Question

Write a function number_of_pennies() that returns the total number of pennies given a number of dollars and (optionally) a number of pennies. Ex: If you have $5.06 then the input is 5 6, and if you have $4.00 then the input is 4. Sample output with inputs: 5 6 4 506 400

Answer 1

Answer:

Code is given as:-

#number_of_pennies function with one default argument with pennies as 0 when no pennies parameter is given

def number_of_pennies(dollars,pennies = 0):

  pennies = dollars*100 + pennies #one dollar equals 100 pennies so calculate total pennies with this formula

  return pennies #return total pennies

print(number_of_pennies(int(input()),int(input()))) #both Dollars and pennies

print(number_of_pennies(int(input()))) #Dollars only

Explanation:

Here is the sample code and output.

Answer 2

Answer:

The function is as follows:

def number_of_pennies(dollars,pennies=0):

   return dollars*100+pennies

   

Explanation:

This defines the function

def number_of_pennies(dollars,pennies=0):

This returns the number of pennies

   return dollars*100+pennies

Note that, if the number of pennies is not passed to the function, the function takes it as 0
