- Chrome Capture 767x397 Create a python program called code.py. Write a function named pi_multiples() that takes an integer parameter num. This function repeatedly asks the user to enter an integer between 2 and 50. Assume the user will always enter an integer, but if the number is outside this range, the loop must end. So, for any integer x entered within the range, your function must do the following; if x is divisible by num (the parameter), it must multiply x by the value of pi (call it result) and maintain a sum of these results. In every iteration of the loop your function must print x and the result. And when the loop terminates your function should return the sum. To test your function, call pi_multiples() function using any integer number of your choice (for num) and print the returned value. Hint: to use the pi value do the following import math and use math.pi for the value of pi. frames: 0 0/ 10 secs Zip your file, name it code.zip, and submit it using the link available in…arrow_forwardFill-in-the-Blank A loop that does not have a way of stopping is a(n) __________ loop.arrow_forwarddef display_welcome(): print("This program will create a wish list for the user.") print("Enter as many items as you like, with their costs") print("and the program will calculate your total, before and") print("after 6% tax.") def get_item(sub=0): repeat = "y" while repeat.lower() == "y" or repeat.lower() == "n": print("Enter an item? y/n ") repeat = input() if repeat.lower() == "y": print("Enter the name of your item: ") item_name = input() print("Enter the cost of this item: ") item_cost = float(input()) item_cost = validate(item_cost) print("Item: ", item_name, " for $ ", round(item_cost, 2)) sub = 0 sub = sub + item_cost else: print("Your subtotal is $", round(sub, 2)) get_tax() break def validate(item_cost): while item_cost <= 0: print("Enter a valid cost for this item:…arrow_forward
