Python Day 9 Assignment

Now that you know the basics of functions, let’s try some challenging function problems. These tasks will test your logic, return values, and use of multiple parameters.

Hint: Break the problem into smaller steps and use return carefully!

Assignment 01: Factorial Function

Create a function that calculates factorial of a number.

Objective:

Practice loops inside a function and returning results.

Instructions:

Write a function factorial(n) that returns the factorial of n.
For example: factorial(5) → 120.
Test the function with different values of n.

Assignment 02: Palindrome Checker

Write a function to check if a word is a palindrome.

Objective:

Use string operations inside functions.

Instructions:

Define a function is_palindrome(word).
The function should return True if the word is a palindrome, else False.
Example: is_palindrome("madam") → True.

Assignment 03: Calculator Function

Create a function that works like a simple calculator.

Objective:

Understand how to handle multiple parameters and conditions inside a function.

Instructions:

Write a function calculator(a, b, operator).
The operator can be +, -, *, /.
Return the result based on the operator.
Example: calculator(10, 5, "*") → 50.

If you need help

Ask for help if you are stuck on:

Using loops inside functions
