The Joy of Computing using Python Programming Assignment
Question 1
The distance between two letters in the English alphabet is one more than the number of letters between them. Alternatively, it can be defined as the number of steps needed to move from the alphabetically smaller letter to the larger letter. This is always a non-negative integer. For example:
The distance between two words is defined as follows:
It is -1, if the words are f unequal lengths.
If the word-lengths are equal, it is the sum of the distances between letters at corresponding positions in the words. For example:
dword(dog,cat)=dletter(d,c)+dletter(o,a)+dletter(g,t)=1+14+13=28
Write a function named distance that accepts two words as arguments and returns the distance between them.
You do not have to accept input from the user or print output to the console. You just have to write the function definition.
Solution:
def distance(word1, word2):
if len(word1) != len(word2):
return(-1)
dis = 0
for i in range(len(word1)):
dis += abs(ord(word1[i]) - ord(word2[i]))

P is a dictionary of father-son relationships that has the following structure: for any key in the dictionary, its corresponding value is the father of key.
Solution:
def ancestry(P, present, past):
if present == past:
return([present])
if present not in P:
return(None)
ancestral_chains = ancestry(P, P[present], past)

Question 3
Fibonacci is a young resident of the Italian city of Pisa. He spends a lot of time visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa, one of the iconic buildings in the city, that is situated close to his home. During all his visits to the tower, he plays a strange game while climbing the marble steps of the tower.
You do not have to accept input from the user or print output to the console. You just have to write the function definition.
Solution:
def steps(n):
if n <= 0:
return 0
elif n == 1:
return 1
elif n == 2:
return 2
elif n == 3:

Question 1
Aman likes to study about planets. Every night he goes outside and observe some planets with his telescope. Then he guesses the distance of each planet and pen it down. In this process he also pen down his favourite planet position. Given the distance of each planet to be unique you need to return position of Aman’s favourite planet after sorting all the distances.
Input:
N (No of planets)
L (List of distances of planet)
K (position of Aman’s favourite planet in unsorted list)
Output:
Position of Aman’s favourite planet in sorted List.
Example:
Input
5
[4,5,3,2,1]
2
Output
5
Explanation:
The position of aman’s favourite planet in unsorted list is 2 and list of distances of planets at position 2 the distance is 5. After sorting the list [1,2,3,4,5] the position of aman’s favourite is changed to 5.
Note: Index is different from position. Indexing of the list starts from 0 whereas positioning in the list start form 1.
Solution:
print(sorted(L).index(L[K-1])+1+0,end="")These are the Joy of Computing using Python Assignment 6 Answers
Question 2
Romeo and Juliet love each other. Romeo wants to send a message to Juliet and also don’t want anyone to read it without his permission. So he shifted every small letter in the sentence by -2 position and every capital letter by -3 position. (If the letter is c, after shifting to by -2 position it changes to a, and for D new letter will be A).
But the letter is too long and Romeo does not have enough time to encrypt his whole letter. Write a program to help Romeo which prints the encrypted message. You can assume there are no special characters except spaces and numeric value.
Input
A string S
Output
Encrypted string
Example
Input
Hello Juliet
Output
Ecjjm Gsjgcr
Explanation
H is shifted by -3 position and changed to E. ‘e’ is shifted by -2 position and changed to c and so on.
Solution:
Cap1=list("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVMWXYZ")
Small=list('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
ans=""
for a in S:
if a=='a':
ans+='y'
elif a=='b':
ans+='z'
elif a=='A':

elif a=='C':
ans+='Z'
elif a=='W':
