Several of the programming exercises in this section ask you to find the mean and median value in a list. Recall that the mean is the arithmetic average and that that median is the middle value in an ordered list. When a list contains an odd number of values, the median is the value in the middle position. When a list contains an even number of values, the median is the mean of the values in the two middle positions. Chapter 2 described the remainder operator which you can use to determine whether a number is even or odd. When a number is divided by 2, the remainder is 0 if the number is even.
Design an application that accepts 10 numbers and displays them in descending order.
A for construct is a loop that iteratively processes a given list. So long as there are things to process, it will continue to operate. Is this a true or false statement?
The function that will a single items to the list is
Oextend (...)
Oadd(...)
Oappend(...)
Olengthen(...)

- The function interleave_lists in python takes two parameters, L1 and L2, both lists. Notice that the lists may have different lengths. The function accumulates a new list by appending alternating items from L1 and L2 until one list has been exhausted. The remaining items from the other list are then appended to the end of the new list, and the new list is returned. For example, if L1 = ["hop", "skip", "jump", "rest"] and L2 = ["up", "down"], then the function would return the list: ["hop", "up", "skip", "down", "jump", "rest"]. HINT: Python has a built-in function min() which is helpful here. Initialize accumulator variable newlist to be an empty list Set min_length = min(len(L1), len(L2)), the smaller of the two list lengths Use a for loop to iterate k over range(min_length) to do the first part of this function's work. On each iteration, append to newlist the item from index k in L1, and then append the item from index k in L2 (two appends on each iteration). AFTER the loop…arrow_forward* allSame returns true if all of the elements in list have the same value. * allSame returns false if any two elements in list have different values. * The array may be empty and it may contain duplicate values. * * Your solution should contain at most one loop.

- 3. lookup_friends_heights This function takes a friends database (a list of dictionaries, like the previous functions) and a list of friends names, and it returns a list of heights for the specified friends. If a given friend's name is not present in the friends database, we put a None in the corresponding slot. We assume that there will be at most one friend with a given name in the list. You may want to use nested for-loops for this function. Sample calls should look like this. >>> lookup_friends_heights([{"name":"todd","height":170},{"name": "sarah", "height":165},{"name":"dweezil", "height":175}], ["dweezil", "sarah"]) [175, 165] >>> lookup_friends_heights([{"name": "todd","height":170},{"name": "sarah","height":165},{"name": "dweezil", "height":175}], %3D ["sarah", "elíza", "dweezil"]) [165, None, 175]arrow_forward3. lookup_friends_heights This function takes a friends database (a list of dictionaries, like the previous functions) and a list of friends names, and it returns a list of heights for the specified friends.
