USING PYTHON

Exercise 1: Dice probability distribution simulation

Function name:

sim_dice

Parameters:

None

Return:

A dictionary with six elements: keys are integers 1 to 6, values are corresponding number of occurrences.

Description:

You roll the dice 10,000 times. Each time you get one of six sides with a probability of 1/6. You need to generate the total number of occurrences for each side, store them in a dictionary as a returned value.

Hint:

1. This rolling is equal to choosing a number in [0,1), while dividing it into six sections: [0, 1/6), [1/6, 2/6), [2/6, 3/6), [3/6, 4/6), [4/6, 5/6), [5/6, 1)

2. You need to use random() to randomly generate a floating number between 0 and 1.

Exercise 2: Sentence comparison

Function name:

sent_compare

Parameters:

sentence 1, sentence 2

Return:

An integer: the number of common unique characters in two sentences

Description:

You receive two sentences as inputs from the keyboard and compare them. Your function should be able to output the number of common unique characters in two sentences. For example, sentence 1: "I like Python programming", sentence 2: "I like java", then the output is: 6.

(They are: i, l, k, e, a, and space.) It should be case insensitive. To convert a string 's' to a lowercase string, use s.lower().
