Program Plan Intro
List creation:
- • In Python, a “list” is an object that has multiple data elements.
- • Every data element that is stored in a given list is known as “element”.
- • To create a list, the elements are enclosed in a square bracket and separated by commas; then, this list of elements is assigned to a variable.
Algorithm to create a list of strings is as follows:
- • To create a list of given strings, the given strings are enclosed in a square bracket and separated by commas.
- • Create a new variable and name it as “l1” for referencing the list of strings.
- • The comma-separated strings inside square bracket are assigned to the variable “l1”.

Topics: User-defined functions, list, string, docstringProblem Statement: This program finds the unique letters from a given string and printsthe unique letters and their count. For example: word ‘LITTLE’ has ‘L’, ‘I’, ‘T’, ‘E’ are theunique letters.Lab Scenario:The program repeats until hits ‘n’. The program takes a user input of a string. The programfinds the unique letters in the string, add them in a list and displays the list and their count.Consider the following important points:1) You need to design a user-defined function named count_unique_letters whichtakes user word as parameter and returns the list of unique letters calledunique_letters in the given word.a. Hint: Iterate over each letter in user word, check if the letter is in the list, if notadd it to the list, otherwise continue to the next letter. A ‘in’ keyword can helpto determine if a character in the unique_letters list.b. You need to write a simple docstring for this function.2) Your program must have a main()…
Assuming we have the following list:
scientists = ["Galileo G.", "Charles D.", "Isaac N.", "Grace H."]
And we want to add three more names: "Richard F.", "Marie S.", "Jocelyn B."
Which of the following commands will work:
Select one or more:
a. scientists.append(["Richard F."])
scientists.append(["Marie S."])
scientists.append(["Jocelyn B."])
b.
C.
d.
scientists.append("Richard F.")
scientists.append("Marie S.")
scientists.append("Jocelyn B.")
scientists += ["Richard F.", "Marie S.", "Jocelyn B."]

- Lists: Create a list of student names. These are strings representing the names of students in your class (e.g., ["John", "Mary", "Peter", "Sam"]). 2. Tuples: For each student, create a tuple that stores their grades in different subjects. The subjects are Mathematics, English, and Science (e.g., (85, 90, 88)). 3. Dictionaries: Now, create a dictionary where the keys are the names of the students (from your list), and the values are the tuples storing their grades. This way, you can easily look up a student's grades in different subjects.arrow_forwardlanguage using - Javaarrow_forward2. count_fred_and_ted Given a list of strings called names , count up how many of those names are either "fred" or "ted", and return the count.

- You have a list of student ID’s followed by the course number (separated by a space) that the student is enrolled in. The listing is in no particular order. For example, if student 1 is in CS100 and CS200 while student 2 is in CS105 and MATH210 then the list might look like this:1 CS1002 MATH2102 CS1051 CS200Write a program that reads data in this format from the console. If the ID is −1 then stop inputting data. Use the HashMap class to map from an Integer (the student ID) to an ArrayList of type String that holds each class that the student is enrolled in. The declaration should look like this:HashMap<Integer, ArrayList<String>> students =new HashMap<Integer, ArrayList<String>>();After all data is input, iterate through the map and output the student ID and all classes stored in the vector for that student. The result should be a list of classes organized by student ID.arrow_forwardpublic static String pancakeScramble(String text) This nifty little problem is taken from the excellent Wolfram Challenges problem site where you can also see examples of what the result should be for various arguments.

- Complete the rotate_text() function that takes 2 parameters, a string data and an integer n. If n is positive, then the function will shift all the characters in data forward by n positions, with characters at the end of the string being moved to the start of the string. If n is 0 then the text remains the same. For example: rotate_text('abcde', rotate_text('abcde', rotate_text('abcde', 1) would return the string 'eabcd' 3) would return the string 'cdeab' 5) would return the string 'abcde' rotate_text('abcde', 6) would return the string 'eabcd' ... and so on. If n is negative, then the function will shift the characters in data backward by n positions, with characters at the start of the string being moved to the end of the string. For example: rotate text('abcde', -1) would return the string 'bcdea'arrow_forwardAlert: Don't submit AI generated answer and please submit a step by step solution and detail explanation for each steps.

Yahtzee is a dice game that uses five die. There are multiple scoring abilities with the highest being a Yahtzee where all five die are the same. You will simulate rolling five die 777 times while looking for a yahtzee. Program Specifications : Create a list that holds the values of your five die. Populate the list with five random numbers between 1 & 6, the values on a die. Create a function to see if all five values in the list are the same and IF they are, print the phrase "You rolled ##### and its a Yahtzee!" (note: ##### will be replaced with the values in the list) Create a loop that completes the process 777 times, simulating you rolling the 5 die 777 times, checking for Yahtzee, and printing the statement above when a Yahtzee is rolled.
