Question
You are given a list of integers. Write a function in Python to find the maximum sum that can be obtained by summing non-adjacent elements from the list. The function should return the maximum sum.
Example: Input: [2, 4, 6, 8, 5] Output: 13 Explanation: The maximum sum can be obtained by selecting elements 2, 6, and 5 (non-adjacent) and summing them: 2 + 6 + 5 = 13.
Input: [5, 1, 1, 5] Output: 10 Explanation: The maximum sum can be obtained by selecting elements 5 and 5 (non-adjacent) and summing them: 5 + 5 = 10.
Instructions:
- Implement a function called max_non_adjacent_sum that takes a list of integers as input.
- Write the necessary code to find the maximum sum of non-adjacent elements.
- Return the maximum sum.
- Test your function with different input cases to validate its correctness.

Word pairs consist of a name and a phone number (both strings). That list is followed by a name, and your program should output the phone number associated with that name. Define and call the following function. The return value of FindContact is the index of the contact with the provided contact name. If the name is not found, the function should return -1 This function should use binary search. Modify the algorithm to output the count of how many comparisons using == with the contactName were performed during the search, before it returns the index (or -1). int FindContact(ContactInfo contacts[], int size, string contactName) Ex: If the input is: 3 Frank 867-5309 Joe…arrow_forward
- 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]]arrow_forwardIn python We have a list (named data) of numbers sorted in ascending order, for example: data = [2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20] Write a function (named DataVar(data)), which take a list (data) as input parameter and performs the following steps on the list: 1) it finds the mean m of the data (for the given example, it is m = (2 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 17 + 18 + 20)/10 =110/10 = 11). 2) then, it finds the difference of data and m. Essentially, it finds for all data: Diff = data-m For the given example, Diff = [-9, -7, -6, -2, -1, 1, 2, 6, 7, 9]. 3) then, it finds the sum of Diff and 7. Essentially, it finds for all data: Sums = Diff+7 For the given example, Sums = [-2, 0, 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16]. 4) then, it finds the square of all the elements of Sums, such that Squares = square of the elements of Sums. For the given example, Squares = [4, 0, 1, 25, 36, 64, 81, 169, 196, 256]. 5) it finds the average of Squares and stores it in result, and returns it.

If it does, we keep the tweet. If it does not, we ignore the tweet. data = ['ZOOM earnings for Q1 are up 5%', 'Subscriptions at ZOOM have risen to all-time highs, boosting sales', "Got a new Mazda, ZOOM ZOOM Y'ALL!", 'I hate getting up at 8am FOR A STUPID ZOOM MEETING', 'ZOOM execs hint at a decline in earnings following a capital expansion program'] Hint: Consider the example_function below. It takes a list of numbers in numbers and keeps only those that appear in search_numbers. def example_function(numbers, search_numbers): keep = [] for number in numbers: if number in search_numbers(): keep.append(number) return keep def search_words(data, search_words):arrow_forward
- The programming language is - Python a. Write a function called daysOver that takes three arguments: a dictionary, a location (such as ‘Sydney’, ‘Adelaide’,etc) and a temperature and returns the number of days that were over the given temperature for the given location. For example, if we call the function using the line: total = daysOver(dictionaryData, ‘Adelaide’, 40) total will hold the number of days that Adelaide had a temperature greater than 40 celsius in the data. As a test, there were 54 days over 40 celsius in the data. Check that total is 54 for the example when you run your code. b. Use the daysOver function to print the number of days over 35 celsius for each of the following cities: 'Adelaide','Perth','Melbourne','Canberra','Sydney','Brisbane','Darwin' c. Which of the Australian cities has the most number of days over 35 celsius? My spreadsheet looks like this Since I cannot attach an excel file, my excel file name is "weatherAUS.csv"arrow_forwardthis code should be in python: write a function that receives a list as its only parameter. Inside the function remove all the duplicate items from the list and returns a new list. For Example: If we call the function with [“dad”, “aunt”, “mom”, “sister”, “mom”] as its input, the returned value should be [“dad”, “aunt”, “mom”, “sister”]. The order of the items inside the returned list does not matter.arrow_forwardshould be in python: write a function that receives a list as its only parameter. Inside the function remove all the duplicate items from the list and returns a new list and the input should be given by user. For Example: If we call the function with [“dad”, “aunt”, “mom”, “sister”, “mom”] as its user input, the returned value should be [“dad”, “aunt”, “mom”, “sister”]. The order of the items inside the returned list does not matter.arrow_forward
