Exercises
1. Welcome
Write a program that prompts you for your name, and then welcomes you by name. Use input.
Example of the program output:
Enter your name: Chuck Hello Chuck
2. ECTS and hours
Write a program that asks the student about the ECTS and the duration of the present course in weeks. The program outputs the hours per week outlined in this course. (1 ECTS is 26 hours)
Example of the program output:
Enter ECTS: 3 Enter weeks: 9 Hours per week - 8.666666666666666
3. Celsius and Fahrenheit
Write a program which prompts the user for the temperature in Celsius. The program must convert the temperature into the Fahrenheit scale and print it out.
Example of the program output:
Enter Celcius: 36.6 Fahrenheit: 97.88000000000001
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/17
- 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/her name and actual foot length in cm. The program must 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) will give 3).
Enter your name: Marina Enter your foot length (cm): 23.5 Dear Marina, your suitable shoe size is 38
