Assignment
Write a program that tracks how much steps the user walks in total in a day and reports if the daily
target is reached or not. The program will keep reading double values, each representing steps
walked during an individual activity within a day (stepsWalked) until either the user enters a negative
value or the daily target of 5000 steps is met. If the user enters a negative number, the program
should print total steps walked as a double. Otherwise, if the target is exactly reached, the program
should simply print "Target is reached", finally if the target is surpassed the program should print the
text "Target is surpassed by", followed by the excess amount above the target as a double, and finally
printing the text "steps".
NOTE: You MUST use a repetitive statement in this question.
NOTE: Each stepsWalked value will be given as a non-negative value. You do NOT need to check this.

Broken Cabins
Problem Statement:
There is an Office consisting of m cabins enumerated from 1 to m. Each cabin is 1 meter long. Sadly, some cabins are broken and need to be repaired.
You have an infinitely long repair tape. You want to cut some pieces from the tape and use them to cover all of the broken cabins. To be precise, a piece of tape of integer length t placed at some positions will cover segments 5,5+1-sit-1.
You are allowed to cover non-broken cabins, it is also possible that some pieces of tape will overlap.
Time is money, so you want to cut at most k continuous
pieces of tape to cover all the broken cabins. What is the
minimum total length of these pieces?
Input Format
The first line contains three integers n,m and k(1sns10°, namsloº, Isksn) - the number of broken cabins, the length of the stick and the maximum number of pieces you can use
The second line contains n integers bl,b2,bn (Isbism) - the positions of the broken cabins. These integers are given in increasing…
Challenge Problem (pyhton)
T E S T S C O R E S
Write a program that implements a test scores program. Valid test score entries are between 0 and 100 inclusive.
The program should
display a welcome message and run everything through the "main" function.
have the ability to enter several test scores (try a loop) and print out the total score, as well as, the average score.
continuously ask for test scores until the number 99.9 has been entered.
test for valid entries and the value 99.9. If a test score is valid, the program should add the current score to the total score and update the number of test scores by one (+1), otherwise it displays an error message.
Note :
This assignment involves the use of a while loop and if-else decision making controls.
You CANNOT use the reserved keywords break and continue for any portion of this program or any program for that matter throughout this course.

- Problem Description: In the Whimsical Library, each book is enchanted with a magical code to ensure the protection of knowledge. The validation process for these magical codes involves a combination of mathematical spells. The validation process is described as follows: Take the sum of the digits at odd positions from left to right. Take the sum of the squared digits at even positions from left to right. If the absolute difference between the results from step 1 and step 2 is a prime number, the book code is considered valid; otherwise, it is invalid. Example 1: Consider the magical book code 86420137. Step 1. Take the sum of the digits at odd positions from left to right. 8+4+0+3=15 Step 2. Take the sum of the squared digits at even positions from left to right. 6^2+2^2+1^2+7^2=36+4+1+49 = 90 Step 3. If the absolute difference between the results from step 1 and step 2 is a prime number. 115-901 = 75 (not a prime number) Book code 86420137 is invalid. Example 2: Now, let's examine the…arrow_forwardPlease fix the code see picture for error.

If the two dice show different numbers, the player's score is the larger of the two numbers. Otherwise, the player's score is the sum of the two numbers. At this point, the player is asked if they want to remove their lower die and re-roll one die. If they say no, the player keeps her score and their turn is over. If they say yes, then they roll one more die and the number showing on this die replaces the lower of the original two rolls. Then these two dice rolls are scored accordingly. (For example, if the initial roll was a 2 and 5, if the player doesn't roll again, she gets 5 points. If she does roll again and obtains a 4, her score is still 5. If she rolled again and obtained a 6, her score would be a 6. If she rollwed again and obtained a 5, her score would be a 10.) The second player goes after the first, doing the exact same steps as the first…arrow_forward
- Background: Game Rules The rules to the (dice) game of Pig: You will need 2 dice. To Play: a. The players each take turns rolling two die. b. A player scores the sum of the two dice thrown (unless the roll contains a 1): If a single number 1 is thrown on either die, the score for that whole turn is lost (referred to as “Pigged Out”). A 1 on both dice is scored as 25. c. During a single turn, a player may roll the dice as many times as they desire. The score for a single turn is the sum of the individual scores for each dice roll. d. The first player to reach the goal score wins unless a player scores higher subsequently in the same round. Therefore, everyone in the game must have the same number of turns.
