We’ve included 5 challenges below. Try to answer all of them and polish up your problem-solving skills and your function expertise.

1. Tenth Power


Write a function named tenth_power() that has one parameter named num.

The function should return num raised to the 10th power.


# Write your tenth_power function here:
def tenth_power(num):
  return num**10
# Uncomment these function calls to test your tenth_power function:
print(tenth_power(1))
# 1 to the 10th power is 1
print(tenth_power(0))
# 0 to the 10th power is 0
print(tenth_power(2))
# 2 to the 10th power is 1024


Write a function named square_root() that has one parameter named num.

Use exponents (**) to return the square root of num.

# Write your square_root function here:
def square_root(num):
  return num**0.5
# Uncomment these function calls to test your square_root function:
print(square_root(16))
# should print 4
print(square_root(100))
# should print 10


Create a function called win_percentage() that takes two parameters named wins and losses.

This function should return out the total percentage of games won by a team based on these two numbers.

# Write your win_percentage function here:
def win_percentage(wins, losses):
  total = wins + losses
  return (wins*100)/total
# Uncomment these function calls to test your win_percentage function:
print(win_percentage(5, 5))
# should print 50
print(win_percentage(10, 0))
# should print 100


Write a function named average() that has two parameters named num1 and num2.

The function should return the average of these two numbers.


# Write your average function here:
def average(num1, num2):
  return (num1 + num2)/2
# Uncomment these function calls to test your average function:
print(average(1, 100))
# The average of 1 and 100 is 50.5
print(average(1, -1))
# The average of 1 and -1 is 0


Write a function named remainder() that has two parameters named num1 and num2.

The function should return the remainder of twice num1 divided by half of num2.

# Write your remainder function here:
def remainder(num1, num2):
  return (num1*2)%(num2/2)
# Uncomment these function calls to test your remainder function:
print(remainder(15, 14))
# should print 2
print(remainder(9, 6))
# should print 0
