Interact basics

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


In [12]:
def print_sum(a, b):
    """Print the sum of the arguments a and b."""
    return a+b

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 [15]:
interact(print_sum, a=(widgets.FloatSlider(min=-10.,max=10.,step=0.1,value=0)), b=(widgets.IntSlider(min=-8,max=8,step=2,value=0)));

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 [32]:
def print_string(s, length=False):
    """Print the string s and optionally its length."""
    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 [36]:
interact(print_string, s="Hello", length=False);


Hello
