Assume the availability of a function called printstars. the function receives an integer value as an argument. if the argument is positive, the function prints (to standard output) the given number of asterisks. thus, if printstars(8) is called, (8 asterisks) will be printed.

assume further that the variable starcount has been declared and initialized to contain a positive integer value.

write some code that prints starcount asterisks to standard output by:

first printing a single asterisk and no other characters then calls printstars to print the remaining asterisks.

hint: make sure to use the "end" option for print characters without the default newline, e. g. print("hello", end="")

Write a program that displays the following menu: geometry calculator 1. calculate the area of a circle 2. calculate the area of a rectangle 3. calculate the area of a triangle 4. quit enter your choice (1-4): if the user enters 1, the program should ask for the radius of the circle and then display its area. use the following formula: area = ď€(the square of r) use 3.14159 for ď€ and the radius of the circle for r. if the user enters 2, the program should ask for the length and width of the rectangle and then display the rectangle’s area. use the following formula: area = length * width if the user enters 3, the program should ask for the length of the triangle’s base and its height, and then display its area. use the following formula: area = base * height * .5 if the user enters 4, the program should end. input validation: display an error message if the user enters a number outside the range of 1 through 4 when selecting an item from the menu. do not accept negative values for the circle’s radius, the rectangle’s length or width, or the triangle’s base or height. note: if the user enters an improper menu choice (1-4), the program prints "the valid choices are 1 through 4. run the program again and select one of those." if the user enters a negative radius, the program prints "the radius can not be less than zero." if the user enters a negative value for height or base, the program prints "only enter positive values for base and height."
