Write a function multiply_ends(nums) that takes a non-empty list of integers and returns the first integer multiplied by the last integer. For example, if nums is the list [5, 4, 6, 2], the function would return 5 2 = 10. If the list has only 1 element, the first and last elements are the same so the function should return the square of the element.

two_sum is a Python function that takes in a list of integers (elements) and an integer number (num) and returns True if there exist two values in elements that add up to num, otherwise, function returns False. def two_sum(elements: List[int], num: int): for i in range(len(elements)): for j in range(i + 1): if elements[i] + elements[j] == num: return True return False Study above function and answer below questions: A. What is time complexity of two_sum? B. Is it possible to improve on above algorithm performance (in terms of its asymptotic cost)? If yes, describe your algorithm, be detailed as much as possible.
Write a function list2DigitOdd() that creates and returns a list that contain all positive 2-digit odd numbers. The function call list2DigitOdd() will return a list containing 11, 13, 15, ..., 99.
The function interleave_lists in python takes two parameters, L1 and L2, both lists. Notice that the lists may have different lengths. The function accumulates a new list by appending alternating items from L1 and L2 until one list has been exhausted. The remaining items from the other list are then appended to the end of the new list, and the new list is returned. For example, if L1 = ["hop", "skip", "jump", "rest"] and L2 = ["up", "down"], then the function would return the list: ["hop", "up", "skip", "down", "jump", "rest"]. HINT: Python has a built-in function min() which is helpful here. Initialize accumulator variable newlist to be an empty list Set min_length = min(len(L1), len(L2)), the smaller of the two list lengths Use a for loop to iterate k over range(min_length) to do the first part of this function's work. On each iteration, append to newlist the item from index k in L1, and then append the item from index k in L2 (two appends on each iteration). AFTER the loop…
Write a function called find_duplicates which accepts one list as a parameter. This function needs to sort through the list passed to it and find values that are duplicated in the list. The duplicated values should be compiled into another list which the function will return. No matter how many times a word is duplicated, it should only be added once to the duplicates list. NB: Only write the function. Do not call it. For example: Test Result random_words = ("remember","snakes","nappy","rough","dusty","judicious","brainy","shop","light","straw","quickest", "adventurous","yielding","grandiose","replace","fat","wipe","happy","brainy","shop","light","straw", "quickest","adventurous","yielding","grandiose","motion","gaudy","precede","medical","park","flowers", "noiseless","blade","hanging","whistle","event","slip") print(find_duplicates(sorted(random_words))) ['adventurous', 'brainy', 'grandiose', 'light', 'quickest', 'shop', 'straw', 'yielding']…
Write a function that accepts two lists as it's only arguments. The function should return a new list containing all the elements of the two list arguments. For example, if the function was passed the lists [1, 2, 3] and [4, 5, 6], it would return a new list containing [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Code in python Given a list, L, the function front_two creates a new list of length 2 out of the first two items in L as follows: In the new list, the second item becomes the first item, and the first item becomes the second. If L contains only one item, the first item in the new list should be the value None. If L is empty, both items in the new list should be value None. The function returns the new list. For example: Test Result L = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] print(front_two(L)) ['b', 'a'] L = [] print(front_two(L)) [None, None] L = [5, 2] print(front_two(L)) [2, 5] L = [7] print(front_two(L)) [None, 7]
In Python: Write a recursive function named Multiply2 that multiples by 2 and prints each element in a given list. For example: mylist=[1,2,3,4] Multiply2(mylist) prints: 2 4 6 8 Note: the function takes only one parameter, which is the list on which the operation will be performed. It's ok if the list becomes empty after calling the function.
The function swap_list_ends in python takes one parameter, L, which is a list. The function then swaps the first and last items in L and returns the object None. Notice that since L is mutable, the changes the function makes to L are visible back in the calling program. SPECIAL CASE: If the list 'L' is empty, then the function does nothing to L and returns None. For example: Test Result L = [1, 3, 9, 2] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) [2, 3, 9, 1] L = ['super', 'awesome', 'excellent'] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) ['excellent', 'awesome', 'super'] L = [True, False] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) [False, True]
The function should be written in python language. Write a function called "zero_triples" to return all triples in a list of integers that sum to zero. You can assume the list won't contain any duplicates, and a triple should not use the same number more than once. [In]: zero_triples([1, 2, 4]) [Out]: [] [In]: zero_triples([-3, 1, 4, 2]) [Out]: [[1, 2, -3]] [In]: zero_triples([-9, 1, -3, 2, 4, 5, -4, -1]) [Out]: [[-9, 4, 5], [1, -3, 2], [-3, 4, -1], [5, -4, -1]]
Write a function void printSecond(ListNode *ptr) that prints the value stored in the second node of a list passed to it as parameter. The function should print an error message and terminate the program if the list passed to it has less than two nodes.

Write a function with below starting function: public static void printFirstAnd Last(ArrayList list) The approach should accomplish the following: Print "no elements" if the list is empty. Print the single element in the list if there is only one. Print the first entry in a list with more than one element, followed by a space, and then the last element.
