| ; 5. Function definition |
| |
| ; 6. Testing |
Submit your work using Handin as assignment lecture4.
Be sure to submit on time.
Submit early and submit often, any number of times until the deadline!
Important Note Whenever you write a function in this class, you need to follow
the design recipe.

If you can’t find the command, try right-clicking or two-finger-tapping or
long-pressing.
Exercise 2.
Turn all your function examples from comments into automatic tests.
Keep submitting your work any number of times until the deadline.
Be sure to submit on time.
Watch out for submitting to the wrong assignment.
Optional: Learn more about automatic testing.
2 Designing a function with 2 inputs
Exercise 3.
Design a function named
mftokm that converts a distance in miles and feet to a distance in kilometers. To simplify the arithmetic, assume that one mile is 1.6 kilometers, and one mile is exactly 5280 feet.
Hint: If you need to review how to write a template, you can watch this

4 The table method
Exercise 4.
Use the table method to design a function ctof that converts a temperature in
Celsius to a temperature in Fahrenheit.
Submit your table as a screenshot, a photo, or a comment.
Exercise 5.
Use the table method to design a function combine-digits that combines two digits
(each an integer between 0 and 9) into an integer between 0 and 99.
The first given digit should become the first digit of the output (in other words, tens).
The second given digit should become the second digit of the output (in other words, ones).
Submit your table as a screenshot, a photo, or a comment.
