Program Plan Intro

Character testing library functions:

  • Library functions other than the string library functions are provided by programming language, which are intended to work with single characters.
  • The support library functions are used for testing the value of the character.
  • The function will return the Boolean result on testing; the result will be in “True” or “False” format.

isUpper(character):

  • This function is used to validate whether the character given is upper case letter.
    • The function will return “True” if the character is in upper case.
    • The function will return “False” if the character is in lower case.

isLower(character):

  • This function is used to validate whether the character given is lower case letter.
    • The function will return “True” if the character is in lower case.
    • The function will return “False” if the character is in upper case.

Example:

The below algorithm determines whether the first character in the string is in upper case and the present is in upper case, the character gets replaced by “0”.

//determine if the first character is in upper case

If isUpperCase (str[0]) Then

//replace the values present at the first position

Set str [0] = "0"

//end if

End If

Explanation:

  • If condition validates the first position of the “str” is in upper case or not.
  • If the condition becomes true, the character at positon “0” gets replaced with the character “0”.

Accessing string using subscript notation:

  • The string that are accessed using the subscript notation uses subscript “0” to hold the first character and similarly till the last character.
  • The first value the index value will be “0” and to find the last character use “length(variable)-1”.
  • When a string is tried to access using an invalid subscript, it will throw an error.

Analysis of the given statement:

//declare and define a string

Declare string str= “Might”

//set the value located at the subscript 5 as defined

Set str[5] = “y”

What is the python code for the  function def readFloat(prompt) that displays the prompt string, followed by a space, reads a floating-point number in, and returns it. Here is a typical usage:                    salary = readFloat("Please enter your salary:")                    percentageRaise = readFloat("What percentage raise would you like?")
assume python does not define count method that can be applied to a string to determine the number of occurances of a character within a string. Implement the function numChars that takes a string and a character as arguments and determined and returns how many occurances of the given character occur withing the given string
Consider the ER diagram of online sales system above. Based on the diagram answer the questions below, a) Based on the ER Diagram, determine the Foreign Key in the Product Table. Just mention the name of the attribute that could be the Foreign Key. b) Mention the relationship between the Order and Customer Entities. You can use the following: 1:1, 1:M, M:1, 0:1, 1:0, M:0, 0:M c) Is there a direct relationship that exists between Store and Customer entities? Answer Yes/No? d) Which of the 4 Entities mention in the diagram can have a recursive relationship? e) If a new entity Order_Details is introduced, will it be a strong entity or weak entity? If it is a weak entity, then mention its type?
