Instructions Create a program that contains a function append_combine(x, a) where x is a list of integers and a is an integer. Aside from appending a to list x , the function should also check if the number at the end of list before appending a are equal. If they are, then these two values should be combined instead. Combining should be done repeteadly until there are no more consecutive pairs in the list. See example below. Example test cases x = [] append_combine(x, 1) # [1] append_combine(x, 2) # -> [1, 2] append_combine(x, 2) # -> [1, 2, 2] -> [1, 4] append_combine(x, 2) # -> [1, 4, 2] append_combine(x, 2) # -> [1, 4, 2, 2] -> [1, 4, 4] -> [1, 8] append_combine(x, 3) # -> [1, 8, 3] append_combine(x, 2) # -> [1, 8, 3, 2] append_combine(x, 4) # -> [1, 8, 3, 2, 4] append_combine(x, 4) # -> [1, 8, 3, 2, 4, 4] -> [1, 8, 3, 2, 8] # Final value of x is [1, 8, 3, 2, 8]

Code the following write a For loop that iterates through a list of products (any number of products) that are sold in a store and prints them. [examples: fan, fridge, freezer, washer, etc.]. b) copy the code from a) and use the same loop to add more products(any)to the list. You must use list methods to add. c) Copy the code from c), and search for a specific product (any), if the product is found the loop is terminated. Make sure to use else in the for loop. d) Create an empty dictionary, then add 4 entries (the key is a word, the value is word’s frequency in a book). [example: {‘street’: 23}]. e) Create a for loop to access the entries from d) and print the keys and values. f) Copy the code from e) and search for a specific key in the dictionary and prints its value. The program prints a message “ the {key} is not found”, if the key does not exist. ..?

#in c++ We need to store information about each student in a class of N students. For example, name, student_no, specialization and GPA. Write a menu-driven program that allows the user to enter queries as many times as he wishes. The menu should offer the following options: 1. Add a new student. 2. Update student information using his/her student_no. 3. Get a list of all students with GPA above an input GPA. 4. List all the information about a student using his/her student_no. 5. Delete a student his/her student_no. 6. Quit

Please follow the instructions The function first_words in python takes one parameter, fname, the name of a text file, and returns a list containing the first word from each line of the file. For example, if the file contents are: apples are red bananas are yellow limes are green then the list ["apples", "bananas", "limes"] should be returned.NOTE: You may assume the file will contain no blank lines.BIG HINT: If line is a string representing a line of text (inside of a for loop!), then L = line.split() creates a list of the words in the line. For example: Test Result L = first_words("snakes.txt") print(L) ['Cottonmouth', 'Timber', 'Black', 'Tiger', 'Copperhead', 'Eastern', 'Western', 'Eastern', 'Prairie', 'Mojave']
Q1) Using Functions and Lists write a program where a function filterEvens takes a list of mix numbers and return it by filtering all the evens out. You can take list items from user or create static, and then passed it to function. The output should be the list with only evens example input_list = [12, 5, 7, 8, 2, 4, 1] output = [12, 8, 2, 4].

Create a function that compares two lists of integer values to see whether they are identical (i.e. contain the same values). If the lists are not identical, the procedure must give the maximum value for each list.
Common between Us Write a program that asks the user to input 2 lists of numbers, 5 numbers per list. Your program should identify the common numbers in the lists or the numbers that are present in both lists. See sample lists and output below. Input: List 1: 20 3 59 1 3 List 2: 1 20 1 43 List 1: 3 5 86 31 23 List 1: 53 43 76 123 645 List 2: 21 54 87 13 7 List 2: 435 445 6 12 76 Output: 20 3 1 Output: None Output: 76

Python's range() function only returns a range, excluding the end value. The range() function should be used in conjunction with a generator function that includes the stop value. With the three parameters start, stop, and step, the function can generate the necessary list.
The program will take in a year as an input from the user and output the popular dance and popular slang from that decade. Years, slang, and dances are stored in parallel lists in the starter code. The decade 1920 is located at index 0 and accompanies the 1920’s slang and dance also located at index 0, the decade 1930 is located at index 1 and accompanies the 1930’s slang and dance also located at index 1, etc. Sample Input/Output: >> Year: 1934 In the 1930's, The Jitterbug was the hip dance craze! >> Year: 1989 In the 1980's, The Moonwalk was the gnarly dance craze! Assume the user enters a year between 1920 and 2022, inclusive. To find the decade, round the year down to the nearest decade.
