Assignment 4 2018 Simple Functions and Looping Task or estimated I. The progam will ask the rr The functionwl Assignment 4 2018 Simple Functions and Looping Here is one approach you couild take Upload 5. Sample results: starting with 100 Streptococcus lactis for 90 minutes 90min 26min-3.5generations (will use 3 for number of generations) . After the first generation b 100 x21 200 .After the second generation b 100 x 22 400 After the third generation b 100 x 23 -800 Remember that you don't have to build the whole program before testing it - in fact you should not. Here is one approach you could take: Build the shell of the function-test by making a call to it . o Add a loop that just loops the expected number of times (put a print statement inside it so you can see if it is working) Add the math-test it o .Now add the code to have the user input the required data Your program must be neat, well formatted, and readable (see the style guide on iLearn). Remember you can lose up to 30% for poor style. Don't forget comments that identify the programmer, the program, and the date the program was written.

NOTE

#######

As the programming language is not specified,it is assumed that language is python as int() function is to be used .

OUTPUT
########

Enter generation time: 26 Enter starting count of bacteria: 100 Enter total time to reproduce: 90 After generation-1, b-200 After generation-2, b - 400 After generation-3, b - 800 TOTAL BACTERIA: 800
