Write Python Statements for the following pseudocode: Q1. Prompt the user to enter tax rate, read user input and store it into a variable tax_rate. tax_rate is a floating point number. Q2. Write the if..else block statement to check if tax_rate entered from Q1 is negative. If it is negative, display message "Cannot process negative tax rate.", otherwise display message "Ready to process."

Max Function
Statistical function is of many categories. One of them is a MAX function. The MAX function returns the largest value from the list of arguments passed to it. MAX function always ignores the empty cells when performing the calculation.
Power Function
A power function is a type of single-term function. Its definition states that it is a variable containing a base value raised to a constant value acting as an exponent. This variable may also have a coefficient. For instance, the area of a circle can be given as:
Question

Transcribed Image Text:## Question 23
### Write Python Statements for the Following Pseudocode
**Q1.** Prompt the user to enter tax rate, read user input and store it into a variable `tax_rate`. `tax_rate` is a floating point number.
**Q2.** Write the `if..else` block statement to check if `tax_rate` entered from Q1 is negative. If it is negative, display message `"Cannot process negative tax rate."`, otherwise display message `"Ready to process."`
### Explanation
This exercise asks you to write Python code that performs two main tasks:
1. **User Input**:
- You need to ask the user to input a tax rate.
- Store this input in a variable called `tax_rate` as a floating point number.
2. **Conditional Check**:
- Using an `if..else` statement, you should check if the value of `tax_rate` is negative.
- If `tax_rate` is less than zero, print the message `"Cannot process negative tax rate."`
- Otherwise, print the message `"Ready to process."`
This task helps in understanding how to handle user input and implement basic control flow using conditional statements in Python.
Expert Solution

Explanation
1) Below is python program that write statements for pseudocode in questions (Q1 and Q2)
- Statement to prompt user to enter tax rate, read user input and store it into a variable tax_rate(tax_rate is a floating point number)
- Statements with If else block statement to check if tax_rate enterd is negative
- if negative display "Cannot process negative tax rate"
- else otherwise display message "Ready to process"
2) Save program in python file and run
