Practice Using Functions
Let’s do Exercise 17 together as a class.
Functions for Strings
Right Justify Problem
Write a function named right_justify that takes a string as a parameter and prints the string with enough leading spaces so the last letter of the string is in column 70 of the display:
>>> right_justify("Odysseus")
>>> Odysseus
Hint: use string concatenation (+) and repetition (*). The built-in function len() will also be helpful.
Grid Problems
a) Write a function that draws a grid like the following:
+ - - - - + - - - - +
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+ - - - - + - - - - +
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+ - - - - + - - - - +
b) Write a function that draws a similar grid with four rows and columns.
c) Write a function that draws a similar grid for x rows and y columns.
