  1. [Weight = 8] We consider two functions of computing n! and , where n is a non-negative integer. Their code is given below.

 

def factorial(n):

# Input: n, a non-negative integer

# Output: return n!

  if n == 0:

     return 1

  else:

     result = 1

     for i in range(1,n+1):

       result = result * i

     return result

 def addFactorial(n):

# Input: n, a non-negative integer

# Output: 0!+1!+…,+n!

    sum = 0

    for i in range(n+1):

      sum += factorial(i)

    return sum

 

In this question we would like to measure the time complexity of these two functions. We use the number of multiplications as the measure for the time complexity.

 

  1. [Weight = 3] Modify the two functions above, so that each will return the result and the number of multiplications required for computing the result. Moreover, include an iterative print() statement to print out the results as below.

 

 

  1. [Weight = 1] What is the number of multiplications required for invoking addFactorial(n)? Include your answer in the .py
  2. [Weight = 3] Propose another implementation of addFactorial(n) that will require much less number of multiplications. Moreover, include an iterative print() statement to print out the results as below for the original addFactorial(n) and the improved addFactorial(n) you have implemented.
  3. [Weight=1] What is the number of multiplications required for invoking the improved addFactorial(n)? Include your answer in the .py

 

 

 

 

 

  1. [Weight = 8] In this question you will use the matplotlib, which is a Python 2-D plotting library, to plot the stock price (the closing column) and the up periods of Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL). Download the csv file for the stock price from yahoo.com. The period is 11/13/2017-11/12/2018 daily. Name the csv file by “GOOGL.csv”.

 

  1. [Weight = 3] Write a Python program that uses matplotlib to plot the data in GOOGL.csv. The expected output is given below. The x-axis starts with day 1.

 

 

 

You could reference to the code below (source: https://pythonprogramming.net/loading-file-data-matplotlib-tutorial/).

 

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import csv

 

x = []

y = []

 

with open(‘example.txt’,’r’) as csvfile:

    plots = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=’,’)

    for row in plots:

        x.append(int(row[0]))

        y.append(int(row[1]))

 

plt.plot(x,y, label=’Loaded from file!’)

plt.xlabel(‘x’)

plt.ylabel(‘y’)

plt.title(‘Interesting Graph\nCheck it out’)

plt.legend()

plt.show()

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. [Weight = 5] Implement a function that accepts a csv file of a stock’s price and plots the stock prices and the up periods on the same graph like the one below. You may refer to https://matplotlib.org/gallery/api/two_scales.html for making plots with different scales.

 

Function stockUp(priceFile)

   (The function will plot the prices and the up periods against

    the days in the same graph with different scales.)

   Input: priceFile is the name of a csv file that contains the

   prices of a stock.

   Output: None

 

Include the statement below in your .py file. GOOGL.csv is the same as the one in part (a).

 

stockUp(“GOOGL.csv”)

 

The expected output is given below. The x-axis starts with day 1.
