def is_decreasing(words):
    for i in range(0, len(words) - 1):
        if len(words[i]) < len(words[i + 1]):
            return False
    return True


print(is_decreasing(['aaa', 'aa', 'a', '']))
print(is_decreasing(['', 'a', 'aa', 'aaa']))

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 This part involves creating a function that will manage a List of unique strings. The function is passed a string and a list as arguments. It passes a list back. The function to add a word to a List if word does not exist in the List. If the word does exist in the List, the function does nothing. Create a test program that takes a string as input and then calls the function over and over until the...

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]...

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...

In Python, write a function one_bit_NOT that takes one argument, a character that is either '0' or '1'. It should perform the NOT operation and return a string with a single character as the result. I.e., if the character argument is "0", it returns a "1"'. If the character argument is "1", it returns a "0".

Design and implement a program in python that takes a list of items along with quantities or weights. The program should include at least two function definition that is called within the main part of your program. Each item has a price associated by quantity or weight. The user enters the item along with the quantity or weight and the program prints out a table for each item along with the quantity/weight and total price. Your program should be able...

In Python, Q. Write a function max_increase(seq) which takes as argument a sequence of numbers and returns the maximum increase from one element in the sequence to an element at a higher index. Assumptions and restrictions: The function must return a number. If there is no increasing pair in the sequence, the function should return 0. This may happen for example if the sequence is decreasing, or if it contains fewer than 2 elements. You can assume that the argument...

(Python) a) Using the the code below write a function that takes the list xs as input, divides it into nss = ns/nrs chunks (where nrs is an integer input parameter), computes the mean and standard deviation s (square root of the variance) of the numbers in each chunk and saves them in two lists of length nss and return these upon finishing. Hint: list slicing capabilities can be useful in implementing this function. from random import random as rnd...
