question:I need to implement a feature in my Python application where the system can convert a given integer into its corresponding Roman numeral representation. Can you guide me on how to achieve this? For instance, if the input is 1994, the output should be "MCMXCIV".
answer:def int_to_roman(num): Convert an integer to a Roman numeral. Parameters: num (int): The integer to be converted. Returns: str: The Roman numeral representation of the input integer. val = [ 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 ] syms = [ "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" ] roman_num = '' i = 0 while num > 0: for _ in range(num // val[i]): roman_num += syms[i] num -= val[i] i += 1 return roman_num
question:Can you help me with a Python script to calculate the factorial of a number? I want to understand the logic behind it and how to implement it in a simple program.
answer:def factorial(n): Returns the factorial of a given number n. The factorial of a non-negative integer n is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. If n is 0, the factorial is 1 by definition. if n < 0: raise ValueError("Factorial is not defined for negative numbers") result = 1 for i in range(2, n+1): result *= i return result
question:Write a Python function to determine if a given number is prime. The function should take an integer as input and return a boolean value indicating whether the number is prime or not. Additionally, provide a brief explanation of the algorithm used in the function.
answer:def is_prime(n): Determines if the given number n is prime. Args: n (int): The number to check for primality. Returns: bool: True if n is prime, False otherwise. Explanation: A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. The function starts by checking if n is less than 2, in which case it returns False. Then, it checks if n is 2 or 3, both of which are prime numbers. For other numbers, it checks divisibility by 2 and 3. If n is divisible by any of these, it returns False. Finally, it iterates through possible divisors starting from 5 up to the square root of n, checking if n is divisible by any of these potential divisors. If a divisor is found, the number is not prime. If no divisors are found, the number is prime. if n <= 1: return False if n <= 3: return True if n % 2 == 0 or n % 3 == 0: return False i = 5 while i * i <= n: if n % i == 0 or n % (i + 2) == 0: return False i += 6 return True
question:Create a Python function that takes a dictionary as input, where the keys are strings and the values are lists of integers. The function should return a new dictionary with the same keys, but the values should be the result of multiplying each element in the original lists by two. For example, if the input is `{'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6]}`, the output should be `{'a': [2, 4, 6], 'b': [8, 10, 12]}`. Ensure your code is well-documented, including a docstring for the function that explains its purpose, parameters, and return value.
answer:def multiply_by_two(input_dict): Takes a dictionary with string keys and list of integer values, and returns a new dictionary with the same keys, but with each integer in the list multiplied by two. Parameters: input_dict (dict): A dictionary where keys are strings and values are lists of integers. Returns: dict: A new dictionary with the keys and the values being lists of integers multiplied by two. return {key: [value * 2 for value in values] for key, values in input_dict.items()}
