Q1)Define a function called Jimmy....

Solution :

Lack of time [Just use print command in

every line and design it.]
Q4) For admission in a school, there are 10 applicants... (Pretty long question tho..)

if a==b:
print"Both draws came same so re-
drawing another one"
c=random.randint(101,110) #just a
preventive measure
print "Selected candidate 2 is ",c
else:
print "Selected candidate 2 is ",b

Q1) Write a function that takes amount in dollars and dollars to rupee conversion price; it
then returns the amount converted to rupees. Create the function in both void and non-
void forms.

Solution :

def nonvoiddtor(x,y): #Nonvoid

res=x*y
return res
x=input("Enter the conversion price ")
y=input("Enter amount to be converted
($$) ")
print "The prince in Rupee is : ",
voiddtor(x,y)

def voiddtor(x,y): #Void

res=x*y
print "The price converted in Rupee
is : ",res
x=input("Enter the conversion price ")

($$) ")
nonvoiddtor(x,y)
Q2) Write a function to calculate volume of a box with appropriate default values for its
parameters. Your function should have the following input parameters: (a) length of box;
(b) width of box; (c)height of box.
Test it by writing complete program to invoke it.

Solution :

def boxvolume(l,b,h):
 l=20.0
b=25.5
h=40.0
res=l*b*h
print res," is the volume of box. "

Q3) Write a program to have following functions :
(i) a function that takes a number as argument and calculates cube for it. The function
does not return a value. If there is no value passed to the function in function call, the
function should calculate the cube of 2.
(ii) a function that takes two char arguments and return True if both the arguments are
equal otherwise False.
Test bot these function by giving appropriate function call statements.

Solution :

def cuberoot(x=2):
print x**3, "is the value "
x=input("Enter the no. to calculate cube
")
cuberoot(x)
