Coding Questions You may not use any concepts (including built-in functions) which we have not covered in Modules 1 – 11. You can find all material allowed in this exam at the end of these instructions. Other restrictions apply per function.  Use of coding standards and language syntax, type annotations, code clarity, and logic of the solution are part of the grade. You do not need to include main or a docstring, but you do need to include type annotations in the function definition. You should identify tasks that address a specific part of the problem and implement them as helper functions Coding questions are graded for correct syntax, proper use of coding standards, and design, (Use the space bar, not the Tab key to provide indentation) Quiz #3 Notes Data types intfloatstrboollisttuple Type Casting type(value) returns the data type of value>>> type(5) Arithmetic Operators i + j -> The sumi – j -> The differencei * j -> The producti / j -> Divisioni ** j -> i to the power of ji // j -> the quotient when i is divided by ji % j -> the remainder when i is divided by j   Relational Operators x > y      Is x greater than y?x < y      Is x less than y?x >= y     Is x greater than or equal to y?x >> len(‘hello’)5>>> len([1, 8, 2, 8])4 y in x: Returns True if y is in sequence x; False otherwise (works on strings and lists)>>> 2 in [1, 8, 2, 8]True>>> “r” in “Penn State”False   A-Z: ASCII values = 65 -> 90a-z: ASCII values = 97 -> 122ord(char): Returns an integer with the code for char>>> ord(“A”)65chr(code): Returns the character with the given code>>> chr(65)’A’   abs(value): Returns the magnitude of the given value>>> abs(5.6)5.6>>> abs(-9)9   Slicing Syntax sequence[start : end], end is exclusive   List Operations and Methods x.append(y): Adds y at the end of list x>>> lst = [1, 8, 2, 8]>>> lst.append(‘hi’)>>> lst[1, 8, 2, 8, ‘hi’] k * x: Returns the list x repeated k times>>> 3 * [0][0, 0, 0] x + y: Returns a new list that contains all elements in both lists>>> [1,2,3] + [2,3,4][1,2,3,2,3,4] pop and del remove the element at position i.>>> lst = [1, 8, 2, 8]>>> lst.pop(1)8>>> del lst[0]>>> lst.pop()  # Removes the last element8>>> lst[2]   String Operations and Methods k * x: Returns the string x repeated k times>>> 3 * ‘hello”hellohellohello’ x + y: Returns a new string that contains all elements in both strings>>> ‘hello’ + ‘world”helloworld’ Formatted string literals>>> v1=’Sam’>>> v2= 5>>> f'{v1} has {v2} coins”Sam has 5 coins’ ”.join(sequence): Takes all items in an sequence of strings and joins them into one string:>>> ‘-‘.join([‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’])’1-2-3′ split(separator): breaks down a string into a list of substrings using a chosen separator>>> s = “hello,here,there”>>> s.split(“,”)[‘hello’, ‘here’, ‘there’]>>> s = “hello here there”>>> s.split()[‘hello’, ‘here’, ‘there’] strip(): removes any leading, and trailing whitespaces.>>> s = ”   hello    there    “>>> s.strip()’hello    there’   Dictionary Methods and Operators x[y] = z: Adds key y with value z to the dictionary x[y]: Returns the value with key y in dictionary if exists, raises a KeyError if y is not in dictionary>>> d = {‘x’: 4, 8: ‘c’}>>> d[‘x’]4>>> d[‘w’]KeyError: ‘w’x.get(y): Returns the value with key y in dictionary if exists, returns None if y is not in dictionary>>> d = {‘x’: 4, 8: ‘c’}>>> d.get(‘x’)4>>> d.get(‘w’)pop and del remove the pair with given key>>> d = {‘x’: 4, ‘8’: ‘c’}>>> d.pop(‘x’)4>>> del d[‘8′] Files open(filename,’r’): Open a file for reading. open(filename,’w’): Open a file for writing. open(filename,’a’): Open a file for appending. open(filename,’x’): Creates a file called filename, returns an error if the file existsfilevariable.close(): File use is complete.filevariable.read(): Reads and returns the entire file as a single string.filevariable.readline(): Returns the next line of the file with all text up to and including the newline character.filevariable.readlines(): Returns a list of strings, each representing a single line of the file. filevariable.write(a_string): Add a_string to the end of the file.

What demyelinating central nervous system pathology can affect the vestibular pathways and eye movements and result in signs and symptoms of dizziness?

A person presents to urgent care with spontaneous onset of vertigo that began 24-hours ago and is constant. The patient has no other red flag/neurological signs beyond vertigo and nystagmus. Which of the following findings on the HINTS+ exam is concerning for CENTRAL pathology?

A patient reports brief episodes of dizziness that last for a few seconds (5-10) and occur when they get out of bed and when they stand up from a sitting position. Symptoms are described as light headed or “seeing spots”. They have a history of mild congestive heart failure and were recently increased from 40 milligrams to 80 milligrams of furosemide (Lasix) daily. Symptoms are worse after they take their morning dose of medication. What test and measure is MOST recommended based on this scenario?

Refer to Figure 11.  Imagine how the dancers moved from position #1 to position #2.    Identify ONE JOINT for the upper limbs that has moved or ‘changed’ from #1 to #2 (be specific – left vs right!): [a] What is the name for this movement? [b] What muscle is responsible for this movement? [c]   Identify ONE JOINT for the lower limbs that has moved or ‘changed’ from #1 to #2 (be specific – left vs right!): [d] What is the name for this movement? [e] What muscle is responsible for this movement? [f]

Refer to Figure 11. The dancers numbered 1 through 5 have adopted various poses.  Consider Dancer #3. Is this dancer in anatomic position? If yes, explain how you know this is anatomic position. If no, identify what joints and body parts are not in the correct position for anatomic position.
