NPTEL Course a fun filled whirlwind tour of 30 hrs, covering everything you need to know to fall in love with the most sought after skill of the 21st century. The course brings programming to your desk with anecdotes, analogies and illustrious examples. Turning abstractions to insights and engineering to art, the course focuses primarily to inspire the learner’s mind to think logically and arrive at a solution programmatically. As part of the course, you will be learning how to practice and culture the art of programming with Python as a language. At the end of the course, we introduce some of the current advances in computing to motivate the enthusiastic learner to pursue further directions. The Joy of Computing using python is a fun filled course offered by NPTEL.

Programming Assignment 1
Question 1 : Accept two positive integers M and N as input. There are two cases to consider:
M = int(input())
N = int(input())
# Case 1: If M < N, then print M as output
if M>0 and N>0:
if M < N:
print(M,end="")
else:
# Case 2: If M >= N, subtract N from M until Mk < N
while M >= N:
M -= N
# Print the value of Mk as output
print(M,end="")
Programming Assignment 2
Question 2 : Accept three positive integers as input and check if they form the sides of a right triangle. Print YES if they form one, and NO if they do not. The input will have three lines, with one integer on each line. The output should be a single line containing one of these two strings: YES or NO.
# Accept three positive integers as input
a = int(input())
b = int(input())
c = int(input())
# Check if they form the sides of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem
if a**2 + b**2 == c**2 or b**2 + c**2 == a**2 or c**2 + a**2 == b**2:
print("YES", end="")
else:
print("NO", end="")
Programming Assignment 3
Question 3 : Accept a string as input. Your task is to determine if the input string is a valid password or not. For a string to be a valid password, it must satisfy all the conditions given below:
# Accept a string as input
password = input()
# Check if the string is a valid password
def is_valid_password(password):
# Condition 1: Check the length
if 8 <= len(password) <= 32:
# Condition 2: Check the first character is an uppercase or lowercase letter
if password[0].isalpha():
# Condition 3: Check for forbidden characters
forbidden_chars = {'/', '\\', '=', "'", '"'}
if not any(char in forbidden_chars for char in password):
# Condition 4: Check for spaces
if ' ' not in password:
return True
return False
# Output True if the string forms a valid password, and False otherwise
print(is_valid_password(password), end="")
