1. Assume the availability of a function is_prime. Assume a variable n has been associated with positive integer. Write the statements needed to find out how many prime numbers (starting with 2 and going in increasing order with successively higher primes [2,3,5,7,11,13,...]) can be added before exceeding n. Associate this number with the variable k.

2. [Functions >> functions and if statements] Write the definition of a function powerTo which recieves two parameters, a double and an integer. If the second parameter is positive, the function returns the value of the first parameter raised to the power of the second. Otherwise, the function returns 0.

3. Define a function called signOf that takes a parameter containing an integer value and returns a 1 if the parameter is positive, 0 if the parameter is 0, and -1 if the parameter is negative.

4. Define a function called min that takes two parameters containing integer values and returns the smaller integer of the two. If they have equal value, return either one.
