- Python get_user_input(message, sentinel): The parameter message is the string message to request an integer from the user. The parameter sentinel is the unique character that signals the end of input. This function will return value: done, The parameter done is a Boolean flag that signals that the user entered a sentinel value and the value is invalid. main(): calling the get_user_input function until the sentinel value is detected capture the output from the get_user_input function into two variables use the Boolean flag return value to control the loop in main store the integer return value to a Python list The program will print the integers entered back to the user only after the sentinel value is detectedarrow_forwardChrome 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_forwardC++arrow_forward

All information needed for this will be passed to the program on the command line. There will be no user input during the execution of the program You will need a few pieces of information. The price of the home and the amount of the down payment. You will also need to know the interest rate and the term of the mortgage. To figure your mortgage payment, start by converting your annual interest rate to a monthly interest rate by dividing by 12. Next, add 1 to the monthly rate. Third, multiply the number of years in the term of the mortgage by 12 to calculate the number of monthly payments you'll make. Fourth, raise the result of 1 plus the monthly rate to the…arrow_forwardpythonarrow_forward

The user has to input his names and then, he will be asked to guess the word by accepting any alphabet. If the random word contains accepted character, it will be shown as the output (with correct placement) else the program will ask you to guess another alphabet. User will be 50% of the total number of characters to guess the complete word. Requirements 1. There must be 10 words of different length. 2. The words must be in random. 3.
