2. Test Scores
File: test_scores.py
Write pseudocode for the main() part of a program that asks the user to enter 4 test scores between 0 and 100, then displays a JCU grade for each score and also the average test score.
When you have written the pseudocode for main, implement your solution in Python code and test it with a range of meaningful data.
Remember that we've done the JCU grades question before, so copy your function from that practical code file.
Sample Output
Score: 3
Score: 50.5
Score: 66
Score: 100
Score 3.0, which is N
Score 50.5, which is P
Score 66.0, which is C
Score 100.0, which is HD
The average score was 54.875

We asked for 4 scores. Have a look at your code... did you use 4 as a numeric literal or a constant?Change 4 to 3... Did you have to change the program in more than one place?If so, then you've missed one of the things we've taught...As a strong guideline: if you need to use the same literal more than once, you…
A prime number is an integer value that is only divisible by 1 and itself. 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11 are examples of prime numbers. You have been provided with
two function definitions:
The is_prime () function takes an integer parameter number, and returns True if number is prime and False otherwise. The
get_next_prime () function also takes a single integer parameter number, and returns the first prime number larger than it. You must not
change the implementation of these 2 functions.
Complete the get_primes_list() function that takes a single list of integers called numbers as parameter. You can assume that the integer
items in this list will be non-negative. The function must update this list so that items that are not prime numbers are updated to the first prime number
larger than them. To implement this function you must call both the is_prime () and get_next_prime () functions. Some examples of the
function being called are shown below.
Note: the get_primes_list() function does not…
Using either pseudocode of C++ code, write a function that takes three parameters and performs a sequential search. The first parameter is an array of integers. The second parameter is an integer representing the size of the array. The third parameter takes the value to be search form. The function should return the subscripts at which the value is found or -1 is the array does not contain the search term.

- C languagearrow_forwardUsing C++ Write the section of code which takes an array of characters and copies it to another array of characters. At this point two arrays of characters should hold the same name. You will need to use one of the loop instructions to do this. You can't use any built in functions. Write a second section of code which concatenates two arrays of characters into a third array of characters. The first array (which holds the first name) will be copied into the third array and the second array (which holds the last name) will be concatenated onto the third array. Once you are done filling in the arrays you should output the two sentences below. You are given the example input and output below.Example Input: Input first name -> FredInput last name -> SmithExample output: Your first name is Fred and the copy of your first name is Fred. Your first name is Fred and your last name is Smith and the concatenation is FredSmith.arrow_forwardC Program Functions using Pointers Create a function modify that accepts an integer and divides the integer by 2 if it is even. If the integer is odd, add one and divide it by 2. The function does not return anything. In the main function, write a program that asks for an integer input and call the modify function by passing in the reference of that variable as a parameter. An initial code is provided for you.

- (Numerical) Write a program that tests the effectiveness of the rand() library function. Start by initializing 10 counters to 0, and then generate a large number of pseudorandom integers between 0 and 9. Each time a 0 occurs, increment the variable you have designated as the zero counter; when a 1 occurs, increment the counter variable that’s keeping count of the 1s that occur; and so on. Finally, display the number of 0s, 1s, 2s, and so on that occurred and the percentage of the time they occurred.arrow_forward4. The following program loads and displays an image. Complete the modify function to change the brightness of the image. The parameter m is a multiplication factor. modify will will multiply each pixel by m - that means you need to multiply the red, green, and blue channels by m, create a new pixel with new red, green, and blue values, and replace the old pixel with the new pixel. Be sure none of the red, green, and blue values exceed 255 (if a value is greater than 255, set it to 255). Your program should work for images of any size. A good example is the sepia tone exercise. Do not change the main function, except to try different values for the multiplication factor.

This function has parameters for the players number (which will be either 1 or 2), and the number of sticks remaining on the board. For this function you will need to do the following: Use the input function to get the player to type in their selection. Validate the user’s input, printing out a message if they enter an invalid number and continually prompting them until they do enter a valid number. The user may enter any number between 1 and 3, unless there are fewer than 3 sticks remaining, in which case they can only enter between 1 and the number of sticks remaining. As in the example, the input prompt should list the valid range of numbers. Return the (validated) number as an integer (not a string). You should test that this function works by running it in the REPL. Make sure you try different scenarios, like the user entering an invalid number multiple times in a row. After you are done testing and fixing any errors you find,…arrow_forward
- In python, Old-fashioned photographs from the nineteenth century are not quite black and white and not quite color, but seem to have shades of gray, brown, and blue. This effect is known as sepia, as shown in the figures below. Original Sepia Original Image & Sepia Image Write and test a function named sepia that converts a color image to sepia. This function should first call grayscale to convert the color image to grayscale. A code segment for transforming the grayscale values to achieve a sepia effect follows.Note that the value for green does not change. (red, green, blue) = image.getPixel(x, y)if red < 63: red = int(red * 1.1) blue = int(blue * 0.9)elif red < 192: red = int(red * 1.15) blue = int(blue * 0.85)else: red = min(int(red * 1.08), 255) blue = int(blue * 0. 1.

It will return the randomly generated password as its ONLY result. Display the randomly generated password in the main program. Password Criteria: o The password should have a random length of between 7 and 10 characters. o Each character should be randomly selected from positions 33 to 126 from the ASCII table You must import randint function directly and inline within the random package and it must be the first line of code in your program, after your program header comment. o Declaring and using FOUR constants. Constants must be named appropriately and intuitively. o You must use the chr built-in function within your randomPassword function: o Declaring the main function and invoking randomPassword function. o Logical approach to problem solving, computation, and displaying appropriate output.arrow_forwardUsing the following header, create a recursive function that shows an integer value backwards on the console using the syntax:reverseDisplay(value) is defined as follows:For example, the reverseDisplay(12345) function shows the number 54321.

The game asks the user to input a number and tells how close it is to the secret random number that the game generates. Complete the main() function that implements this game by calling the get_user_input(), generate_secret(), and display_result(user_input, secret) functions that you will develop as follows: • Complete the get_user_input() function so that it prompts the user to enter a whole number between 1 and 20 (inclusive) and returns the number that the user enters. • Complete the generate_secret() function so that it generates and returns a random number between 1 and 20 (inclusive). • Complete the display_result(user_input, secret) function that takes the two parameters that correspond to the user input and the secret. It should then print the absolute difference between these two numbers. For example: Test Input Result random.seed (10) S Enter a number from 1 to 2015 You entered 5. The secret was 19.
