Introduction to Programming with Python
So these 46 should be your aim through the entire semester, how about trying to do the first five for this week’s quiz?
You can find the exercises at http://www.ling.gu.se/~lager/python_exercises.html
I would recommend putting each of your solutions in your GitHub account in a repository dedicated to this challenge.
For this quiz I want you to (in class) create a program with two functions:
You implement these function in your own program in a file quiz4.py
You should make a main routine that asks the user for three numbers and then calls your functions to which should *RETURN* the value and you print in the main part of your program.
Publish your code on your own blog today (during class time is best) and use the tag #Quiz04 so it shows up nicely in our tag cloud.
For this quiz I want you to (in class) create a program with two functions:

You should make a main routine that asks the user for a number and then calls your functions to calculate the square and cube roots of that number and prints them out.
What should you do if the user enters a negative number?

Our quizzes in week two were done using Socrative and Kahoot!
You may want to make note of how you did in that quiz and all future quizzes to self-evaluate that part of our grading system for the course.

Write a program that asks for a range of integers and then prints the sum of the numbers in that range (inclusive).
You can use a formula to calculate this of course but what we want you to do here is practice using a loop to do repetitive work.
For example, the sum from 6 to 10 would be 0 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10.
Notice our sum starts with zero (why?) and then we add each number in the range provided by the user. Just for fun, what is the mathematical formula to do this calculation?
We will calculate the sum of integers in the range you provide.
Please give us the lower bound: 1
Please give us the upper bound: 10
The sum from 1 to 10 (inclusive) is: 55
How would you change your program to handle the user giving you the upper and lower bound in the wrong order? Or perhaps some other “user input error”?
As usual, create a blog post explaining what you did, where you found resources (books, videos, web pages, friends) to help you solve this. Remember to put the tag #WSQ04 on your post so our blog hub picks that up.
You should include your code either inline in the blog post (best option) and/or a link to your actual code on Dropbox/Google Drive/GitHub.
You may want to check how to get started on GitHub now, here is a good article to start with: http://readwrite.com/2013/09/30/understanding-github-a-journey-for-beginners-part-1
And of course, leave any questions here as well as asking those questions on Twitter with the hashtag #TC1014 and #WSQ04 so we all see your question posted there.
Write a program that picks a random integer in the range of 1 to 100.
There are different ways to make that happen, you choose which one works best for you.
It then prompts the user for a guess of the value, with hints of ’too high’ or ’too low’ from the program.
The program continues to run until the user guesses the integer. You could do something extra here including telling there user how many guesses they had to make to get the right answer.
You might want to check that your program doesn’t always use the same random number is chosen and you should also split your problem solving into parts. Perhaps only generate the random number and print that as a first step.
Write a program that will prompt the user for a temperature in Fahrenheit and then convert it to Celsius. You may recall that the formula is C = 5 ∗ (F − 32)/9.
Modify the program to state whether or not water would boil at the temperature given. Your output might look like the following
What is the temperature in Fahrenheit? 100
A temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit is 37 in Celsius
Water does not boil at this temperature (under typical conditions).
As usual, create a blog post explaining what you did, where you found resources (books, videos, web pages, friends) to help you solve this. Remember to put the tag #WSQ02 on your post so our blog hub picks that up.
You should include your code either inline in the blog post (best option) and/or a link to your actual code on Dropbox/Google Drive/GitHub.
And of course, leave any questions here as well as asking those questions on Twitter with the hashtag #TC1014 so we all see your question posted there.

Ask the user for two integer values, then use those two values to calculate and show the following:
