Programming Assignment

Task 1: Academic Integrity reflection

For this task, you are to briefly discuss a scenario involving academic misconduct.

In order to access this assignment, you were asked to read about an Academic Integrity issue and answer related multiple-choice questions, Before continuing on to the main programming tasks, take a moment to reflect on this issue by answering the questions below. If you have forgotten the details of the scenario, refer back to the LIDS quiz as you answer this task.

Questions: Have any of loni, Rohan or Sarni engaged in academic misconduct? Explain. Have their choices led to them learning the subject material better? What could be the possible outcomes for loni, Rohan and Sami now? What could they have done differently?

An attempt has been made at writing a simple Python program which asks the user to input a value for x, and then prints the result of the following mathematical expression:

2+ (1 - x)³

However, as it is currently written the program is not performing the calculation correctly. If you inspect the code, you will notice that this is because the expression has been written without properly considering the operator precedence rules in Python.

Your task is to fix the program by adding a single pair of parentheses to the numerical expression so that it is evaluated in the same way as the mathematical expression described above.

Task 2: Implementing a formula

For this task you are to fix the code implementation of a mathematical formula.

An attempt has been made at writing a simple Python program which asks the user to input a value for x, and then prints the result of the following mathematical expression:

2 + (1 - x)³

[ ] x = float(input(`Enter a value for x # TODO: Insert parentheses in the fo y = 2 + (1 - x) ** 3 / 4

print(`y = + str(y))

Task 3: Currency conversion

For this task, you are to write a simple currency conversion program.

Your program should ask the user to input a dollar amount in AUD (Australian dollars). Next, your program should ask the user what currency to convert to (e.g., EUR). Finally, your program should look up the appropriate fixed conversion rate from a dictionary constant and display the result to the user.

Your program should ask the user to input a dollar amount in AUD (Australian dollars). Next, your program should ask the user what currency to convert to (e.g., EUR). Finally, your program should look up the appropriate fixed conversion rate from a dictionary constant and display the result to the user.

Your program must include support for the following currencies at the listed conversion rates:
- 1 AUD = 0.59 EUR
- 1 AUD = 0.64 USD
- 1 AUD = 0.87 CAD
- 1 AUD = 1.08 NZD
Additionally, your program must support two more currencies of your choice.

Task 4: Password checker
For this task, you are to write a function which checks that a password is valid.

The rules for a valid password are as follows:
- The password is at least 8 characters long.
- The password is no more than 20 characters long.
- The password contains at least one digit (0-9).
- The password does not contain any duplicate characters.

Your function should print an appropriate message for each condition that is failed, and return a Boolean result (True if the password is valid, False otherwise).

Task 5: Compression
For this task, you are to implement a simple compression algorithm.

The logic for this particular simple compression algorithm is shown in the flowchart attached:

The purpose of the algorithm is to represent text in a way that is more efficient for many repeated characters. See the examples for how this is expected to work.

Using the provided code as a starting point, complete the program so that the behaviour of Python code closely matches the logic of the flowchart.

• Works as expected for the examples and other inputs.

Task 6: YouTube videos

For this task, you are to write a class for representing YouTube videos.

Each YouTube video object should contain the title of the video (e.g., THANTS) as well as the URL of the video (e.g.,

You must also define a method called print_detalls which prints the title alongside the URL.

Task 7: Big "X"

For this task, you are to write a program that displays a big "X".

Imagine that you are working for a popular social media platform which has recently been acquired by a wealthy individual. The new owner has decided to pull you from working on core platform features so that you can instead work on branding. More specifically, you have been
asked to write a program which display a big "X".

Your program should first ask the user which character to draw the big "X" with. Next, it should ask for the size of the "X". Finally, it should display the "X" by displaying the appropriate characters as lines of output.

The above example shows an "X" of size 5 drawn using the character "#". Note that there are 5 lines, and each line is 5 characters wide. The "background" characters are simply spaces (i.e., the character you get when hitting the space bar).
You are guaranteed that the size of the "X" input by the user will be at least 3.

Hint: Consider using a nested loop in your solution. The outer loop repeats once per line, and the inner loop repeats once per character within the current line.

Resetting the Notebook Runtime
Due to the nature of notebooks, old variables, classes, and functions may still be accessible even after they have been removed from the code. This may result in unexpected program behaviour.

To ensure that this isn`t the case, you can reset the runtime to reset the Python interpreter state. After doing so, you should run your solutions again to ensure they function correctly.
