Python: How would I write a function that takes a directory and a size in bytes, and returns a list of files in the directory or below that are larger than the size.

For example, I can use this function to look for files larger than 1 Meg below my Home directory.

CODE:

from os import listdir

from os.path import isfile, join

from os import stat

def getLargeFiles(dirPath, data_size):

#collecting the names of those that are only files

onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(dirPath) if isfile(join(dirPath, f))]

for file in onlyfiles:

stats = stat(file)

#you can remove this line

print(stats.st_size)

#removing the files that are less in data_size

if stats.st_size <= data_size:

onlyfiles.remove(file)

return onlyfiles

#i have 2 files : 1file 660 bytes and another 597 bytes

print(getLargeFiles("/home/amrit/Projects/Semester/",650))

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]...

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...
