CS10 Python Programming Homework 4 - Lists, Tuples

Cs10 Python Programming Homework 4 40 Points Lists, Tuples, Sets, and Files

Write list functions for items a to j that carry out the following tasks for a list of integers. a. Swap the first and last elements in the list. b. Shift all elements by one to the right and move the last element into the first position. For example, [1, 2, 3, 4] would be transformed into [4, 1, 2, 3]. c. Replace all even elements with 0. d. Replace each element except the first and last by the larger of its two neighbors. e. Remove the middle element if the list length is odd, or the middle two elements if the length is even. f. Move all even elements to the front, otherwise preserving the order of the elements. g. Return the second largest element in the list. h. Return true if the list is currently sorted in increasing order. i. Return true if the list contains two adjacent duplicate elements. j. Return true if the list contains duplicate elements (which need not be adjacent).

Paper For Above instruction

The following Python program implements functions a to j as specified, tested against a sample list. Each function manipulates or analyzes the list according to the instructions, and detailed output demonstrates their correctness.

Code Implementation:



ONE_TEN = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]


def swapFirstLast(lst: list[int]) -> None:


"""Swap the first and last elements of the list."""


if len(lst) > 1:


lst[0], lst[-1] = lst[-1], lst[0]


def shiftRight(lst: list[int]) -> None:


"""Shift all elements to the right by one, moving the last to the first."""


if len(lst) > 0:


last_element = lst.pop()


lst.insert(0, last_element)


def replaceEven(lst: list[int]) -> None:


"""Replace all even elements with zero."""


for i in range(len(lst)):


if lst[i] % 2 == 0:


lst[i] = 0


def replaceNeighbors(lst: list[int]) -> None:


"""Replace each element except first and last with larger of its neighbors."""


if len(lst) > 2:


temp = lst.copy()


for i in range(1, len(lst) - 1):


lst[i] = max(temp[i - 1], temp[i + 1])


def removeMiddle(lst: list[int]) -> None:


"""Remove middle element(s) based on odd or even length."""


length = len(lst)


if length == 0:


return


elif length % 2 == 1:


mid = length // 2


del lst[mid]


else:


mid1 = length // 2 - 1


mid2 = length // 2


del lst[mid2]


del lst[mid1]


def evenToFront(lst: list[int]) -> None:


"""Move all even elements to the front, preserving order."""


evens = [x for x in lst if x % 2 == 0]


odds = [x for x in lst if x % 2 != 0]


lst[:] = evens + odds


def secondLargest(lst: list[int]) -> int:


"""Return the second largest element."""


unique_vals = list(set(lst))


if len(unique_vals) 

return None


unique_vals.sort()


return unique_vals[-2]


def isIncreasing(lst: list[int]) -> bool:


"""Check if the list is in increasing order."""


return all(earlier 

def hasAdjacentDuplicate(lst: list[int]) -> bool:


"""Check if list contains adjacent duplicates."""


return any(lst[i] == lst[i + 1] for i in range(len(lst) - 1))


def hasDuplicate(lst: list[int]) -> bool:


"""Check if list contains any duplicates."""


return len(set(lst)) != len(lst)


def main():


print("The original data for all functions is:", ONE_TEN)


data = list(ONE_TEN)


swapFirstLast(data)


print("After swapping first and last:", data)


data = list(ONE_TEN)


shiftRight(data)


print("After shifting right:", data)


data = list(ONE_TEN)


replaceEven(data)


print("After replacing even elements:", data)


data = list(ONE_TEN)


replaceNeighbors(data)


print("After replacing with neighbors:", data)


data = list(ONE_TEN)


removeMiddle(data)


print("After removing the middle element(s):", data)


data = list(ONE_TEN)


evenToFront(data)


print("After moving even elements to front:", data)


print("The second largest value is:", secondLargest(ONE_TEN))


print("The list is in increasing order:", isIncreasing(ONE_TEN))


print("The list has adjacent duplicates:", hasAdjacentDuplicate(ONE_TEN))


print("The list has duplicates:", hasDuplicate(ONE_TEN))


if __name__ == "__main__":


main()

Expected Output:

The original data for all functions is: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]


After swapping first and last: [10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1]


After shifting right: [1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]


After replacing even elements: [1, 0, 3, 0, 5, 0, 7, 0, 9, 0]


After replacing with neighbors: [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10]


After removing the middle element(s): [1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10]


After moving even elements to front: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9]


The second largest value is: 9


The list is in increasing order: True


The list has adjacent duplicates: False


The list has duplicates: False
