Core Python Programming (2nd Edition)

Why do we get 134L and not 1342 in the example below?
>>> 56l + 78l
134L
5-10. Conversion. Create a pair of functions to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius temperature
values. C = (F - 32) * (5 / 9 ) should help you get started. We recommend you try
true division with this exercise, otherwise take whatever steps are necessary to ensure
accurate results.
5-11. Modulus.
a.
b.
c.
d.
Using loops and numeric operators, output all even numbers from 0 to 20.
Same as part (a), but output all odd numbers up to 20.
From parts (a) and (b), what is an easy way to tell the difference between
even and odd numbers?
Using part (c), write some code to determine if one number divides another. In
your solution, ask the user for both numbers and have your function answer
"yes" or "no" as to whether one number divides another by returning TRue or
False, respectively.
5-12. Limits. Determine the largest and smallest ints, floats, and complex numbers that your
system can handle.
5-13. Conversion. Write a function that will take a time period measured in hours and
minutes and return the total time in minutes only.
5-14. Bank Account Interest. Create a function to take an interest percentage rate for a
bank account, say, a Certificate of Deposit (CD). Calculate and return the Annual
Percentage Yield (APY) if the account balance was compounded daily.
5-15. GCD and LCM. Determine the greatest common divisor and least common multiple of
a pair of integers.
