Create a file called hw11.py. The entire content of your homework should be in that file.

Copy the following code into your Python file, as seen and explained in the PowerPoint slides:

a = [3, 1, 6, 2, 4, 9, 0]
max = a[0]
for element in a:
   if element > max:
       max = element
print max

This is a piece of code that declares a list containing 7 values, finds the maximum of these values, and then prints it to the terminal. Convert the code except for the first instruction into a function called maxList that takes one parameter called a. The code needs to be indented accordingly.

Add a '__main__' section to this script just like you did in Lab 11. Place the first instruction above (declaring a and assigning it a list) in this section and change the name of the variable a. Change the print statement into a return of the value max. Add a function call to this function with the new name of the list as parameter and print the result.

Add another function called reverseList that reverses the elements of a list. This function will also take a parameter a that can be assumed to be a list. Get the size of the list from the expression len(a) and then store this length minus 1 in a variable called n. Then add a loop to this function with a control variable i that goes from 0 to n/2. For this you can either use a while loop or a for loop using a range, similar to the one in Lab 11. In the loop, swap the element a[i] with a[n-i] using some temporary variable as intermediate.

Going back to the main, add a call to this function using the same list as parameter, and then print the list after that. Note that you don't need a loop for it. Just using the list variable in the print statement will print out all the elements in a bracket syntax.

Make the script executable and test it from the terminal. Add an example of a test as a comment at the bottom of the script file.
