2. Test Scores
File: test_scores.py
Write pseudocode for the main() part of a program that asks the user to enter 4 test scores between 0 and 100, then displays a JCU grade for each score and also the average test score.
When you have written the pseudocode for main, implement your solution in Python code and test it with a range of meaningful data.
Remember that we've done the JCU grades question before, so copy your function from that practical code file.
Sample Output
Score: 3
Score: 50.5
Score: 66
Score: 100
Score 3.0, which is N
Score 50.5, which is P
Score 66.0, which is C
Score 100.0, which is HD
The average score was 54.875

We asked for 4 scores. Have a look at your code... did you use 4 as a numeric literal or a constant?Change 4 to 3... Did you have to change the program in more than one place?If so, then you've missed one of the things we've taught...As a strong guideline: if you need to use the same literal more than once, you…

- A prime number is an integer value that is only divisible by 1 and itself. 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11 are examples of prime numbers. You have been provided with two function definitions: The is_prime () function takes an integer parameter number, and returns True if number is prime and False otherwise. The get_next_prime () function also takes a single integer parameter number, and returns the first prime number larger than it. You must not change the implementation of these 2 functions. Complete the get_primes_list() function that takes a single list of integers called numbers as parameter. You can assume that the integer items in this list will be non-negative. The function must update this list so that items that are not prime numbers are updated to the first prime number larger than them. To implement this function you must call both the is_prime () and get_next_prime () functions. Some examples of the function being called are shown below. Note: the get_primes_list() function does not…arrow_forwardI am doing a word guessing game where I have created a function that shuffles a word randomly. However, I want to create a function that will act as a clue when the user presses it; it will display the first word of the jumbled word. For example, if the word is - friends, The Jumbled word would be - siedfrn, with the function I already made. However, in order for users to get some help, they can press a number(4), and the needed function will result in the output to be- fiedsrn.arrow_forwardthello is a board game and you are expected to implement the move function for this game. Arguments passed to the function are - a symbol of the player making the move and x y coordinates of the cell at which the player wishes to make the move. The move function will be returning a boolean, false - if the move isn't feasible and true - if the move is feasible and this function will also make the move then i.e. make the required changes in the board. Input Format: Line 1: Integer n (Total number of moves) Line 2: Player 1 coordinates, x and y (Two integers separated by space) Line 3: Player 2 coordinates, x and y (Two integers separated by space) Note 1: Number of moves (i.e. n) is always even and Player 1 always starts the game. Note 2: If any player's coordinates are not valid, enter again till the right move. Main function is given for you reference.

- python function!: a function called popular_color with one parameter, of type dict[str, str] of names and favorite colors. The return type is a str and it is the most commonly occuring color. If two colors are tied for popularity, the first color shown will be picked.arrow_forwardWrite a function called substring that uses the leftmatch and rightmatch functions to remove a pattern from the left and right side of a value. It should take three arguments as shown: $ substring /usr/ /usr/spool/uucppublic /uucppublic spool $ substring s. s.main.c .c main $ substring s. s.main.c .o Only left match main.c $ substring x. s.main.c .o No matches s. main.carrow_forwardComplete the process_name() function that takes a single string parameter name. You can assume that the name will always be in the format first name surname with a single space character between the first name and the surname. The function returns a string consisting of the first letter of the first name followed by the first three letters of the surname. All of the characters in the returned string should be in lowercase. Some examples of the function being used are shown below: For example: Test Result print(process_name("Damir Azhar")) dazh print(process_name("Ann Cameron")) acam Answer: (penalty regime: 0 %) Reset answer 1v def process_name (name): 2arrow_forward
- Using C++ Write the section of code which takes an array of characters and copies it to another array of characters. At this point two arrays of characters should hold the same name. You will need to use one of the loop instructions to do this. You can't use any built in functions. Write a second section of code which concatenates two arrays of characters into a third array of characters. The first array (which holds the first name) will be copied into the third array and the second array (which holds the last name) will be concatenated onto the third array. Once you are done filling in the arrays you should output the two sentences below. You are given the example input and output below.Example Input: Input first name -> FredInput last name -> SmithExample output: Your first name is Fred and the copy of your first name is Fred. Your first name is Fred and your last name is Smith and the concatenation is FredSmith.arrow_forwardIn JavaScript, there are two types of comments: 1. Single-line comments start with // 2. Multi-line or inline comments start with /* and end with */ The input will be a sequence of //, /* and */. Every /* must have a */ that immediately follows it. To add, there can be no single-line comments in between multi-line comments in between the /* and */ . Create a function that returns true if comments are properly formatted, and false otherwise. Examples comments Correct("//////") → true // 3 single-line comments: ["//", "//", "//"] commentsCorrect("/**//**////**/") → true // 3 multi-line comments + 1 single-line comment: // ["/*", "*/", "/*", "*/", "//", "/*", "*/"] comments Correct("///*/**/") → false // The first /* is missing a */ comments Correct("/////") → false // The 5th / is single, not a double //arrow_forwardC Program Functions using Pointers Create a function modify that accepts an integer and divides the integer by 2 if it is even. If the integer is odd, add one and divide it by 2. The function does not return anything. In the main function, write a program that asks for an integer input and call the modify function by passing in the reference of that variable as a parameter. An initial code is provided for you. Just fill in the blanks. Input 1. One line containing an integer input Output Enter a number: 5 Before: 5 After: 3arrow_forward
- (Numerical) Write a program that tests the effectiveness of the rand() library function. Start by initializing 10 counters to 0, and then generate a large number of pseudorandom integers between 0 and 9. Each time a 0 occurs, increment the variable you have designated as the zero counter; when a 1 occurs, increment the counter variable that’s keeping count of the 1s that occur; and so on. Finally, display the number of 0s, 1s, 2s, and so on that occurred and the percentage of the time they occurred.arrow_forward4. The following program loads and displays an image. Complete the modify function to change the brightness of the image. The parameter m is a multiplication factor. modify will will multiply each pixel by m - that means you need to multiply the red, green, and blue channels by m, create a new pixel with new red, green, and blue values, and replace the old pixel with the new pixel. Be sure none of the red, green, and blue values exceed 255 (if a value is greater than 255, set it to 255). Your program should work for images of any size. A good example is the sepia tone exercise. Do not change the main function, except to try different values for the multiplication factor. Save & Run Load History 1 import image 3 def modify(pic, m): '''Multiply each pixel by m to darken or brighten an image''' pass #You can leave this or remove it #Your code here to change the brightness of the image 4 7 8 def main(): 9.

This effect is known as sepia, as shown in the figures below. Original Sepia Original Image & Sepia Image Write and test a function named sepia that converts a color image to sepia. This function should first call grayscale to convert the color image to grayscale. A code segment for transforming the grayscale values to achieve a sepia effect follows.Note that the value for green does not change. (red, green, blue) = image.getPixel(x, y)if red < 63: red = int(red * 1.1) blue = int(blue * 0.9)elif red < 192: red = int(red * 1.15) blue = int(blue * 0.85)else: red = min(int(red * 1.08), 255) blue = int(blue * 0. 1.
