Chapter 6, Problem 1MC
This is a prewritten function that is built into a
- a. standard function
- b. library function
- c. custom function
- d. cafeteria function
Expert Solution & Answer
Program Description Answer
The prewritten function that is used to build into a programming language is a library function.
Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.
Explanation of Solution
Library Function:
- Many programming languages are come with a library functions which means the functions are already written for the languages. It is called library function.
- These functions are built into the programming languages and the programmer can call that functions whenever they want to access it.
- The library functions perform most of the tasks that the programmers normally want to perform so it makes easier for the programmer.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Standard Function:
The standard function is not a valid build-in function.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
Custom Function:
The custom function is not a valid build-in function.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
The cafeteria function is not a valid build-in function.
Cafeteria Function:
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

"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. Complete the program to output the number of laps with two digits after the period.
