1#
Write a program that allows users to choose from one of three shapes: Squares, Circles or (right)
Triangles. Allow the user to use the first letter of the shape (S, C, T) to specify what they want. After the
shape is selected, ask the user for the appropriate data to calculate the shape's area, and then and print
that area value to the screen for them.
Area formulas you can use:
Triangle: % base x height
Square: length x length
Circle: % Pl x radius?
Notes:
The floating-point data type will be your friend here. Round your area answer so that no more
than 2 decimal places are shown when printing on the screen.
You can use 3.1415 for Pl; Think about this as a CONSTANT in your code.
For this part and especially part (b) below, think about componentizing your code. So one
gigantic main() is not a best practice and not what we want to see here. Remember what we
discussed about "procedural decomposition" and functions last week!
in python String user_string is read from input with leading and trailing whitespaces. Remove any leading and trailing whitespaces in the string. If user_string contains the string 'Paint color:', lowercase all the characters in user_string. Otherwise, capitalize the first character in user_string. Finally, print out the resulting string.
In the class String, the substring method inserts a String into another String.
-True
or
-False

- 4. Area of a Rectangle • Write a program that compares the area of two rectangles. You can do this several ways. one way is to add the length and width of each rectangle to get it's area and then compare the two areas together. • The program should ask for the length and width of two rectangles and then tell the user which rectangle has the greater area, or if the areas are the same. • The area of a rectangle is the rectangle's length times its width. Name the source code file yourName HW4.py. • Test and run the program.

For instance, the words “smartest” and “mattress” are anagrams. Examplea Run 1: Please enter first word: lookplease enter the second word: coolSorry! “cool” and “look” are not anagrams. Run 2: Please enter first word: masters please enter the second word: smartes Yes! “masters” and “smartes” are anagrams. Hint: If you sort the two words that are anagrams, they will become identical! For instance, “smartest” and “masters” both sort to “aemrsstt” You can use all functions in <string.h> Sorting a string is exactly similar to sorting an array. You just need to know the length of the string and make sure you do not touch the terminating null.arrow_forward
