Exercises
1. Welcome
Write a program that prompts you for your name, and then welcomes you by the name. Use input.
Enter your name: Chuck Hello Chuck
2. ECTS and hours
Write a program that asks the user about the ECTS and the duration of the present course in weeks. The program has to output the hours per week outlined in this course. (1 ECTS is 26 hours)
3. Celsius and Fahrenheit
Write a program which prompts the user for a temperature in Celsius. The program has to convert the temperature into the Fahrenheit scale and print the computed value out.
4. Values and types
Assume that we execute the following assignment statements:
width = 17 height = 12.0
For each of the expressions below, write the value of the expression and the type (of the expression value).
- width/2
- width/2.0
- width//2
- width//2.0
- width%2
- height/3
- 1 + 2 * 5
Use the Python interpreter to check your answers.
5. Shoe size
Write a program that prompts the user for his name and actual foot size in cm. The program has to compute and output a suitable shoe size (use the following formula: shoe size = 1.5 * (foot length + 1.5)). Round the answer (you can use round for that, e.g. round(2.5) returns 3).
Enter your name: Marina Enter your foot size (cm): 23.5 Dear Marina, your suitable shoe size is 38.
