Chapter 9.2, Problem 22CP
Program Plan Intro
Built-in function “len()”:
- • The built-in-function “len()” is commonly used in Python to find the length of a list.
- • The function “len()” will take the object that wants to find the length as parameter and output the length.
- • To find the number of elements in a set, pass the set as the parameter of the function “len()”.
Syntax:
In Python, the built-in function “len()” can be used to find the number of elements in a set, it is expressed as follows:
len(setname)
In the above syntax,
- • The function “len()” is used to find the number of elements in the argument that is passed as argument.
- • The “setname” is the set object to find the number of elements in it.

- Assignment 5A: Multiple Frequencies. In the last assignment, we calculated the frequency of a coin flip. This required us to have two separate variables, which we used to record the number of heads and tails. Now that we know about arrays, we can track the frequency of all numbers in a randomly generated sequence. For this program, you will ask the user to provide a range of values (from 1 to that number, inclusive) and how long of a number sequence you want to generate using that number range. You will then generate and save the sequence in an array. After that, you will count the number of times each number occurs in the sequence, and print the frequency of each number. Hints: You can use multiple arrays for this assignment. One array should hold the number sequence, and another could keep track of the frequencies of each number. Sample Output #1: What's the highest number you want to generate?: 5 How Long of a number sequence do you want to generate?: 10 Okay, we'll generate 10…arrow_forwardHow do you keep track of elements that contain data in a partially filled array?arrow_forwardflip_matrix(mat:list)->list You will be given a single parameter a 2D list (A list with lists within it) this will look like a 2D matrix when printed out, see examples below.
