Document Summary

Authority: the right to command> the right to be obeyed. To obey a command: to do simply because of the authority of the commander, absent of an independent line of reasoning. Wolf believes that the state should be followed only when the action is also arrived at and justified by independent reasoning. Does not believe that doing something simply because of the authority of the commander is justified. Believes the autonomy of an individual is incompatible with command. One exception is unanimous direct democracy > impractical. Legitimacy is derived from the autonomy of individuals.

Given the following main program

#main
a = [5,2,9,6,3] doubleList(a) print a

Implement the function named doubleList that takes one list argument and modifies the list so that each element in the list is doubled. The statement print(a) in the main program will then have to print [10,4,18,12,6]
Given the following main program

#main
a = [5,2,9,6,3]
b = reversedList(a) print b
print a

Implement the function named reversedList that takes one list argument and returns a list that contains the elements in the list argument in reverse order. The statement print(b) in the main program will then have to print [3,6,9,2,5]. The statement print(a) must print the original list [5,2,9,6,3] unaffected. This means your function should not modify the list argument.
Given the following main program

#main
a = [5,2,9,6,3] reverseList(a) print a

Implement the function named reverseList that takes one list argument and reverses the list so that the modified list contains the same elements in reverse order. The statement print(a) in the main program will then have to print [3,6,9,2,5]
What is the return value of the functions doubleList, reversedList and reverseList in questions 1, 2, and 3 above?

Given the following main program

#main
a = [5,2,9,6,3]
b = evenElements(a) print b

Implement the function named evenElements that takes one list argument and returns a list that contains the elements in the list argument that are even integers. The statement print(b) in the main program will then have to print [2,6]. What is the return value of the function? Your function should not modify the list argument.
Given the following main program

#main
a = [5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 7, 19, 4, 8, 17, 21, 20, 15] removeOddElements(a)
print a

Implement the function named removeOddElements that takes one list argument and modifies the list so that all odd integers in the list are removed. The statement print(a) in the main program will then have to print [2,6,4,8,20]. What is the return value of the function?
Part A
#Main program A=[5,8,2,0,-5,3] n=-5
answer = isFound(A, n) if answer == True:

print "The integer is found in the list" else:

print "The integer is not found in the list."

Consider the main program shown above. Write a Python function named isFound that takes a list of integers and an integer as arguments and returns True if the integer is found in the list; otherwise it returns False.

Remark: You are NOT allowed to use the in operator or any other built in function when you write this function. Instead, you must write a loop to go through the elements of the list.

Part B

Give the following main program

#main
A = [5,2,9,6,3]
B = [2,4,3,9,7,1,6,5]
flag = isList1InList2(A, B) if flag:

print "The list", A, "is contained in the list", B else:

print "The list", A, "is not contained in the list", B

Implement the function named isList1InList2 that takes two list arguments and returns True if and only if each element of the first list argument are found in the second list argument; otherwise it returns False.

Remark: You are NOT allowed to use the in operator or any other built in function when you write this function. Instead, if you wish, you can use the function you wrote in Part A.

For the lists shown in the main program, your function must return True because each element of list A is found in list B.

A given List is known as Palindrome List if the reverse of the List contains the same elements in the same order of the original List. For example the List of integers [2, 5, 0, 3, 3, 0, 5, 2] is a Palindrome because the reverse of the List which is [2, 5, 0, 3, 3, 0, 5, 2] contains the same elements in the same order as the given List. However the List [1, 2, '2', 1] is not Palindrome because its reverse which is [1, '2', 2, 1] does not contain the same elements in the same order as the given List.

Write a Python function named isPalindrome that takes a List as argument and returns True if the argument is a Palindrome List; otherwise it returns False. You don't need to write the main program; just write the function. If you would like to test your function, then it is ok to write the main program too but you will not get any mark for the main program.
Given your function in question #7 above, what is the output of the following code: a=[]

b = [5,2,9,6,3]

print isList1InList2(a,b)
Given your function in question #7 above, what is the output of the following code:

a=[]
b=[]
print isList1InList2(a,b)
Given your function in question #7 above, what is the output of the following code: a = [5,2,9,6,3]

b=[]

print isList1InList2(a,b)

Given the following main program

#main
a=[]
n = readListElements(a)
print "The user entered", n, "elements to the list" print a

Implement the function named readListElements that takes one list argument and modifies the list by repeatedly asking the user to enter integer values and then appending them to the list. The process stops when the user enters -1000. The stopping value -1000 should not be appended to the list. Moreover your function must count the appended elements and return it. Example if the user enters the integers 31, -4, 9, 1,-1000 then your function must modify the list a to a = [31, -4, 9, 1] and return the number elements added which is 4.
Write a function named createRandomList that takes an integer argument n and returns a list with n elements. The elements must be random numbers in the range [0,100]

Given the following main program:

#main

   n = int(input("How many elements do you want in your list? "))
   a = createList(n)
   s1 = sumOfElementsAtEvenIndexes(a)
   print s1

   s2 = sumOfElementsAtOddIndexes(a)
   print s2
   s3 = sumOfAllElements1(a)
   print s3

   s4 = sumOfEvenElements(a)
   print s4
   s5 = sumOfOddElements(a)
   print s5

   s6 = sumOfAllElements2(a)
   print s6
   if (s3 != s6):

         print "Something is wrong in your program."
   else:

         print "Looks like you have done a good job."

Implement the functions as follows:

createList: returns a list object with n elements. The elements are generated randomly so that each element is in the range [15,45]
sumOfElementsAtEvenIndexes: returns the sum of the elements at even indexes. Use a for loop or a while loop.
sumOfElementsAtOddIndexes: returns the sum of the elements at odd indexes. Use a for loop or a while loop.
sumOfAllElements_A: returns the sum of all the elements in the list using the functionssumOfElementsAtEvenIndexes and sumOfElementsAtOddIndexes. Here you are NOT allowed to use any loop; instead make function calls as described.
sumOfEvenElements: returns the sum of the even integer elements in the list. Use a for loop or a while loop.
sumOfOddElements: returns the sum of the odd integer elements in the list. Use a for loop or a while loop.
sumOfAllElementsB: returns the sum of all the elements in the list using the functions sumOfEvenElements and sumOfOddElements. Here you are NOT allowed to use any loop; instead make function calls as described.

17. Most data compression algorithms like winzip, gzip, lzip and etc are based on the frequency distribution of characters in a given string. Write a function named getFreqDistribution that takes a string argument and returns a LIST that has length 26 such that the first element of the list is the number of appearance of 'a' or 'A' in the string, the second element is number of appearance of 'b' or 'B', and so on so forth.

I'm studying python 2 and have a lot of troubles with solving these homework questions.

You have been contracted by a popular fitness club to create a Java Program that
will help in the input, calculation, display of calories burnt and pounds lost during a week of
workout for members of the club.
The program will also base on the amount of weight lost update the weight of the user and
calculate and display the users BMI – body mass index using any researched method. See an
example here- http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html
The club takes part in 5 major types of activities, namely walking, running, swimming, hiking,
and bicycling.
The program is to prompt for the Name of the member, gender, weight in pounds, height and
the time spend on each activity during the week in minutes.
The program will then calculate the calories burnt per activity, the total calorie burnt for the
week and the amount of weight lost during the week.
The amount of weight loss will be used to update the weight that was stored in the array and
calculate the person BMI . http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html
Activity Calorie Burnt Per pound per minute for
men (women are 1/6 less)
Walking .036
Running .095
Swimming .058
Hiking .058
Bicycling .044
 Calories burned per pound per minute (Bicycling – .044) x (times) your exact weight
(140 pounds) = (equals) total calories burned per minute (6.16 calories burned per
minute) x(times)minutes of activity (30 minutes) = (equals) 184.80 total calories
burned per activity.
 Women burn 1/6 less calories than Men.
 3500 calories = 1 pound of weight loss.
Author: Dexter Chin-Yan
Write a program that would do the following:
 Print a suitable heading and prompt for the required information
 Calculate the necessary required information and store in an Array(s)
o After members names, gender, weight in pounds and time spent in each
activity has been entered (10 Members) The program should calculate the
total calories burnt Total Calorie Burnt for the week and the amount of
weight loss (depending on whether it is a man or a woman.
o Calculate and display BMI and weight status based on the table above.
General Guidelines:
 Make use of appropriate messages to make you program as informative and user
friendly as possible, without being unnecessarily complex.
 Keep user interactions simple and instructions clear
 Use adequate documentation and proper indentation to clarify your program code
where necessary and improve layout
 Pay attention to good structure and use of programming constructs.
Evaluation
 Documentation and layout (spacing, indentation and commenting) 10 marks
 Proper layout of interface for input, output of information 10 marks
 Use of method to calculate, BMI, calories burnt per activity, and weight loss.
20 marks
 Creation and use of arrays to hold and processed information 20 marks
 Working program (Correctness, efficiency, user interaction)
