Chapter 9, Problem 8AW
Program Plan Intro
Difference of two sets:
- • A set is an unordered collection of unique elements.
- • The set may contain different types of data; it can be numbers, characters, strings and also class objects.
- • Difference of two sets is the removal of elements from one set that are common in another set.
- • Thus, if difference is taken between“set1” and “set2”, then the common elements of “set1” and “set2” will be removed from “set1”.
- • In Python, “-” operator or “difference()” method can be used to find the difference of two sets.
- • The difference operation is not symmetric; thus, interchanging of operand sets will produce different results.

An Iterator is an object that allows your code to produce the elements in a vector or
other container one after the other, exactly once.
O True

A feature of our Set ADT is that it is a collection that allows duplicate elements.

There are a variety of ways that game developers store their level layouts. One simple method is to associate level elements with certain symbols, and then storing them in a 2D grid inside a text file. We will use our knowledge of 2D arrays to create a very simple Level Map Creator tool. The program should prompt the user to enter a width and height for the level. Then it should initialize a 2D array and fill every element with the "*" symbol. Afterwards, the user should be given the following options via a menu: 1. Clear Level Re-initialize the 2D array and fill every element with the "*" symbol. 2. Add Platform Prompt the user to enter a starting point and length for the horizontal platform.

In 1840 this shrewd industrialist founded a postal service between Liverpool and Halifax, featuring three wooden ships with 400-horsepower paddle wheels and a burden of 1,162 metric tons.

This function has the following parameters: my_turtle: A turtle object (which will do the drawing) polygon_points: A list of (x, y) points (i.e. a list of tuples) that defines the points of a polygon. This function should make the turtle draw the polygon given by the points. Make sure that you lift your pen before heading to the first point. You should also make sure you return to the very first point at the end (i.e. you will go to the first point in the list two times: once at the beginning, and once at the end).

- 3. form_letter This function takes a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary has an entry of key "name" and entry of key "date". It returns a list of strings, where each output string has replaced the name and the date into the following template. Use the format method on strings -- see Lecture 8! The template should be exactly like this -- just copy-paste this into your code. TEMPLATE = """Dear {name},Your appointment is at {time}.Thanks very much.-- bimmy""" It can be either local to your function, or global in your Python file. Your choice! Sample calls should look like this. >>> form_letter([{"name":"Alex", "time":"three o'clock"},{"name":"Laura", "time":"the stroke of midnight"}])["Dear Alex,\nYour appointment is at three o'clock.\nThanks very much.\n-- bimmy", 'Dear Laura,\nYour appointment is at the stroke of midnight.\nThanks very much.\n-- bimmy']arrow_forwardignore the 4a is actually the previous I donearrow_forwardThe elements in the set cannot be accessed using indexing and slicing, choose whether this statement is true or false. a.
