Program Plan Intro
List slicing:
- • Slicing is a concept of selecting a range of elements from a list.
- • In Python, an expression that selects a subsection of a list is known as a slice.
- • A slice is a span of elements that are taken from a list.
- • Normally, the slice expression has a start index and an end index for slicing.
- • Negative integers can also be used as indexes in the slicing expressions. The negative indexes refer to location relative to the end of the list.
Syntax:
In Python, the list slice statement with a negative index can be expressed as either.
listname[negativeIndex:]
or
listname[:negativeIndex]
Explanation:
In the list slice syntax,
- • As the “start” index or the “end” index is the negative index, Python adds this negative index with the length of the list to get the start or end reference position for slicing.

6. sum_highest_five
This function takes a list of numbers, finds the five largest numbers in the list, and returns their sum. If the list of numbers contains fewer than five elements, raise a ValueError with whatever error message you like.
Sample calls should look like:
>>> sum_highest_five([10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 5, -17, 2, 3.1])50>>> sum_highest_five([5])Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/idlelib/run.py", line 559, in runcode exec(code, self.locals) File "<pyshell#44>", line 1, in <module> File "/homework/final.py", line 102, in sum_highest_five raise ValueError("need at least 5 numbers")ValueError: need at least 5 numbers
reverse_number_in_list(number_list:list)-> list
This function will be given a list of numbers your job is to reverse all the numbers in the list and return a list with the reversed numbers. If a number ends with 0 you need to remove all the trailing zeros before reversing the number. An example of reversing numbers with trailing zeros: 10 -> 1, 590 -> 95. None of the numbers in the number_list will be less than 1.
Example:
number_list = [13, 45, 690, 57]
output = [31, 54, 96, 75]

- Complete the display_coins_list(coins_list) function. This function takes a list (always nine elements in length) as a parameter. The function displays 3 lines in total. An example of the output is as shown below: 123456789 --------- $ $$ $ The first line shows the digits 1 to 9 (as indicated in the example output above). The second line shows a single line of 9 "-" symbols (hyphens). The third line shows the coins list, formatted as in the examples.
