Interact basics

Write a print_sum function that prints the sum of its arguments a and b.


In [3]:
def print_sum(a, b):
    """Print the sum of the arguments a and b."""
    c=a+b
    print (c)#gives back the variable c

Use the interact function to interact with the print_sum function.

  • a should be a floating point slider over the interval [-10., 10.] with step sizes of 0.1
  • b should be an integer slider the interval [-8, 8] with step sizes of 2.

In [8]:
interact(print_sum,a=[-10,10,.1],b=[-8,8,2]);


-0.09999999999999945

In [9]:
assert True # leave this for grading the print_sum exercise

Write a function named print_string that prints a string and additionally prints the length of that string if a boolean parameter is True.


In [10]:
def print_string(s, length=False):
    """Print the string s and optionally its length."""
    if length==False:
        print (s)
    elif length==True:
        length=len(s)
        print(s,length)

Use the interact function to interact with the print_string function.

  • s should be a textbox with the initial value "Hello World!".
  • length should be a checkbox with an initial value of True.

In [11]:
interact(print_string,s="Hello World!",length=True);#makes it interactive and makes it so the string can change


Hello World! 12

In [12]:
assert True # leave this for grading the print_string exercise
