Out of curiosity, how would you reverse a string's case in Python? Make uppercase characters lowercase and lowercase characters uppercase. Here's the function for the naive implementation. [CODE] #!/usr/bin/env python def flip_case(input_string): temp_list = list(input_string) for index, character in enumerate(temp_list): if character.islower(): temp_list[index] = character.upper() else: temp_list[index] = character.lower() output_string … | |

1) Write a function called divisors that takes two natural numbers m and n, and returns a List object containing all natural numbers (starting from m, and going down to 2) by which n is divisible. For example: divisors(6, 6) should return a List object equivalent to List(6, List(3, List(2, … | |
I can't seem to figure out how to make a program that asks for a Start input, End input, and an amount that the program counts by. My request might not be so clear so here's an example: Start at: 1 End at: 20 Count by: 3 1 4 7 … | |
