- Write a program that converts distances measured in kilometers to miles.One kilometer is approximately 0.62 miles.arrow_forwardAn instructor gives a series of exams during the semester in her math class. At the end of the semester she drops each student's lowest test score before averaging the scores. She has asked you to design a program that will read a student's test scores as input and calculate the average with the lowest score dropped. Here is the algorithm that you developed: Get the student's test scores. Calculate the total of the scores. Find the lowest score. Subtract the lowest score from the total. This gives the adjusted total. Divide the adjusted total by 1 less than the number of test scores. This is the adjusted average. Display the average. The test scores are in a text file named scores.txt and contains the following: Mickey, 71.0, 42.0, 83.0 Donald, 94.0, 73.0, 72.0, 81.0 Minnie, 95.0, 85.0, 45.0, 55.0, 65.0 A sample run is as follows: Enter a file containing floating point numbers: scores.txt Test scores for Mickey: ['71.0', '42.0', '83.0'] Removed the lowest score of 42.0 for Mickey The…arrow_forwardPython Write a program that receives a number from a user and checks if it's float or integer.In case of being float, print for the user that his/her number is float with integer part andfractional part.

- You have been asked to write a program to play rock-paper-scissors. Your program will ask the user to input a number 0, 1, or 2 to denote rock, paper, and scissors respectively. Your program will then randomly generate a number 0, 1, or 2 to denote the computer’s hand. The rules for the game are: •A scissor can cut paper. •A rock can knock a scissor. •A piece of paper can wrap a rock. Let the game run continuously until either the user or the computer wins 3 times, displaying the outcome of each hand. At the end of the game, display a message indicating whether the user or the computer wins  Helpful Hint:   import random player2= random.randint(0, 2)arrow_forwardWrite a program that reads from the user a character ('q' or 'c'). If the character is 'c', the program reads from the user the radius rof a circle and prints its area. • If the user enters 'q', the program asks the user to enter the length and width of a quadrilateral. We assume the quadrilateral is either a square or rectangle. You should print if the quadrilateral is square or rectangle. • Otherwise, it prints "Wrong character" PS: Use the following formulas: area of circle=3.14*r Sample Run1: Enter a character (q or c): q Enter the Length and Width: 80 150 |It is a rectangle Sample Run2: Enter a character (q or c): q Enter the Length and Width: 80 80 It is a square Sample Run3: Enter a character (q or c): c Enter the radius: 2 The area of the circle is 12.56 Sample Run4: Enter a character (q or c): d Wrong characterarrow_forwardWrite a program that determines the number of digits in an integer: Enter an integer: 374 The number 374 has 3 digits Hint: Divide the integer by 10 repeatedly until it becomes 0. The number of divisions performed will be the integer of digits in the integer.arrow_forward

- f. A laborant in a laboratory does a number of antigen tests in one day. Write a program that simulates the number of antigen tests done in a day in a laboratory, displays the number of positives and negatives, and calculates the % of positives in one day. Your program needs to first generate a random number that will show the number of tests done in a day. One laboratory in a day cannot do more than 100 tests and less than 1 (they do at least one). Then for each of the tests, your program needs to generate a random number to show whether they are positive or negative. In order to write this program, you need to have the following three functions used by the main function: test result (void): This function generates a test result. It should randomly return either one or zero. 1 means positive test result and 0 means negative test result. float positive percentage (int,int) : This function takes the total number of positives and the total number of tests and returns the % of positives.…arrow_forwardWrite a program that will read value of the radius to compute the Area and Perimeter of a Circle. Use the formulas below: area = Pi * radius * radius perimeter = 2 *Pi * radius Where value of Pi is 22/7 = 3.14 Display the computed area and perimeter.arrow_forwardA county collects property takes on the assessment value of property, which is 60 percent of the property's actual value. For example, if an acre of land is valued at #10,000, it assessment value is $6,000. The property tax is then 72 cents for each $100 of the assessment value. The tax for the acre assessed at $6,000 will be $43.20. Write a program using python that asks for the actual value of a piece of property and displays the assessment value and property tax. check_circlearrow_forward
