Write a Python function that takes a list of string as arguments.

When the function is called it should ask the user to make a selection from the options listed in the given list.

The it should get input from the user. Place " >" in front of user input.

if the user doesn't input one of the given choices, then the program should repeatedly ask the user to pick from the list.

Finally, the function should return the word the user selected.

Important Note:

DO NOT USE INPUT AND PRINT INSIDE THE FUNCTION AT ALL
MAKE THEM OUTSIDE THE FUNCTION PLEASE!

Example:

myList = myFunction(["yes","no","maybe"])

select one of the following please:

yes

maybe

# user input example

> could be

select one of the following please:

> perhaps

select one of the following please:

> yes

print(myList)

Please find the Python code for the following:

Code:

#Defined a function that takes a list of string as arguments.
def myFunction(stringList):

#When the function is called
#it should ask the user to make a selection from the options listed in the given list.
print("select one of the following please:")
for i in stringList:
print(i)

#We are creating a infinite while loop, till the user enters correct choice
while True:

#Input the string by placing " >" in front of user input.
inputString=input(">")

#If the inputString is not in the list
#Print the message and continue to while loop
if inputString not in stringList:
print("select one of the following please:")

#In the else part(user response is in the list)
#So, return the word the user selected.
else:
return inputString

myList = myFunction(["yes","no","maybe"])
print(myList)

Please check the compiled program and its output for your reference:

Output:

PYTHON Basic Feature[5pts] Write a function which takes two arguments—a string (str1) and a position index (n). The function will: 1.Remove the n-th characterof str1 (the initial character is the 0-th character) 2.Swap the order of the substring in front of the removed character and the substring afterwards, and concatenate them as a new string 3.Return the converted (str2) back to the function caller For example, myfunc(“abc1xyz”, 3) returns “xyzabc”.

C programming Write a function called string in() that takes two string pointers as arguments. If the second string is contained in the first string, have the function return the address at which the contained string begins. For instance, string in(“hats”, “at”) would return the address of the a in hats. Otherwise, have the function return the null pointer. Test the function in a complete program that uses a loop to provide input values for feeding to the function.

Python please Write a function that takes a string as an argument checks whether it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word that is the same spelt forwards or backwards. Use similar naming style e.g. name_pal. E.g. If we call the function as abc_pal(‘jason’) we should get FALSE and if we call it a abc_pal(‘pop’) we should get TRUE. Hint: define your function as abc_pal(str). This indicates that string will be passed. Next create two empty lists L1=[] and...

PYTHON: Write a function insertInOrder that takes in a list and a number. This function should assume that the list is already in ascending order. The function should insert the number into the correct position of the list so that the list stays in ascending order. It should modify the list, not build a new list. It does not need to return the list, because it is modifying it. Hint: Use a whlie loop and list methods lst = [1,3,5,7]...
