1. (10 points) I Wonder What Python Would Display
For each of the expressions in the table below, write the output displayed by the interactive Python interpreter when the expression is evaluated. The output may have multiple lines. If an error occurs, write “Error”, but include all output displayed before the error. To display a function value, write “Function”. The first two rows have been provided as examples.
The interactive interpreter displays the value of a successfully evaluated expression, unless it is None. Assume that you have first started python3 and executed the statements on the left.

aaron, burr = 4, aaron + 1

Fill in the environment diagram that results from executing the code below until the entire program is finished, an error occurs, or all frames are filled. You may not need to use all of the spaces, frames, or function values.
A complete answer will:
• Add all missing names and parent annotations to all local frames. • Add all missing values created or referenced during execution.
• Show the return value for each local frame.

3. (3 points) Triangulate
It’s easy to see that in any triangle, each side must be shorter than the sum of the other two. Implement triangle, which takes three positive numbers, a, b, and c, and returns whether these three numbers could possibly be the lengths of the three sides of a triangle.
def triangle(a, b, c):
“””Return whether a, b, and c could be the legs of a triangle.
>>> triangle(3, 4, 5) True
>>> triangle(3, 4, 6) True
>>> triangle(6, 3, 4) True
>>> triangle(3, 6, 4) True
>>> triangle(9, 2, 2) False
>>> triangle(2, 4, 2) False

(a) (3 pt) Implement collapse, which takes a non-negative integer, and returns the result of removing all digits from it that duplicate the digit immediately to their right.
def collapse(n):
“””For non-negative N, the result of removing all digits that are equal to the digit on their right, so that no adjacent digits are the same.
>>> collapse(1234)
1234

(b) (6 pt) Implement find_pair, which takes a two-argument function, p, as input and returns another function. The returned function takes a non-negative integer n; it returns True if and only if p returns a true value when called on at least one pair of adjacent digits in n, and False otherwise.
def find_pair(p):
“””Given a two-argument function P, return a function that takes a non-negative integer and returns True if and only if two adjacent digits in that integer satisfy P (that is, cause P to return a true value).
>>> z = find_pair(lambda a, b: a == b) >>> z(1313)
False
>>> z(12334)
True
>>> z = find_pair(lambda a, b: a > b) >>> z(1234)
False
>>> z(123412)
True
>>> find_pair(lambda a, b: a <= b)(9753) False
>>> find_pair(lambda a, b: a == 1)(1) False

def find(n):
# Adjacent equal digits
# Only one digit; no pairs.

Name: 7 5. (10 points) Please Confirm
Definition. A confirming function for a sequence of digits, called a code, takes a single digit as its only argument. If the digit does not match the first (left-most) digit of the code to be confirmed, it returns False. If the digit does match, then the confirming function returns True if the code has only one digit, or another confirming function for the rest of the code if there are more digits to confirm.
(a) (5 pt) Implement confirmer so that when confirmer takes a positive integer code, it returns a confirming function for the digits of that code.
def confirmer(code):
“””Return a confirming function for CODE.
>>> confirmer(204)(2)(0)(4) # The digits of 204 are 2, then 0, then 4. True
>>> confirmer(204)(2)(0)(0) # The third digit of 204 is not 0.
False
>>> confirmer(204)(2)(1)
False
>>> confirmer(204)(20)
False
“””
def confirm1(d, t):
def result(digit):
if d == digit:
return t
else:
return False
return result
# The second digit of 204 is not 1. # The first digit of 204 is not 20.
def extend(prefix, rest):
“””Return a confirming function that returns REST when given the digits of PREFIX. For example, if c = extend(12, confirmer(34)), then c(1)(2) returns confirmer(34), so that c is a confirming function for 1234.”””

(b) (5 pt) Given a confirming function, one can find the code it confirms, one digit at a time. Implement decode,
which takes a confirming function f and returns the code that it confirms. def decode(f, y=0):
“””Return the code for a confirming function f.
>>> decode(confirmer(12001))
12001
>>> decode(confirmer(56789))
56789
