Before you submit this homework, make sure everything runs as expected. First, restart the kernel (in the menu, select Kernel → Restart) and then run all cells (in the menubar, select Cell → Run All). You can discuss with others regarding the homework but all work must be your own.

Steps to evaluate your solutions:

Step-1: Try on Colab or Anaconda (Windows: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/windows/ ; Mac:https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/mac-os/ ; Linux: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/linux/)

Step-2: Open the Jupyter Notebook by first launching the anaconda software console

Step-3: Open the homework’s .ipynb file and write your solutions at the appropriate location “# YOUR CODE HERE”

Step-4: You can restart the kernel and click run all (in the menubar, select Cell → Run All) on the center-right on the top of this window.

Step-5: Now go to “File” then click on “Download as” then click on “Notebook (.ipynb)” Please DO NOT change the file name and just keep it as “.ipynb”

Step-6: Go to lms.rpi.edu and upload your homework at the appropriate link to submit this homework.

1.3. Please note that for any question in this assignment you will receive points ONLY if your solution passes all the test cases including hidden testcases as well. So please make sure you try to think all possible scenarios before submitting your answers.#

  • Note that hidden tests are present to ensure you are not hardcoding.

  • If caught cheating:

    • you will receive a score of 0 for the 1st violation.

    • for repeated incidents, you will receive an automatic ‘F’ grade and will be reported to the dean of Lally School of Management.

1.4. Q1[5 points]. Assign the value for m to 120. Set the value for n to 100 times m , and set the value for p to m times by n^2 (square of n).#

#Assign m ; n; p

raise NotImplementedError()

#Don't change this cell.
assert m==120

assert p==120*(12000**2)

1.5. Q2-1 [5 points]:#

  • Create an empty list g1

  • Create a list g2 with integers 1, 2, 3

  • Create a nested list g3 with g1 and g2

  • Create a list g4 with only 4 repeated 3 times.

  • Create a list g5 with your firstName and lastName as two separate strings – for example, g5 that the President would build would be [‘joe’, ‘biden’]

  • Create a list s1 with values in an order – 10, -10, 20, -20

  • Append a new element 30 to list s1

  • Insert a new element -30 at position 2

  • Insert a new element 15 at position 20 (Yes it is 20 – check what happens)

  • Create a list p33 that contains keys of dictionary d3

#Creating l31 and l32 and follow the instructions to create dictionary d3 

# YOUR CODE HERE
raise NotImplementedError()

assert set(p32)=={'a', 'b','c'}
assert len(d3)==1
assert len(p33)==1

#Don't change this cell.

1.10. Q4-1 [5 points].#

  • Create a set S1 with values 1, 2, 3 in the same order as stated.

  • Assign the variable Slen as the length of this set S1

  • Create another set S2 with values 4, 5, 6 in the same order as stated.

  • Create a new set S3 by merging sets S1 and S2

#Please follow the above instructions to create S1, S2, S3


# YOUR CODE HERE
raise NotImplementedError()

assert Slen==3
assert 1 in S1
assert S3=={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

#Don't change this cell.

1.11. Q4-2 [5 points]#

  • Create a set S4 with values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 passed as strings

  • Add another string '6' to S4

  • Convert each element in S4 which is a string to integer and save this new set as S5

# YOUR CODE HERE
raise NotImplementedError()

#Don't change this cell.
assert set(S4)=={'1', '2', '3', '4', '5','6'}
assert S5=={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

1.12. Q5 [5 points]. Write a function ReturnList that takes a number num (where num is >0) and returns a list of numbers from 0 to num (inclusive). If number num<=0 return [-1].#

def ReturnList(num):

    # YOUR CODE HERE
    raise NotImplementedError()

#Don't change this cell.
assert ReturnList(3)==[0, 1, 2, 3]
assert ReturnList(4)==[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

#Don't change this cell.

1.13. Q6 [5 points]. Write a function RepeatNums that takes two numbers num1 and num2. This function should return a list of numbers, where the length of the list is num2.#

1.13.1. All the numbers in this list should be equal to num1. In other words, create a list that contains num1 that is repeated num2 number of times.#

1.13.2. If num1 <= 0 or num2 <= 0 return [-1]#

def RepeatNums(num1, num2):
    # YOUR CODE HERE
    raise NotImplementedError()

#Don't change this cell.
assert RepeatNums(3,2)==[3, 3]
assert RepeatNums(2,4)==[2, 2, 2, 2]
assert RepeatNums(6,1)==[6]

#Don't change this cell.
