Question

A teacher wants a program to give extra points to students who fail a test. Write a Python program to do the following: (a) Ask the user to enter 5 test scores. Store the scores in a list. Display the list. (b) Copy all 5 test scores to another list. Use a loop to examine each test score in the new list. If the score is below 60, add 10 extra points to the score. Display the list. (c) Compare the old score and new score of each student. If the old score and new score are different, display the two scores.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi there! Please find the answer below.

Explanation:

The program below demonstrates how each of the requirements can be coded in a simple Python script. To copy the array, we can use the copy() method of the array. To calculate the diff, we can use a few different techniques, so I have implemented it using a loop over the arrays and just storing and displaying the difference in the 2 arrays.

new_string.py

def add_test_score(score):

 test_score.append(score);

contact_hash = {}

test_score = []

print("Enter 5 test scores: ");

for x in range(0, 5):

   input_string = input("Enter test score " + str(x + 1) + ": ")

   add_test_score(int(input_string));

print(test_score);

test_score_copy = test_score.copy();

for e in test_score_copy:

   if e < 60:

       test_score_copy[test_score_copy.index(e)] += 10;

diff = [];

for e in test_score:

   print(test_score[test_score.index(e)]);

   print(test_score_copy[test_score.index(e)]);

   if not test_score[test_score.index(e)] == test_score_copy[test_score.index(e)]:

       diff.append(e);

print(diff);
