Question
CHALLENGE ACTIVITY
6.1.3: Function call with parameters: Converting measurements.
Define a function calc_total_inches, with parameters num_feet and num_inches, that returns the total number of inches. Note: There are 12 inches in a foot.
Sample output with inputs: 5 8
Sample output with inputs: 5 8
Total inches: 68
Use Python, please.

Transcribed Image Text:The image displays a code editor with a Python script. The goal of the script is to calculate the total number of inches from input values in feet and inches. The script uses a function `calc_total_inches(feet, inches)` to perform the calculation, although the implementation of this function is not shown in the image. Here's a breakdown of the code:
1. **Lines 1-2:** Placeholder comment indicating where the solution or the function implementation should go:
```python
''' Your solution goes here '''
```
2. **Lines 4-5:** The script prompts the user to input two integer values, `feet` and `inches`:
```python
feet = int(input())
inches = int(input())
```
3. **Line 6:** The script prints the total inches by calling the `calc_total_inches` function with `feet` and `inches` as arguments:
```python
print('Total inches:', calc_total_inches(feet, inches))
```
- **Execution Button:** At the bottom, there's a "Run" button for executing the script.
- **Test Status Panel:** On the right, there are indicators showing "1 test passed" and "All tests passed," suggesting automated tests have successfully validated the solution.
Note: The `calc_total_inches(feet, inches)` function's purpose would likely be to convert feet to inches and add any remaining inches to find the total, although this calculation logic is not explicitly shown in the image.

The game of Pig The game of Pig is a dice game with simple rules: Two players race to reach 100 points. Each turn, a player repeatedly rolls a die until either a 1 ("pig") is rolled or the player holds and scores the sum of the rolls (i.e. the turn total). At any time during a player's turn, the player is faced with two decisions: roll - if the player rolls 1: the player scores nothing and it becomes the opponents turn. 2 - 6: the number is added to the player's turn total and the player's turn continues. hold - The turn total is added to the player's score and it becomes the opponent's turn. This game is a game of probability. Players can use their knowledge of probabilities to make an educated game decision.
