Program Plan Intro
Integer division:
In Python, “//” operator performs the integer division.
- • This operator is used to divide one number by another number. The result of this integer division is given as a whole number.
- • If the result is a positive value, then the decimal part is truncated.
- • If the result is a negative value, then the decimal part is rounded away from “0” to the nearest integer value.
Example:
Consider the example of integer division as follows:
value = 7 // 2
Explanation:
Here, the value “7” is divided by “2” and the output “3” is stored into variable “value”.

- The textbook says that when you enter the expression ._doc_ It retrieve the docstring for the function. I tried it and it doesn’t work.arrow_forwardAssume that grade is a variable whose value is a letter student_grade-- any one of the following letters: 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'F". Assume further that there are the following int variables, declared and already initialized: acount, bcount, ccount, dcount, fcount. Write a switch statement that increments the appropriate variable (acount, bcount, ccount, etc.) depending on the value of grade. So if grade is 'A' then acount is incremented; if grade is'B' then bcount is incremented, and so on.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is false? a. When you pass a variable by reference, the receiving procedure can change its contents. b. To pass a variable by reference, you include the ByRef keyword before the variable’s name in the calling statement. c. When you pass a variable by value, the receiving procedure creates a procedure-level variable to store the value passed to it. d. When you pass a variable by value, the receiving procedure cannot change its contents.arrow_forward
- In Python Text-based adventure game: Pretend you are creating a text-based adventure game. At different points in the game, you want the user to select to fight, run, or hide from certain enemies. The selection variable must be sent as an argument into the choice() function. The user should enter 1 to fight, 2 to run, or 3 to hide in the main(). The choice() function should print one of the three options. Add an if statement in the choice() function to make the correct selection.arrow_forwardThe following function has errors. Locate as many errors as you can. void total(int value1, value2, value3) { return value1 + value2 + value3; }arrow_forwardProgram Purpose - Professional Athletes often hire other professionals to help take care of matters for them. We will group them in four categories: Lawyers, Personal Assistants, Agents, and Trainers. They all get paid a percentage of the athlete's total yearly salary. Lawyers - 10%, Personal Assistants - 3%, Agents - 7%, and Trainers - 5% . Prompt the user to enter the athlete's salary for the year (ensure that the entered value is positive). The user should then enter the name and category of each of the hired professionals. The athlete should be able to hire as many professionals in each category as he/she wants, even if it is more than he/she can afford. Based on the category, calculate the amount that each professional should be paid. After all data has been entered, print the names of each professional hired, how much each is being paid, the total amount the athlete paid, and how much the athlete has left.arrow_forward
- Complete the get_sum_of_evens (lower_bound, upper_bound) function that takes two integer parameters, lower bound and upper bound. The function returns the sum of all the even numbers between the two bounds, both included, passed to the function. You can assume that lower bound will always be smaller than or equal to upper_bound. For example: Test result get sum_of_evens (2, 4) print("The sum of all even numbers are:", result) print (get_sum_of_evens (9, 17)) Result The sum of all even numbers are: 6 52arrow_forwardTrue or False?

Description of the function: The DataRequest function asks the user for the radius of a cylinder base (r) and the height of the cylinder (h). The function only fills in the 2 data. Another function will use these 2 data later. Important Instructions: If any of the spaces to be filled in should remain empty, place an X as an answer. -When you need to define the variables, use the variable name as it is used in the code of the function provided. -For reference, remember that the data types are int, double, char, bool. ********PideDatos = askfor data Entre el radio de la base del cilindro = enter the cylinder's base radius.
