Python

Define two functions in an IDLE Editor window:

get floats(): This function will take a single integer argument which is the number of floats to be obtained from the user. It will create an empty list, use a for-loop to prompt and obtain floats from the user, append each float to the list it created, and return the list.

main(): This function will take no arguments. It will prompt the user for the number of floats s/he wants to enter, and it will call get floats() with the integer value entered by the user. A list will be returned to main() which will then print the results. The output for both functions is shown below.

Enter the number of list elements: 3

Enter float 1: 25.1

Enter float 2: 19.3

Enter float 3: 47.8

[25.1, 19.3, 47.8]

Enter the number of elements: 4

Enter float 1: 2

Enter float 2: 4

Enter float 3: 8

Enter float 4: 10

[2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 10.0]

Dont forget to include a call to main(). Hints: Dont forget to convert your input as appropriate. A simple one-argument range() function can be used as the iterable in the for-loop header.
