Question 1:

For basic operation using list, tuple and dictionaries

1.1

a. Finds the largest of a list of numbers.
Hint: Set up the list as the first line in your program.
Output: The largest number in the list is 26



In [9]:

    
#type your code here









    



The largest number in the list is 26

1.1

b. Find the average of a list of numbers using a for loop



In [1]:

    
runningTotal = 0
listOfNumbers = [4,7,9,1,8,6]

#type your code here

print(listOfNumbers)
print("The average of these numbers is {0:.2f}".format(average))









    



[4, 7, 9, 1, 8, 6]






    



---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-ae667733b08f> in <module>()
      5 
      6 print(listOfNumbers)
----> 7 print("The average of these numbers is {0:.2f}".format(average))

NameError: name 'average' is not defined

1.1

c. Write a program that prints string in reverse. Print character by character

Input: Python Expected Output: n o h t y P

Hint: can use range, len functions
P y t h o n 0 1 2 3 4 5 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1



In [2]:

    
word = "Python"
print(len(word))

#type your code here

1.2

Write a Python program to count the number of even and odd numbers from a series of numbers.
Hint: review of for loop, if statements



In [65]:

    
numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) # Declaring the tuple
count_odd = 0
count_even = 0

#type your code here

print("Number of even numbers :",count_even)
print("Number of odd numbers :",count_odd)









    



Number of even numbers : 4
Number of odd numbers : 5

1.3

Check if given list of strings have ECORI site motif and print value that doesn't contain the motif until two strings with the motif are found motif = "GAATTC" (5' for ECORI restriction site)

Output:
AGTGAACCGTCAGATCCGCTAGCGCGAATTC doesn't contain the motif GGAGACCGACACCCTCCTGCTATGGGTGCTGCTGCTC doesn't contain the motif TGGGTGCCCGGCAGCACCGGCGACGCACCGGTCGC doesn't contain the motif CACCATGGTGAGCAAGGGCGAGGAGAATAACATGGCC doesn't contain the motif Two strings in given list contain the motif



In [66]:

    
motif = "GAATTC"
count = 0
dna_strings = ['AGTGAACCGTCAGATCCGCTAGCGCGAATTC','GGAGACCGACACCCTCCTGCTATGGGTGCTGCTGCTC','TGGGTGCCCGGCAGCACCGGCGACGCACCGGTCGC',
               'CACCATGGTGAGCAAGGGCGAGGAGAATAACATGGCC','ATCATCAAGGAGTTCATGCGCTTCAAGAATTC','CATGGAGGGCTCCGTGAACGGCCACGAGTTCGAGA'
               ,'TCGAGGGCGAGGGCGAGGGCCGCCCCTACGAGGCCTT']
#type your code









    



AGTGAACCGTCAGATCCGCTAGCGCGAATTC : doesn't contain the motif
GGAGACCGACACCCTCCTGCTATGGGTGCTGCTGCTC : doesn't contain the motif

1.6

Write a script that splits a string into a list:

Save the string sapiens, erectus, neanderthalensis as a variable.
Print the string.
Split the string into individual words and print the result of the split. (Think about the ', '.)
Store the resulting list in a new variable.
Print the list.
Sort the list alphabetically and print (hint: lookup the function sorted()).
Sort the list by length of each string and print. (The shortest string should be first). Check out documentation of the key argument.`



In [77]:

    
#type your code









    



sapiens, erectus, neanderthalensis
