Part 2 Programming Exercises - Functions

# function definition

def computeTheSquare(numberToSquare) :

return numberToSquare * numberToSquare

# a variable is assigned a value

givenNumber = 13

# the function is called

theResult = computeTheSquare(13)

# the result of the function call

print(givenNumber, "squared is", theResult)

For the following exercises, refer to the above function definition and the above function call given above.

(1) ( Functions )

Predict the result when the above code statements are executed.

(a) 196 (b) 1313 (c) 26 (d) 13 (e) 169

(2) ( Functions )

How many parameters does the function named computeTheSquare have?

(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3 (e) 4

For the following exercises, use this scenario and the given function definition:

In geometry, a pyramid is a form of a polyhedron. The volume of a right pyramid, whose base is a rectangle, is given as

V = ( 1 / 3 ) ( l w h )

where V is the volume of the pyramid

l is the base length

w is the base width

h is the pyramid height

A function that returns the volume of a right pyramid is shown below.

def volumeOfPyramid(baseLength, baseWidth, pyramidHeight) :

return baseLength * baseWidth * pyramidHeight * (1.0 / 3.0)
