Part 2

Accompanying resources

Exercise 1

Using the Python interpreter:

  • Define a function called greet that meets the following criteria:
    • Takes an argument called name.
    • Prints a greeting using the name parameter.
  • Invoke the greet function using your name as the argument.
  • Invoke the greet function using the value "Darth Vader" as the argument.
  • Invoke the greet function using the value "Guido van Rossum" as the argument.

Exercise 2

Create a script called greet.py.

  • Define a function called greet that meets the following criteria:
    • Takes an argument called name.
    • Prints a greeting using the name parameter.
  • Define another function called name_input that meets the following criteria:
    • Takes no arguments.
    • Prints a message to the screen requesting the user to provide a name.
    • Returns a string with the value equals to that of the provided name.
  • Using these two functions, prompt the user for a name and print it to the screen.
  • Each function must have an appropriate docstring.

Exercise 3

Create a script called exponentiator.py

  • Define a function named exponentiate with the following criteria:

    • Takes two integers as arguments.
    • Returns the value of the first integer raised to the power of the second integer.
    • Make sure the function has an appropriate docstring.
  • Define a function named raise_to_fourth_power with the following criteria:

    • Takes one integer as an argument.
    • Calls the exponentiate function to raise the given paremeter to the 4th power.
    • Make sure the function has an appropriate docstring.
  • Create a variable called square. The value assigned to this variable should be a lambda expression that utilizes the exponentiate function to raise a number to the power of 2.

  • Create a variable called cube. The value assigned to this variable should be a lambda expression that utilizes the exponentiate function to raise a number to the power of 3.

  • In the main part of your script, print the output of square(2).

  • In the main part of your script, print the output of cube(2).

  • In the main part of your script, print the output of raise_to_fourth_power(2).

  • When executed, your script should provide the following output.
