Lab/ Practicals details, if applicable:

• Write a program to read two integers and find the sum, diff, mult and div.
• Write a program to find the simple interest for a given value P, T and R. The program must take the input from the user.
• Write a python program to generate first n Fibonacci number and factorial of n using functions
• Write a python program to count the number of Characters in a given string and hence to display the characters of string in reverse order.
• Write a python program to
To create two new files f1 and f2
To read and display the contents , count the number of lines and find the word whose count is more in f1 and f2 respectively.
To create and display the file f3 which is a combination of f1 and f2.
• Write a Python program to convert a list of characters into a string.
• Write a Python program to find the index of an item in a specified list.
• Write a Python program to get the frequency of the elements in a list.
• Write a Python program to convert a list of tuples into a dictionary
 • Write an Object-Oriented Python program to create two Time objects: current Time, which contains the current time; and bread Time, which contains
the amount of time it takes for a bread maker to make bread. Then we'll use add Time to figure out when the bread will be done. Write the print Time
function to display the time when the bread will be done by the bread maker.
