# 1. Create a function called mult that has two parameters, the first is required and should be an integer,
# the second is an optional parameter that can either be a number or a string but whose default is 6.
# The function should return the first parameter multiplied by the second.

def mult(a, b=6):
    return a * b
    
# 2. The following function, greeting, does not work. Please fix the code so that it runs without error.
# This only requires one change in the definition of the function.

def greeting(name, greeting="Hello ", excl="!"):
    return greeting + name + excl

print(greeting("Bob"))
print(greeting(""))
print(greeting("Bob", excl="!!!"))

# 3. Below is a function, sum, that does not work. Change the function definition so the code works.
# The function should still have a required parameter, intx, and an optional parameter, intz with a defualt value of 5.

def sum(intx, intz=5):
    return intz + intx
    
# 4. Write a function, test, that takes in three parameters: a required integer,
# an optional boolean whose default value is True, and an optional dictionary,
# called dict1, whose default value is {2:3, 4:5, 6:8}. If the boolean parameter is True,
# the function should test to see if the integer is a key in the dictionary.
# The value of that key should then be returned. If the boolean parameter is False, return the boolean value “False”.

def test(x, abool = True, dict1 = {2:3, 4:5, 6:8}):
    return abool and dict1.get(x, False)
    
# 5. Write a function called checkingIfIn that takes three parameters.
# The first is a required parameter, which should be a string.
# The second is an optional parameter called direction with a default value of True.
# The third is an optional parameter called d that has a default value of
# {'apple': 2, 'pear': 1, 'fruit': 19, 'orange': 5, 'banana': 3, 'grapes': 2, 'watermelon': 7}.
# Write the function checkingIfIn so that when the second parameter is True,
# it checks to see if the first parameter is a key in the third parameter;
# if it is, return True, otherwise return False.

# But if the second paramter is False, then the function should check to see if the first parameter is not a key of the third.'
# If it’s not, the function should return True in this case, and if it is, it should return False.

def checkingIfIn(a, direction = True, d = {'apple': 2, 'pear': 1, 'fruit': 19, 'orange': 5, 'banana': 3, 'grapes': 2, 'watermelon': 7}):
    if direction == True:
        if a in d:
            return True 
        else:
            return False
    else:
        if a not in d:
            return True
        else:
            return False
            
# 6. We have provided the function checkingIfIn such that if the first input parameter is in the third,
# dictionary, input parameter, then the function returns that value, and otherwise, it returns False.
# Follow the instructions in the active code window for specific variable assignmemts.

def checkingIfIn(a, direction = True, d = {'apple': 2, 'pear': 1, 'fruit': 19, 'orange': 5, 'banana': 3, 'grapes': 2, 'watermelon': 7}):
    if direction == True:
        if a in d:
            return d[a]
        else:
            return False
    else:
        if a not in d:
            return True
        else:
            return d[a]

# Call the function so that it returns False and assign that function call to the variable c_false
c_false = checkingIfIn('peas')
# Call the fucntion so that it returns True and assign it to the variable c_true
c_true = checkingIfIn('apples', False, {'carrots': 1, 'peas': 9, 'potatos': 8, 'corn': 32, 'beans': 1})
# Call the function so that the value of fruit is assigned to the variable fruit_ans
fruit_ans= checkingIfIn('fruit')
# Call the function using the first and third parameter so that the value 8 is assigned to the variable param_check
param_check = checkingIfIn('potatos', False, {'carrots': 1, 'peas': 9, 'potatos': 8, 'corn': 32, 'beans': 1})

Create a function named get_count that:

Has two parameters:

data_list: a list of numeric values.
update_count: an optional parameter with a default value of False.
If update_count is True, this function should set the global count variable to the count of the input list data_list.

Returns the number of items of the data_list parameter.
