The program should generate a triangle that should move in response to the left mouse button being held down and the mouse moved. The figure should stop at the defined window boundaries making sure that the entire figure is always present in your window.
Part 6: Boolean Logic Expressions
Boolean expressions are types of logical operations that we can perform on true and false values. Note that the word Boolean is always capitalized because it was named after its inventor, George Boole. Boolean algebra is a very important topic in computer science, and if you haven't learned it before you definitely will in the future. However, for our purposes we are only interested in how we can use them to manipulate binary numbers. The way we use them on binary numbers is by treating 1 as true and 0 as false. From this point on I will be using 0 and 1 instead of false and true.
There are many types of Boolean expressions, but the three most important ones are AND, OR, and NOT.
AND takes 2 operands and will output 1 if they are both 1, or 0 otherwise
OR takes 2 operands and will output 1 if either one is 1, or 0 if neither is 1
NOT takes 1 operand and reverses it: 1 becomes 0, and 0 becomes 1
We can represent this behavior using something called a…
pizza (python)Mario owns a pizzeria. Mario makes all of his pizzas from 10 different ingredients, using 3 ingredients on each pizza. Mario’s cousin Luigi owns a pizzeria as well. Luigi makes all his pizzas from 9 ingredients, using 4 ingredients on each pizza. Mario and Luigi have made a bet: Mario believes that customers can order a larger selection of pizzas in his pizzeria than they can order in Luigi’s pizzeria. Use functions for this assignment.
Implement a factorial() function yourself (do not use the one from the math module)
When choosing k items from n possible items, the number of possibilities can be obtained using the following formula:
(??)=?!?!(?−?)!(nk)=n!k!(n−k)!
Make a function called choose with two parameters n and k, that implements the above formula.
Write a program that calculates the number of pizzas Mario and Luigi can make. The outcome should look like this:
Mario can make 120 pizzas.Luigi can make 126 pizzas. Luigi has won the bet.
