Problem 1

  • Two airplanes are in a race, your job is to make a plane name list, append the name value to the participents then make a variable that pulls the distance covered for each plane. in the end, in the curly brackets print the name of the plane, add more variables with curly brackets.
# Define a list of airplane race participants
participants = [
    {"name": "Billium Bang", "plane": "Red Rocket", "distance_covered": 1200},
    {"name": "Bushawn Bal", "plane": "The Biggest Bird", "distance_covered": 1500}
]

# Calculate the total distance covered by each pilot during the race
for participant in participants:
    #your code here
    name = participant["name"]
    plane = participant["plane"]
    distance_covered = participant["distance_covered"]

    print(f"{name} in the {plane} covered a distance of {distance_covered}")

# Determine the winner
winner = max(participants, key=lambda x: x["distance_covered"])
print(f"The winner of the airplane race is {winner['name']} in the '{winner['plane']}' with a distance of {winner['distance_covered']} miles!")

Billium Bang in the Red Rocket covered a distance of 1200
Bushawn Bal in the The Biggest Bird covered a distance of 1500
The winner of the airplane race is Bushawn Bal in the 'The Biggest Bird' with a distance of 1500 miles!

Problem 2

  • Add more participants , in the loop, add a tricks variable that gets data from participants list score = tricks * 10 # Each trick is worth 10 points add a score and add it to a score in the list ex list[score] = score
# Define a list of dog show participants
participants = [
    {"name": "Fido", "breed": "Golden Retriever", "tricks": 4},
    # Add more dog participants here
    {"name": "Bob", "breed": "Corgi", "tricks": 2},
    {"name": "Tom", "breed": "Great Dane", "tricks": 7},
]

# Calculate the scores for each dog based on the number of tricks they can perform
for participant in participants:
    #your code here
    tricks = participant["tricks"]

    score = tricks * 10  # Each trick is worth 10 points
    #your code here
    participant["score"] = score

# Determine the winning dog
winner = max(participants, key=lambda x: x["score"])

# Display the dog show results
print("Dog Show Results:")
for participant in participants:
    print(f"{participant['name']} scored {participant['score']} points")

print(f"The winner of the dog show is {winner['name']}!")
Dog Show Results:
Fido scored 40 points
Bob scored 20 points
Tom scored 70 points
The winner of the dog show is Tom!

this problem, were making a bank account, you just have to know what to do to add all of the functions to change the variables

# Define a class representing a Bank Account
class BankAccount:
    def __init__(self, account_holder, balance=0):
        self.account_holder = account_holder
        self.balance = balance

    def deposit(self, amount):
        if amount > 0:
            #your code
            self.balance += amount
            print(f"Deposited ${amount}. New balance: ${self.balance}")
        else:
            print("Invalid deposit amount.")

    def withdraw(self, amount):
        if 0 < amount <= self.balance:
            # your code
            self.balance -= amount
            print (f"Withdrew ${amount}. New balance: ${self.balance}")
        else:
            print(f"Invalid withdraw amount.")
                
    def get_balance(self):
        return self.balance

    def __str__(self):
        return f"Account holder: {self.account_holder}. Balance: ${self.balance}."


# Create two bank accounts Alex with 1000$ initially, and Noah with 5$ initially:
alexAccount = BankAccount("Alex", 1000)
noahAccount = BankAccount("Noah", 5)

# Perform some transactions, withdraw all money of Alex , and give it all to Noah. now that noah has a lot of money, he goes on a spending spree, he must withdraw all of his money
# EX!!!! account1.deposit(500)
#
#your code !
alexAccount.withdraw(1000)
noahAccount.deposit(1000)
noahAccount.withdraw(1005)
#
#  Display account information

print("Alex Account", alexAccount)
print("Noah Account", noahAccount)

Withdrew $1000. New balance: $0
Deposited $1000. New balance: $1005
Withdrew $1005. New balance: $0
Alex Account Account holder: Alex. Balance: $0.
Noah Account Account holder: Noah. Balance: $0.

add more regions

import random

# Define a list of regions, each represented as a dictionary
regions = [

    },
]

# Define weights for each economic indicator
weights = {
    "GDP_growth": 0.4,
    "unemployment_rate": -0.2,
    "investment_score": 0.3,
    "education_index": 0.1,
    "infrastructure_quality": 0.2
}

# Function to calculate a score for each region based on economic indicators and weights
def calculate_score(region):
    score = 0
    for indicator, weight in weights.items():
        score += region[indicator] * weight
    return score

# Find the region with the highest economic growth potential
best_region = max(regions, key=calculate_score)

# Display information about the winning region
print(f"The region with the highest economic growth potential is {best_region['name']}:")
print(f"- GDP Growth Rate: {best_region['GDP_growth']:.2f}%")
print(f"- Unemployment Rate: {best_region['unemployment_rate']:.2f}%")

print(f"- Education Index: {best_region['education_index']:.2f}")
print(f"- Infrastructure Quality: {best_region['infrastructure_quality']:.2f}")

The region with the highest economic growth potential is Region A:
- GDP Growth Rate: 0.72%
- Unemployment Rate: 6.70%
- Investment Score: 69.27
- Education Index: 0.60
- Infrastructure Quality: 4.93

problem final

  • make an empty list and dictionary
  • add data in all of the given simple loops, so that this problem runs its print functions without error
  • this one is hard, try very hard, a heartfelt atempt, like all of the code done with minor issues is still full credit

try to understand this problem, it has lots of data abstractions

data is given on the bottem and a function is calling it IMPORTANT!!!

def simulate_data_structure(data):
    # Dictionary to store city data must be blank
    city_data = {}
     # List to store city statistics also blank
    city_stats = []

    for person in data:
        name = person["name"]
        age = person["age"]
        city = person["city"]

        # 1. Create a dictionary of city data
        if city not in city_data:
            city_data[city] = {"names": [], "total_age": 0, "total_people": 0} # reduces err

        city_data[city]["names"].append(name)# Add the name to the city's list
        city_data[city]["total_age"] += age # Add the age to the city's total age hint , use +=
        city_data[city]["total_people"] += 1 # Increment the total people count hint , use +=


    for city, city_info in city_data.items():
        # 2. Calculate the average age for each city
        average_age = city_info["total_age"] / city_info["total_people"]
        city_info["average_age"] = round(average_age, 2)  # Round to 2 decimal places

        # 3. Create a dictionary for city statistics
        city_stats.append({"city": city, "total_age": city_info["total_age"], "total_people": city_info["total_people"], "average_age": city_info["average_age"]})#your code after the dot, what happens here, how do u apend a dictionary???

    # Add the city statistics under the "Statistics" key
    city_data["Statistics"] = city_stats

    return city_data
