code snippet that demonstrates the solution. The document serves as a practical guide for implementing various programming concepts in Python.

Q1.

Write a Python function to check whether a number falls within a given


range
ANS.

def is_in_range(num, lower, upper):


if lower <= num <= upper:
return True
else:
return False

num = int(input("Enter the number to check: "))


lower = int(input("Enter the lower limit: "))
upper = int(input("Enter the upper limit: "))

if is_in_range(num, lower, upper):


print("The number lies within the given range.")
else:
print("The number does not lie within the given range.")
Q2. Write a Python program that accepts a hyphen-separated sequence of words
as input and prints the words in a hyphen-separated sequence after sorting them
alphabetically

ANS.
words = input("Enter a hyphen-separated sequence of words: ")

word_list = [Link]("-")
word_list.sort()

result = "-".join(word_list)

print(result)
Q3. Write a function called get_highest that takes 2 numbers as parameters and
returns the highest of the 2 numbers.

ANS.
def get_highest(a, b):
if a > b:
return a
else:
return b

num1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))


num2 = int(input("Enter second number: "))

highest = get_highest(num1, num2)


print(highest)
Q4. Write a Python function that accepts a string and counts the number of
upper and lower case letters.

ANS.
def count_case_letters(s):
upper = 0
lower = 0

for i in s:
if [Link]():
upper += 1
elif [Link]():
lower += 1

print("No. of Upper case characters :", upper)


print("No. of Lower case Characters :", lower)

text = input("Enter a string: ")


count_case_letters(text)
5. Write a Python function to check whether a number is "Perfect" or not.

ANS.
def is_perfect(n):
s=0
for i in range(1, n):
if n % i == 0:
s += i
if s == n:
print("Perfect Number")
else:
print("Not a Perfect Number")

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))


is_perfect(num)
6. Write a function to find all pythogorean triplets within a given range

ANS.

def pythagorean_triplets(n):
for a in range(1, n + 1):
for b in range(a, n + 1):
for c in range(b, n + 1):
if a*a + b*b == c*c:
print(a, b, c)

limit = int(input("Enter the range: "))


pythagorean_triplets(limit)
7. Write a Python function to count the number of occurrences of a specific
substring in a string

ANS.
def count_substring(s, sub):
count = 0
for i in range(len(s) - len(sub) + 1):
if s[i:i+len(sub)] == sub:
count += 1
print(count)

string = input("Enter the string: ")


substring = input("Enter the substring: ")
count_substring(string, substring)
8. Write a recursive function to print sum of squares till n.

ANS.
def sum_of_squares(n):
if n == 0:
return 0
return n*n + sum_of_squares(n-1)

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))


print(sum_of_squares(num))
9. Write a recursive function to find digit root of a [Link] digital root is the
single digit number obtained by repeatedly adding the digits of a number until a
one-digit number is reached. For example, the digital root of 12,345 is 6,
because 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15, and then 1 + 5 = 6.

ANS.
def digital_root(n):
if n < 10:
return n
s=0
while n > 0:
s += n % 10
n //= 10
return digital_root(s)

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))


print(digital_root(num))
10. Write a recursive function to find the nth term of the AP

ANS.
def nth_ap(a, d, n):
if n == 1:
return a
return nth_ap(a, d, n-1) + d

a = int(input("Enter first term: "))


d = int(input("Enter common difference: "))
n = int(input("Enter term number: "))

print(nth_ap(a, d, n))
