Question

Python

1. Create a function called creditsPerQuarter. It will receive parameters: student, numCreds, numCourses. You will pass in a students name, the number of credits each course they are taking is and the number of courses they are taking. Within the function, you will calculate the total number of credits that student has that quarter. You will RETURN the following string: (student name) is taking (number of courses) courses and each course is (number of credits each course is) for a total of (calculated total credits). For example: If the student is Bob and he is taking 4 courses with 3 credit each it would read exactly:
   "Bob is taking 4 courses and each course is 3 credits for a total of 12."

You will call creditsPerQuarter three times and pass in these arguments:

• Student Name: Wade, Credit per Course: 3, Number of courses: 4
• Student Name: Jane, Credit per Course: 3, Number of courses: 5
• Student Name: Evan, Credit per Course: 5, Number of courses: 3

Your output should look like this exactly:

Wade is taking 4 courses and each course is 3 credits for a total of 12.
Jane is taking 5 courses and each course is 3 credits for a total of 15.
Evan is taking 3 courses and each course is 5 credits for a total of 15.

Answer 1

#definition of function creditsPerQuater
def creditsPerQuater(student,numCreds,numCourses):
#calculating totalCredits
totalCredits = numCourses * numCreds;
#store the entire message into the str1 variable
#Here str is used to convert type int to type string
str1 = str(student)+" is taking "+str(numCourses)+" courses and each course is "+str(numCreds)+" credits for a total of "+str(totalCredits)
#return str1 to called function
return str1

i=0
#Repeat the loop 3 times
while i<3:
#Reads Student name
student = input("Enter the name: ")
#Reads number of credits.
#input - returns the input as string.So we have to convert to int
numCreds = int(input("Enter number of credits in each course: "))
#Reads number of courses
numCourses = int(input("Enter number of courses: "))
#Prints the message
print("Student Name:",student,",Credit per Course:",numCreds,",Number of courses:",numCourses);
#Calling the function creditsPerQuater and store the return value in str1 variable
str1 = creditsPerQuater(student,numCreds,numCourses)
i= i+1
#Prints the string in str1
print(str1)
