I guess you are using python version 2.7.X python 2.7.x: 5/2 = 2 5.0/2 = 2.5 5/2.0 = 2.5 python 3.X 5/2 = 2.5 5.0/2 = 2.5 5/2.0 = 2.5

Can anyone help me with the below programs: A) which returns orger summary as a list with 2- tuples. Each tuple consists of the order number and the product of the price per items and the quantity. OUTPUT: [ ('34587',163.8),('98762',284.0),('77226',98.85),('88112',74.97) ]. 10 INR should be increased in the product if the value of the order is smaller than 100.00 INR. OUTPUT: [ ('34587',163.8),('98762',284.0),(77226',108.85),('88112',84.97) ]
Can't solve because product price is a part of the tuple. Since LIST IS MUTABLE so we can change its elements. We can change the whole tuple because it is an element of the list. As WKT TUPLE IS IMMUTABLE so we can't change its elements.
