question:Write a python function to process a list of medical research papers and identify which papers are related to lupus. The input will be a list of dictionaries where each dictionary represents a paper with a 'title' and 'abstract' as keys. The function should return a list of titles of papers that mention the word "lupus" in either the title or the abstract. The comparison should be case-insensitive. Input:- A list of dictionaries, each with the keys 'title' and 'abstract'.Output:- A list of strings, where each string is the title of a paper that contains the word "lupus" in either the title or the abstract.Example:```pythonpapers = [ {"title": "Advances in Autoimmune Diseases", "abstract": "This paper discusses various autoimmune diseases including lupus and arthritis."}, {"title": "Understanding Diabetes", "abstract": "An in-depth look at diabetes management."}, {"title": "Lupus: Symptoms and Treatments", "abstract": "Exploring the symptoms and treatment options for lupus."}]# The function should return:["Advances in Autoimmune Diseases", "Lupus: Symptoms and Treatments"]```

answer:Okay, I need to write a Python function that processes a list of medical research papers and identifies which ones are related to lupus. The function should return the titles of papers that mention "lupus" in either the title or the abstract, and the comparison should be case-insensitive.Let me think about how to approach this. So, the input is a list of dictionaries, each with 'title' and 'abstract' keys. For each paper in this list, I need to check both the title and the abstract for the word "lupus", regardless of the case.Hmm, so the steps are: loop through each paper in the list. For each paper, check if 'lupus' is present in the title or the abstract. If it is, add the title to the result list.Wait, but how to perform the case-insensitive check. Oh right, I can convert both the title and abstract to lowercase and then check if 'lupus' is a substring.So for each paper, I'll do something like:paper['title'].lower().find('lupus') != -1 or paper['abstract'].lower().find('lupus') != -1.Alternatively, I can use the 'in' keyword after lowercasing. Like, if 'lupus' is in the lowercased title or abstract.Yes, that makes sense. So for each paper, I'll take the title and abstract, make them lowercase, and check if 'lupus' is present in either.So the function will initialize an empty list to collect the titles. Then loop through each paper in the input list. For each, check the condition, and if true, append the title to the result list.Let me think about possible edge cases. What if the word is part of another word, like 'lupuses'? Well, according to the problem statement, it's to mention the word 'lupus', so I think any occurrence, even as part of another word, counts. So 'lupus' in 'lupuses' would still be a match.Another case: what if the title is empty or the abstract is empty? Well, the problem says each dictionary has 'title' and 'abstract' as keys, but perhaps they can be empty strings. So in that case, the function should still handle it without errors.So the function can be written as follows:Define a function, let's say, find_lupus_papers(papers). It will take the list of papers as input.Initialize an empty list, result = [].Loop through each paper in papers: title = paper['title'] abstract = paper['abstract'] if 'lupus' in title.lower() or 'lupus' in abstract.lower(): append title to result.Return the result.Wait, but in the example given, the first paper's title is "Advances in Autoimmune Diseases" and the abstract mentions 'lupus', so it's included. The third paper's title is "Lupus: Symptoms and Treatments" and the abstract also mentions it, so it's included.Yes, that's correct.So the code would look like this:def find_lupus_papers(papers): result = [] for paper in papers: title = paper['title'] abstract = paper['abstract'] if 'lupus' in title.lower() or 'lupus' in abstract.lower(): result.append(title) return resultWait, but in the example, the output is ["Advances in Autoimmune Diseases", "Lupus: Symptoms and Treatments"], which matches what this code would produce.What about case variations, like 'LupUs' or 'LUPUS'? The code converts everything to lowercase, so it should handle that.Testing another case: a paper where the title is 'Lupus' but the abstract doesn't mention it. It should be included. Similarly, a paper where the title doesn't mention it but the abstract does.Yes, the code handles that.I think this should work. So the function is straightforward.

question:Write a python function to encrypt a message using a simple Caesar cipher technique. The function should take in two parameters: a string `message` and an integer `shift`. The `message` represents the text that needs to be encrypted, and the `shift` indicates how many positions each letter in the message should be shifted down the alphabet. The function should return the encrypted message as a string. Ensure that the function preserves the case of each letter and leaves non-alphabetic characters unchanged. For example, with a shift of 3, 'A' would become 'D', 'b' would become 'e', and 'Hello, World!' would become 'Khoor, Zruog!'.Input:- `message`: a string containing the message to be encrypted.- `shift`: an integer representing the number of positions to shift each letter.Output:- A string representing the encrypted message.Example:```pythonencrypt_message("Hello, World!", 3) # Output: "Khoor, Zruog!"```Please ensure that the function handles both uppercase and lowercase letters correctly and that non-letter characters remain unchanged.

answer:Okay, I need to write a Python function called encrypt_message that takes a message string and a shift integer, and returns the encrypted message using a Caesar cipher. Hmm, Caesar cipher shifts each letter by a certain number of positions in the alphabet. So, for example, with a shift of 3, A becomes D, B becomes E, and so on. But I have to handle both uppercase and lowercase letters, and leave non-alphabetic characters as they are.Let me think about how to approach this. So, for each character in the message, I need to check if it's a letter. If it is, I shift it by the shift value. But I have to make sure that after shifting, it wraps around if it goes past Z or z. Oh right, because if it's 'Z' and shifted by 1, it becomes 'A'. Similarly for lowercase.Wait, how do I handle the shifting? Well, for each letter, I can get its Unicode code point using ord(). Then, I can shift it, but I have to make sure it wraps around within the 26 letters.Let me break it down. For a given character, say 'A' which is ord('A') = 65. If I shift by 3, it becomes 65 +3 = 68, which is 'D'. That's easy. But what about 'Y' shifted by 3? 'Y' is 89, plus 3 is 92, which is beyond 'Z' (90). So I need to wrap around. So the formula would be something like (current_ord - base + shift) % 26 + base. Oh right, because for uppercase letters, the base is 65, and for lowercase, it's 97.So, for each character in the message:1. Check if it's a letter.2. If it's uppercase: a. Find its position relative to 'A' (current_ord - 65) b. Add the shift, mod 26 to wrap around. c. Add 65 to get the new character.3. If it's lowercase: a. Similar steps, but with base 97.4. If it's not a letter, leave it as is.So, the steps in code would be:Loop through each character in the message string.For each character:- Check if it's uppercase: c.isupper()- If yes, process it as uppercase.- Else, check if it's lowercase: c.islower()- If yes, process it as lowercase.- Else, leave it unchanged.So, let's think about the processing function. For a given character c and shift s:def shift_char(c, s): if c.isupper(): base = ord('A') elif c.islower(): base = ord('a') else: return c # Now calculate the new character offset = ord(c) - base new_offset = (offset + s) % 26 return chr(base + new_offset)Wait, but what if the shift is negative? Oh, the problem says shift is an integer, but in the example, it's positive. So perhaps the function should handle any integer shift, including negatives, which would shift letters backward. But the problem statement says shift is an integer, so I think it's okay.Wait, but in the problem statement, the shift is given as an integer, but in the example, it's 3. So perhaps the function should handle any shift, positive or negative.So, for example, if the shift is -3, then 'D' becomes 'A', 'a' becomes 'x', etc.So, the code for shifting would handle that because modulo 26 takes care of wrapping around regardless of the shift direction.So, putting it all together, the function would process each character, apply the shift if it's a letter, else leave it.So, the function encrypt_message would look like this:def encrypt_message(message, shift): encrypted = [] for c in message: if c.isupper(): base = ord('A') elif c.islower(): base = ord('a') else: encrypted.append(c) continue # Now process the character offset = ord(c) - base new_offset = (offset + shift) % 26 encrypted_char = chr(base + new_offset) encrypted.append(encrypted_char) return ''.join(encrypted)Wait, but what about when the shift is larger than 26? Like shift 27 is equivalent to shift 1. So the modulo 26 takes care of that.Testing the example: "Hello, World!" with shift 3.Let's see:H -> K (72 +3 =75)e -> h (101 +3=104)l -> o (108+3=111)l -> oo -> r (111+3=114), remains as isspace remainsW becomes Z (87+3=90)o becomes rr becomes ul becomes od becomes g! remains.So the output should be "Khoor, Zruog!" which matches the example.Another test case: shift of 26, which should leave the message unchanged.What about a shift of 27? Same as shift 1.What about a shift of -3? Then 'D' becomes 'A', 'e' becomes 'b', etc.Wait, but what about non-letters, like numbers or symbols? They should remain unchanged.So, the function should correctly handle all these cases.I think this should work. So the code is as above.

question:Write a python function to determine the winner of a boxing match based on the scores from three judges. Each judge's score is given as a tuple of two numbers, representing points for the two fighters (e.g., (fighter1_points, fighter2_points)). The function should take a list of these tuples as input, calculate the total score for each fighter across all judges, and return the name of the winning fighter. If the total score is a draw, return "Draw".Input:- A list of tuples, where each tuple contains two integers representing the scores from a judge. For example: [(10, 9), (9, 10), (10, 10)].Output:- A string, either "Fighter 1", "Fighter 2", or "Draw", based on the total scores.Example:```python# Example Inputscores = [(10, 9), (9, 10), (10, 10)]# Example Output"Draw"```Note: Assume that each judge's score is valid and there are always three judges.

answer:Okay, I need to write a Python function to determine the winner of a boxing match based on scores from three judges. Hmm, let's think about how to approach this.So, the input is a list of tuples. Each tuple has two integers, representing the points for fighter 1 and fighter 2 from that judge. For example, [(10,9), (9,10), (10,10)].The function needs to calculate the total score for each fighter across all judges. Then compare the totals. If fighter 1 has a higher total, return "Fighter 1". If fighter 2 has higher, return "Fighter 2". If equal, return "Draw".So, first, I need to initialize two variables to keep track of the totals for each fighter. Let's say fighter1_total and fighter2_total, both starting at 0.Then, loop through each tuple in the input list. For each tuple, add the first element to fighter1_total and the second to fighter2_total.Once all tuples are processed, compare the totals.Wait, what if the totals are the same? Then it's a draw.So, the steps are:1. Initialize totals to 0.2. Iterate over each judge's score tuple.3. For each tuple, add the first value to fighter1's total, second to fighter2's.4. After all judges, compare the totals.5. Return the appropriate string based on comparison.Let me think about the example given.Example Input: [(10,9), (9,10), (10,10)]Calculating totals:Fighter1: 10 +9 +10 = 29Fighter2:9 +10 +10=29So, it's a draw. Output is "Draw".Another example: if scores are [(10,8), (10,8), (10,8)], then fighter1 has 30, fighter2 24. So return "Fighter 1".What about if one tuple has higher for fighter2? Like [(8,10), (8,10), (8,10)] gives fighter1 24, fighter2 30. So return "Fighter 2".So, the logic is straightforward.Now, coding this.Function steps:- Define function, say, determine_winner(scores).- Initialize fighter1_total and fighter2_total to 0.- Loop through each score in scores: fighter1_total += score[0] fighter2_total += score[1]- Compare the totals.- If fighter1_total > fighter2_total: return "Fighter 1"- Else if fighter2_total > fighter1_total: return "Fighter 2"- Else: return "Draw"Wait, but what if the totals are equal? Like in the example, it's a draw.So, that's the plan.Now, implement this.Wait, in Python, the function would look like:def determine_winner(scores): fighter1 = 0 fighter2 = 0 for score in scores: fighter1 += score[0] fighter2 += score[1] if fighter1 > fighter2: return "Fighter 1" elif fighter2 > fighter1: return "Fighter 2" else: return "Draw"Yes, that should do it.Testing the example:scores = [(10,9), (9,10), (10,10)]sum for fighter1: 10+9+10=29sum for fighter2:9+10+10=29so return "Draw".Another test case: scores = [(10, 8), (10,8), (10,8)]sum1=30, sum2=24 → "Fighter 1".Another test case: scores = [(8,10), (8,10), (8,10)] → sum1=24, sum2=30 → "Fighter 2".What about if the totals are the same but not all judges agree? Like [(10,10), (9,9), (8,8)] → sum1=27, sum2=27 → "Draw".Yes, the code should handle that.I think that's all. So the function should work as expected.

question:Write a python function to simulate the decomposition of organic matter over time, where the rate of decomposition decreases exponentially. The function should take three inputs: the initial mass of the organic matter (a float), the rate constant of decomposition (a float), and the time period over which decomposition occurs (an integer). The function should return the remaining mass of the organic matter after the given time period. Use the exponential decay formula: [ text{remaining mass} = text{initial mass} times e^{(-text{rate constant} times text{time})} ]Assume the use of the `math` library for the exponential function. Example: If the initial mass is 100.0 grams, the rate constant is 0.1, and the time period is 5 units, the function should return approximately 60.65 grams.

answer:Okay, I need to write a Python function that simulates the decomposition of organic matter over time. The function should take three inputs: initial mass, rate constant, and time period. It should return the remaining mass after that time.Hmm, the formula given is remaining mass equals initial mass multiplied by e raised to the negative rate constant times time. So, I remember that in Python, I can use the math module's exp function for e to the power of something.Wait, right, so the formula is initial_mass * e^(-rate_constant * time). So I'll need to import math and use math.exp.Let me think about the steps. First, I'll define the function with three parameters: initial_mass, rate_constant, time. Then, calculate the exponent part: rate_constant multiplied by time, then negative. Then compute e to that power. Multiply by initial_mass to get the remaining mass.Oh, and the function should return this value. Also, the example given: initial 100, rate 0.1, time 5. Let's see: 0.1 *5 is 0.5, so e^-0.5 is about 0.6065, multiplied by 100 gives 60.65, which matches the example.So the function should handle floating points correctly. I should make sure that all calculations are done with floats, but since the inputs are given as floats and integers, Python should handle that automatically.Wait, the time is an integer, but when multiplied by a float rate, it becomes a float. So no issues there.So putting it all together: import math, define the function, compute the exponent, compute the remaining mass, return it.Let me outline the code:Import math.def decompose(initial_mass, rate_constant, time): exponent = -rate_constant * time remaining = initial_mass * math.exp(exponent) return remainingWait, but what about the return type? The function should return a float, which it will since initial_mass is a float and math.exp returns a float.Testing the example: initial_mass=100.0, rate=0.1, time=5. So 0.1*5=0.5, exp(-0.5) is about 0.6065, 100 * 0.6065 is 60.65. So the function should return that.I think that's all. So the code should be straightforward.

question:Write a python function to count the number of times a specific word appears in a text file stored on a server. The function should take two inputs: the file path as a string and the target word as a string. The function should return an integer representing the number of occurrences of the target word in the file. Assume that the server infrastructure allows you to access the file using standard Python file operations.Input:1. `file_path`: A string representing the path to the file on the server.2. `target_word`: A string representing the word to count in the file.Output:- An integer representing the number of times the `target_word` appears in the file.Example:If the file contains the text "hello world hello universe" and the `target_word` is "hello", the function should return 2.

answer:Okay, I need to write a Python function that counts how many times a specific word appears in a text file on a server. Hmm, the function takes two inputs: the file path and the target word. It should return an integer count.First, I should think about how to open the file. Oh right, in Python, I can use the open() function with the file path. But wait, what if the file is not found? Oh, the problem says to assume that the server allows access, so maybe I don't need to handle exceptions here.So, the steps are: open the file, read its contents, count the occurrences of the target word.Wait, how do I count the word occurrences? Maybe split the text into words and then count each occurrence. But I should be careful about case sensitivity. Oh, the problem doesn't specify if it's case-sensitive. Looking back at the example: the target is "hello" and the text is "hello world hello universe" which gives 2. So the function probably is case-sensitive. So I don't need to handle case insensitivity unless specified.So, the plan is:1. Open the file in read mode.2. Read the entire content into a string.3. Split the string into words. But wait, how? Using split() will split on whitespace, which is probably correct.4. Iterate through each word and count how many times it equals the target_word.5. Return the count.Wait, but what about punctuation? Like, if the word is followed by a comma or period. For example, "hello," would not be counted as "hello". So the function as per the problem statement is counting exact matches of the target word as a standalone word. So, the example given uses "hello" and the text has "hello" twice, so it's correct.So, the steps in code:- Open the file using a with statement to ensure it's properly closed.- Read the file content using read().- Split into words using split().- Initialize a counter to 0.- Loop through each word in the list, increment counter if word equals target_word.- Return the counter.Wait, but what if the file is large? Reading the entire content into memory might not be efficient. But for the problem's scope, perhaps it's acceptable.So, let's write the code.Function definition: def count_word_in_file(file_path, target_word):Inside the function:Initialize count to 0.With open(file_path, 'r') as file: content = file.read() words = content.split() for word in words: if word == target_word: count +=1Return count.Wait, but wait: what if the target_word is an empty string? Well, the problem says it's a string, but perhaps the function should handle that. But the problem examples don't cover that, so maybe we can assume target_word is a non-empty string.Testing the example: file contains "hello world hello universe", target is "hello". So the split gives ["hello", "world", "hello", "universe"], so count is 2. Correct.Another test case: target_word is "world", count is 1.What about case sensitivity? If the file has "Hello" and target is "hello", it won't count. So the function is case-sensitive.What about multiple spaces between words? The split() method handles that by treating any whitespace as a separator, so it's fine.What about leading or trailing whitespace? The split() method ignores leading and trailing whitespace, so that's handled.What about other whitespace characters like tabs or newlines? The split() method splits on any whitespace, so it's okay.So the code should work.Wait, but what if the file is very large? Reading the entire content into memory could be a problem. But for the problem's constraints, perhaps it's acceptable. Alternatively, we could read line by line and process each word, but for simplicity, the current approach is easier.So, putting it all together:def count_word_in_file(file_path, target_word): count = 0 with open(file_path, 'r') as file: content = file.read() words = content.split() for word in words: if word == target_word: count +=1 return countYes, that should do it.

question:Write a python function to help me figure out whether my old buddy, the comedian, is trying to pull a fast one on me with his latest joke. The function should take a list of strings as input, where each string represents a word in his joke. The function should return a new list of strings, where each word is reversed, to see if his punchline still makes sense when read backward. You know how he loves his palindromes!Input:- A list of strings, with each string representing a word in the joke.Output:- A list of strings, where each string is the reversed version of the corresponding input word.Example:```pythonjoke_words = ["Why", "did", "the", "chicken", "cross", "the", "road"]# Expected output: ['yhW', 'did', 'eht', 'nekcihc', 'ssorc', 'eht', 'daor']```I can't wait to see if his jokes work both ways or if he's just winging it!

answer:Okay, I need to write a Python function that takes a list of strings and returns a new list where each word is reversed. Hmm, let's think about how to approach this.So, the input is a list like ["Why", "did", "the", ...], and the output should be each word reversed. For example, "Why" becomes "yhW", "did" stays the same because it's a palindrome, and so on.First, I should loop through each word in the input list. For each word, I need to reverse it. How do I reverse a string in Python? Oh right, I can slice it with [::-1]. So word[::-1] gives the reversed string.So the plan is: create a new list, iterate over each word in the input list, reverse each word, and append it to the new list.Let me think about the steps:1. Define the function, let's call it reverse_words, which takes one parameter: a list of strings.2. Initialize an empty list to store the reversed words.3. Loop through each word in the input list: a. Reverse the word using slicing. b. Add the reversed word to the new list.4. Return the new list.Wait, what about empty strings? Well, the problem says each string represents a word, so I guess each is non-empty. But the code should handle empty strings gracefully, but I don't think it's a concern here.Testing the example: joke_words = ["Why", "did", "the", "chicken", "cross", "the", "road"]Reversing each:"Why" -> "yW" (Wait, no, "Why" is 'W','h','y', reversed is 'y','h','W' which is 'yhW'. Yes, that's correct."did" is a palindrome, so it remains "did"."the" becomes "eht"."chicken" becomes "nekcihc"."cross" becomes "ssorc"."the" again is "eht"."road" becomes "daor".So the expected output is as given.Now, writing the code.The function could be something like:def reverse_words(words): reversed_list = [] for word in words: reversed_word = word[::-1] reversed_list.append(reversed_word) return reversed_listAlternatively, I can use a list comprehension to make it concise.Like:def reverse_words(words): return [word[::-1] for word in words]Yes, that's much cleaner.Testing this with the example should give the correct output.I think that's all. So the function is straightforward.
