Question
Create a Python function called triples that takes a string of characters and returns True if there is at least a sequence of 3 equal consecutive characters, and False otherwise. Make sure that the function is efficient: it must stop as soon as the result is known (as soon as 3 consecutive characters with the same value have been found). Do not forget to add in comments the type contract.

- The following requirments that weren't mentioned for solving the following Python Code below: The provided code for alphabet, test_dups, test_miss, and histogram. Your implementation of the has_duplicates function. A loop that outputs duplicate information for each string in test_dups. Your implementation of the missing_letters function. A loop that outputs missing letters for each string in test_miss. Write a function called missing_letters that takes a string parameter and returns a new string with all the letters of the alphabet that are not in the argument string. The letters in the returned string should be in alphabetical order. Your implementation should use a histogram from the histogram function. It should also use the global variable alphabet. It should use this global variable directly, not through an argument or a local copy. It should loop over the letters in alphabet to determine which are missing from the input parameter. The function missing_letters should…arrow_forwardComplete the rotate_text() function that takes 2 parameters, a string data and an integer n. If n is positive, then the function will shift all the characters in data forward by n positions, with characters at the end of the string being moved to the start of the string. If n is 0 then the text remains the same. For example: rotate_text('abcde', rotate_text('abcde', rotate_text('abcde', 1) would return the string 'eabcd' 3) would return the string 'cdeab' 5) would return the string 'abcde' rotate_text('abcde', 6) would return the string 'eabcd' ... and so on. If n is negative, then the function will shift the characters in data backward by n positions, with characters at the start of the string being moved to the end of the string. For example: rotate text('abcde', -1) would return the string 'bcdea'arrow_forwardPython Write a function called count_dashes that takes a line of text as inputand outputs the number of dashes in it, as shown below. In addition to printing the requested information, return the number of dashes. The function should output (print) its findings as follows:There are DDD dashes in 'XXX'.where XXX and DDD are replaced by the appropriate values that are based on the given argument.arrow_forward
- python help... Write a function justVowels() that takes a string as a parameter and returns a new string that contains all the vowels found in the parameter string. The vowels in the returned string should appear in the same order as they did in the parameter string. A vowel is one of a, e, i, o, or u. both the upper- and lower-case vowels should be included. The characters in the returned string should have the same capitalization as they did in the parameter string. If the function is given a string without any vowels or an empty string, it should return the empty string. Use the if-else condition with iterate loop pattern. Don’t forget to include the docstring and comments. How it should run... >>> justVowels('Did you include your collaboration statement') 'iouiueouoaoaioaee' >>> justVowels('If you did not include your collaboration statement no points') 'Iouioiueouoaoaioaeeooi' >>> justVowels('1,2,3,4,...') '' >>> justVowels('') ''arrow_forward-Python- Write a function get_letter_grade, such that when given * a lab grade score and * a list of the grade cutoffsreturns the letter grade of that score.Note: Your function automatically returns A for the values that are >= to the first cutoff-value in the list, then A- for the second cutoff-value, B+ for the third and so on. The function returns None for anything that's below the score for B-. You test that get_letter_grade(97, [93, 90, 87, 83, 80]) correctly returns an A, and get_letter_grade(93, [97, 90, 87, 83, 80]) returns A-. DO NOT hard-code the cutoffs, since they can change! You can copy/paste the following template: def get_letter_grade(score, cutoffs): if score ... : return 'A' ...: return 'A-' ...: return 'B+' ...: return 'B' ...: return 'B-'arrow_forward***python only *** Write a function that takes two parameters, a and b, both are strings taken from "SCISSORS", "PAPER", or "ROCK, and returns True if a wins over b according to the rules of theScissors-Paper-Rock game; False, otherwise. For example, when a is "SCISSORS" and b is "PAPER", the function should return True.arrow_forward
