Chapter 5, Problem 15PP
Write a program that reads two fractions, adds them, and prints the result so that the numerator and denominator have no common factor. For example, when adding 3/4 and 5/6, the result is 19/12. Use helper functions for obtaining the numerator and denominator of strings such as "3/4", and for computing the greatest common divisor of two integers.

Write a DECIMATOR function that takes a unit of character
and minimizes it (i.e. removes the last 1/10 of characters).
Always zoom in: if a bullet unit has 21 characters, 1/10 of the characters
will be 2.1 characters, so DECIMATOR removes 3 characters. DECIMATOR is not kind!
Examples
decimator ("1234567890") 12 "123456789"
# 10 characters, taken out 1.
decimator ("1234567890AB")
# 12 characters, 2 are released.
"1234567890"
decimator ("123")
"12"
# 3 characters, taken out 1.
decimator ("123456789012345678901")
# 21 characters, issued 3.

Write a function, print_integers_less_than(n), which takes an integer parameter n and prints each integer k which is at least 0 and is less than n, in ascending order.
Hint: use a simple for loop.
For example:

print_integers_less_than(2)

print_integers_less_than(-3)
Write a program that reads two matrices of integers. It then generates the sum and difference of the two matrices.
The sum of the two matrices of the same size is a matrix with elements that are the sums of the corresponding elements of the two given matrices. Addition is not defined for matrices of different sizes.
If A and B are matrices of the same size, then we define subtraction as follows: A – B = A + (-B). Thus, to subtract matrix B from matrix A, we simply subtract corresponding elements.

- Write a program that uses random function to randomly generate 6 integers between 0 and 99 with 0 and 99 included. Save them in a Bag. Ask a user to make a guess. If the user’s guess is one of the numbers in the Bag, then give user 10 points and remove the number from the Bag. Allow the user to make 10 attempts. Each time give user 10 points if the number user guess is in the Bag. If the Bag is getting emptied before the user reach 10 attempts, then give user an additional 200 points and terminate the program (Game is over!). If the Bag is not empty after the user use up all 10 attempts, then display the user’s score and terminate the program (Game is over!). **Note** I am having trouble figuring out the 10 attempts and random numbers part of the program.arrow_forwardAs the algorithm performs division of numbers with high precision, it is very common to see really big numbers after the period (for example: 1200.2300001), which is not desirable because of several reasons: may cause confusion to some users when they see such big numbers; uses more memory to store a bigger number; it just does not make sense to display currency number in this format. For this reason, you are going to implement a utility function to format any number into the appropriate currency format, using 2 decimal places. For example: The number 1200.2300001 would be became: 1200.23arrow_forwardIn python, Problem Description:Sheldon and Leonard are physicists who are fixated on the BIG BANG theory. In order to exchange secret insights they have devised a code that encodes UPPERCASE words by shifting their letters forward. Shifting a letter by S positions means to go forward S letters in the alphabet. For example, shifting B by S = 3 positions gives E. However, sometimes this makes us go past Z, the last letter of the alphabet. Whenever this happens we wrap around, treating A as the letter that follows Z. For example, shifting Z by S = 2 positions gives B. Sheldon and Leonard’s code depends on a parameter K and also varies depending on the position of each letter in the word. For the letter at position P, they use the shift value of S = 3P + K. For example, here is how ZOOM is encoded when K = 3. The first letter Z has a shift valueof S = 3 × 1 + 3 = 6; it wraps around and becomes the letter F. The second letter, O, hasS = 3 × 2 + 3 = 9 and becomes X. The last two letters…arrow_forward
- If you add up all the digits in 468, you get 4 + 6 + 8 = 18. The square and cube of 468 are 219024 and 102503232, respectively. Interestingly, if you add up the digits of the square or cube, you get 18 again. Are there other integers that share this property? Write a program that lists all positive integers k less than 1000 such that the three numbers k, k2, and k3 have digits that add up to the same number.arrow_forwardIn the classic problem FizzBuzz, you are told to print the numbers from 1 to n. However,when the number is divisible by 3, print "Fizz''. When it is divisible by 5, print "Buzz''. When it isdivisible by 3 and 5, print"FizzBuzz''. In this problem, you are asked to do this in a multithreaded way.Implement a multithreaded version of FizzBuzz with four threads. One thread checks for divisibilityof 3 and prints"Fizz''.

- A supermarket is doing a sales promotion for soft drinks. If one day you buy soft drinks and bring the empty bottles the next day, they exchange each set of K empty bottles for a full one. A customer wants to make the most of this offer and therefore bought several bottles on the first day of the promotion. Now he wants to know how many bottles he will have at the end of the second day of the promotion if he use it to the fullest. Make a program to calculate this. Input The first input line contains integer T (1 ≤ T ≤ 10000), which indicates the number of test cases. In each of the following T lines come two integers N and K (1 ≤ K, N ≤ 10000), respectively the number of soft drinks bought and the number of empty bottles to gain a full. Output For each test case print the number of bottles that the customer will have on the second day, if he makes the most of the offer.arrow_forwardWrite a program, which takes a positive integer as input, and prints which powers of 2 does the numberlie between. For example, the number 269 lies between 28(256) and 29(512). If the input is 269, theoutput should be 8 9. Borderline cases which are powers of 2, such as 256, should be aligned to the lowerlimit of the desired range output, i.e. 28(256). You should not use math functions such as pow.arrow_forwardGoing missing Some calculations involving blank values may give different results to what you might expect. For example, when you pass a blank value into the AND() function, it is treated as TRUE. This is often unhelpful. To make blanks behave in a sensible way in calculations, you must first convert them to be "not available" using NA(). This function takes no inputs, and returns a missing value. To convert a blank value to a missing value, use this pattern. =IF(ISBLANK(cell), NA(), cell) Instruction In column H, use AND() to find women who have kids and get benefits. In column I, convert the blanks in column G to missing values. In column J, again find women who have kids and get benefits, this time using column I rather than G. please show the formula used to "has kids and gets benefits" , "gets benefits with missing values", has kids and gets benefits".
