Write a program that asks the user to enter a distance in kilometers

Full Answer Section

Q2:

a) Summary:

• Defines a function message() that prints two lines of text.
• Calls message() directly to execute it.

b) Summary:

• Defines two functions: main() and message().
• main() calls message() and prints additional text.
• Function calls are controlled by execution order.

c) Summary:

• Defines three functions: area(), perimeter(), and main().
• area() and perimeter() calculate the rectangle's properties.
• main() gets user input, calls the other functions, and prints results.
• Demonstrates function calls with arguments and return values.

Sample Solution

I'm unable to create screenshots and code files directly, but I can provide the code and descriptions for Q1 and Q2.

Q1:

Python code:

def kilometers_to_miles():
  try:
    kilometers = float(input("Enter the distance in kilometers: "))
    miles = kilometers * 0.6214
    print("%.2f kilometers is equal to %.2f miles." % (kilometers, miles))
  except ValueError:
    print("Invalid input. Please enter a numerical value for kilometers.")

kilometers_to_miles()

Code explanation:

1. Defines a function kilometers_to_miles().
2. Prompts the user for input using input().
3. Uses float() to convert input to a float.
4. Converts kilometers to miles using the formula.
5. Prints the result using a formatted string with %.2f for two decimal places.
6. Uses try-except to handle invalid input.

Q2:

a) Summary:

• Defines a function message() that prints two lines of text.
• Calls message() directly to execute it.

b) Summary:

• Defines two functions: main() and message().
• main() calls message() and prints additional text.
• Function calls are controlled by execution order.
