1,Secret VIP Numbers
A security system assigns special numbers to the first few VIP lockers. A number is considered a VIP number if it can be divided exactly by only 1 and itself. The security officer wants the numbers of the first 5 VIP lockers. Write a Python program to display those 5 numbers.
Expected Result: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11
def findPrime():
count = 0
num = 2
while count < 5:
isPrime = True
for i in range(2, num):
if num % i == 0:
isPrime = False
break
if isPrime:
print(num)
count += 1
num += 1
findPrime()
2,The Special Numbers
A teacher is preparing a Number Exhibition for students. She writes the numbers 1 to 20 on 20 cards. She wants to select only the special cards.
A card is special if its number can be divided exactly by only two numbers: 1 and the number itself.
The teacher asks the students:
“Check all the cards from 1 to 20 and display the numbers that are special.”
def findSpecialNumbers():
for num in range(1, 21):
count = 0
for i in range(1, num + 1):
if num % i == 0:
count += 1
if count == 2:
print(num)
findSpecialNumbers()
3,You have Rs. 100 /- One chocolate costs Rs. 5. Every time you buy a chocolate, you get one wrapper. You can exchange 3 wrappers for 1 additional chocolate. What is the maximum number of chocolates you can have with Rs. 100?
money = 100
cPrice = 5
wrapper_needed = 3
chocolateCount = money // cPrice
wrapper = chocolateCount
while wrapper >= wrapper_needed:
wrapper -= wrapper_needed
chocolateCount += 1
wrapper += 1
print(chocolateCount)
4,There is one person called Viyan. He is a Software Engineer. He employs a maid for cooking. One day, the maid prepared n number of chapathis and kept in a hot box. Viyan ate those chapathis and the count is as follows:

for i in range(3):
eaten = balance // 2
balance += eaten
print("Total chapathis:", balance)
using while loop
balance = 8
count = 0
while count < 3:
eaten = balance // 2
balance+= eaten
count+= 1
print("total", balance)
