Assignment

Part 1. Solving programming problems Define a function max() that takes two numbers as arguments and returns the largest of them. Use the if-then-else construct available in Python. Write a function that takes a character (i.e. a string of length 1) and returns True if it is a vowel, False otherwise. Write a program that maps a list of words into a list of integers representing the lengths of the corresponding words. "99 Bottles of Beer" is a traditional song in the United States and Canada. It is popular to sing on long trips, as it has a very repetitive format which is easy to memorize, and can take a long time to sing. The song's simple lyrics are as follows: 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall. The same verse is repeated, each time with one fewer bottle. The song is completed when the singer or singers reach zero. Your task here is write a Python program capable of generating all the verses of the song. Write a version of a palindrome recogniser that accepts a file name from the user, reads each line, and prints the line to the screen if it is a palindrome. Part 2. Writing a report Your report should include: Title page with your name, student ID Introduction, outlining Problem statement Techniques, used to address the problem The structure of the report Sections for each tasks, including Task description Screenshots Summary of the process of problem solving Conclusion If you use external sources, such as literature about programming, all the sources must be referred properly in “References” section, according to UoB standards, (see the link [login to view URL] ) Word count of the report must be between 750-1000 words ±10%, excluding the title page and bibliography
