Chapter 5.1, Problem 2CP

Explanation of Solution

Divide and conquer:

The approach of dividing a program into smaller chunks is called as “divide and conquer” because a large program is divided into smaller tasks (called functions) that can be easily performed.

• • This is done in order to reduce the complexity of a program. Instead of writing a large complex program, it can be divided into small chunks, each one performing a particular part of the task.

Example for “divide and conquer”:

#Declare the variables

distance = 0

speed= 0.0

t=0

#Get the speed from the user

speed=float(input('Speed of the vehicle in mph:'))

#Get time from he user

time=int(float(input('Number o...
