Resources
Directions
Create a file name "functionsPractice.py". In your file, complete the following exercises:
- compare(a, b)
- Define a compare(a, b) function that returns 1 if a > b, 0 if a == b, and -1 if a < b
- Test your compare function with 3 different function calls:
- compare(5, 4)
- compare(7, 7)
- compare(2, 3)
- hypotenuse(a, b)
- Define a hypotenuse(a, b) function that returns the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the lengths of legs a and b
- Test your hypotenuse function with the following function calls:
- hypotenuse(3, 4)
- hypotenuse(12, 5)
- hypotenuse(7, 24)
- f2c(t)
- Define a function named f2c(t) that converts the temperature parameter t from Fahrenheit to Celsius and returns it.
- If you don't remember the formula to convert, then look for it online!
- Create your own function calls that test the function
- c2f(t)
- Define a function named c2f(t) that converts the temperature parameter t from Celsius to Fahrenheit and returns it.
- If you don't remember the formula to convert, then look for it online!
- Create your own function calls that test the function
