QUESTION #1

Give an example of a function you've used and the value (or type of value) it returns.

For example:

The function max() returns the largest value in a list of numbers or the first word alphabetically in a list of Strings.

QUESTION #2

Using one complete sentence, describe a problem in your life that could be solved or is solved by chaining together multiple tasks or functions.

For example:

When I do laundry, dirty clothes are input into the washing machine and clean (but wet) clothes are output. I then take those wet clothes, and they are input into the dryer. The dryer outputs dry clothes that are then input into the folding machine (AKA, me). Once folding is finished, the laundry is done. The final result is clean, folded clothes.

The code might look something like this:

l = dirty laundry

def dirtyLaundry(l):

w = wash(l)

d = dry(w)

f = fold(d)

return f

QUESTION #3

Trace the following code to determine the output:

def mysteryFunction(list): for i in range(len(list)-1,0,-1): for idx in range(i): if list[idx]>list[idx+1]: temp = list[idx] list[idx] = list[idx+1] list[idx+1] = temp list = [19,2,31,45,6,11,121,27] mysteryFunction(list) print(list)

QUESTION #4
