Question

For Python for myprogramming lab. please use simple code

The elements of a tuple can be set to 0 recursively as follows:

• If the tuple has a length of zero, nothing should be done to it.
• Otherwise, set the first element of the tuple to 0, and then append it to the rest of the tuple.

Write a function named clearthat accepts one argument, a tuple of any length, and returns a tuple of the same length with every element set to 0.

Answer 1

def clearthat(tup):
#if it is null doing nothing
if not tup:
return ()
#recursion case
return( (0,) + clearthat(tup[1:]) )

tuple1 = (0, 1, 2, 3)
print("The array before set to all zero")
print(tuple1)
tuple1 = clearthat(tuple1)
print("The array after set to all zero")
print(tuple1)
