Plants Growth Cycle
Learning Objectives
In this lab, you will practice:
Defining a function to match the given specifications
Calling the function in your program
Using if statements (can combine them with dictionaries)
Instructions
For every plant, there is a growth cycle. The number of days that it takes starting from being a seed and ending in being a fruit is what is called the growth cycle. Write a function that takes a plant's name as an argument and returns its growth cycle (in days).
In your program:
Input from the user the name of a plant
Check if the input is either "strawberry", "cucumber" or "potato", if Yes:
2.1 Call calculate_growth_cycle
2.2. In function calculate_growth_cycle, check over the plant's name:
2.2.1 If strawberry, print "### The life cycle of a strawberry ###" and return 110
2.2.2 If cucumber, print "### The life cycle of a cucumber ###" and return 76
2.2.3 If potato, print "### The life cycle a potato ###" and return 120
2.3 With the growth cycle…

- Tracking laps Learning Objectives In this lab, you will practice writing functions, passing arguments and returning results from the function printing the result of a function call writing your code as a module Instructions Main Idea An Olympic-size swimming pool is used in the Olympic Games, where the racecourse is 50 meters (164.0 ft) in length. "In swimming, a lap is the same as a length. By definition, a lap means a complete trip around a race track, in swimming, the pool is the race track. Therefore if you swim from one end to the other, you’ve completed the track and thus you’ve completed one lap or one length." (Source: What Is A Lap In Swimming? Lap Vs Length) Write the function meters_to_laps() that takes a number of meters as an argument and returns the real number of laps.

Then use the built-in function random first to generate a number between 0 and 6 (including). The expression (random) by itself generates a random integer. You can call it with one parameter to return a value within the range from 0 to the value of the parameter-1. For example, (random 10) will return a value between 0 and 9. Next, use the number generated at the previous step to retrieve the symbol for the day of the week from the list. Use the built-in elt. Extract the symbol-name of the day first, then apply the built-in function capitalize to it. Use the result in the princ function call, and do the same thing for the next day. Make the function return true (t) instead of the last thing it evaluates, to avoid seeing the message printed more than once.arrow_forward
