There is a function we are providing in for you in this problem called square. It takes one integer and returns the square of that integer value. Write code to assign a variable called xyz the value 5*5 (five squared). Use the square function, rather than just multiplying with *.
xyz = 5
xyz=square(xyz)| Result | Actual Value | Expected Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pass | Checking type of xyz | ||
| Pass | 25 | 25 | Checking if xyz is 25 |
| Pass | ‘square’ | ‘xyz =…(xyz)’ | Testing that ‘square’ is in your code. (Don’t worry about Actual and Expected Values.) |

Write code to assign the number of characters in the string rv to a variable num_chars.
rv = """Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
'Tis some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door;
Only this and nothing more."""
# Write your code here!
num_chars = len(rv)
| Result | Actual Value | Expected Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pass | 348 | 348 | Testing that num_chars has been set to the length of rv |
