Chapter 6, Problem 5D
Program Plan Intro

Function:

  • Function is a part or block of code.
  • These become the important tools to build a complicated program.
  • Functions are mostly used to decrease the code duplication.
  • These also make the programs easier to maintain and easily understandable.
  • Functions are available both in-built and are also defined by programmers.

Given program:

#define a function named cube()

def cube(x):

    #calculate and store the value

    answer= x*x*x

    #return statement

    return answer

b)

Explanation of Solution

Program:

#define a function named cube()

def cube(y):

    #calculate and store the value

    answer= y*y*y

    #return statement

    return answer

Explanati...

c)

Explanation of Solution

Program:

#declare the variable

    answer= 4

    #calculate the cube

    result=cube(3)

    #print the output

    print(answer, result)

Explanation of the above function:

  • In the above case, declare and initialize a variable named “answer” that stores value “4”...

Complete the code that returns the value of f(x), which has the value 1 inside the range -1 < x < 1 otherwise it is the value 0. хе[-1,1] 1, S(x) = { 0, otherwise 277]: # complete the function to return the value of f(x) given x. # return as the value called variable "fval" def function_f(x): # your code here return fval
Write and test the “digit” function: Function Prototype: int digit(int n,int k)This function returns the kth digit of the positive integer n. For example, if n is the integer 29,415 that is entered by user , then the call digit(n,0) would return the digit 2, and the call digit(n,2) would returnthe digit 4. do this only by using functions and loops. arrays are not allowed. example :Input: n = 29415 , k = 1 output: 9 Input: n = 2 , k = 1 output: index out of bound (return -1)
Consider this very simple function: def cube(x):answer = x * x * xreturn answer a) What does this function do?b) Show how a program could use this function to print the value of y3, assuming y is a variable.c) Here is a fragment of a program that uses this function:answer = 4result = cube(3)print(answer, result)The output from this fragment is 4 27. Explain why the output is not27 27, even though cube seems to change the value of answer to 27.
