Interact basics

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


In [3]:
def print_sum(a, b):
    c = a + b
    print 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 [4]:
interact(print_sum, a = (-10., 10., 0.1), b = (-8, 8, 2))


-0.1
Out[4]:
<function __main__.print_sum>

In [5]:
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 [9]:
def print_string(s, length=False):
    print 's'
    if length == True:
        print len(s)

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 [10]:
interact(print_string, s = 'Hello World!', length = True)


s
12
