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."""
    print(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 [4]:

    
interact(print_sum, a=(-10.0,10.0,0.1), b=(-8,8,2))



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 [6]:

    
def print_string(s, length=False):
    """Print the string s and optionally its length."""
    print(s)
    if length:
        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 [7]:

    
interact(print_string, s='Hello World!', length=True);









    



Hello World!
12

assert True # leave this for grading the print_string exercise
