Step 1

• Create a new Python file in PyCharm by right-clicking the project you created and selecting New > Python File.

Step 2

• Declare a function that accepts two parameters.

def returned_list(first, second):

Step 3

• Make the function return a list of the parameters.

return [first, second]

Step 4

• Declare a second function that accepts two parameters.

def returned_dict(first, second):

Step 5

• Make the function return a dictionary of the parameters.

return {first: second}

Step 6

• Declare a third function that accepts two parameters.

def returned_tup(first, second):

Step 7

• Make the function return a tuple of the parameters.

return {first: second}

Step 8

• Declare a fourth function that accepts two parameters.

def returned_none(first, second):

Step 9

• Make the function perform an addition operation on the parameters.

res = first + second

Step 10

• Create the main function to handle the program.

def main():

Step 11

• Create two variables that request inputs of values from a user

first_val = input("Please enter a value: ")
second_val = input("Please enter another value: ")

Step 12

• Save the first function’s result to a variable.

list_res = returned_list(first_val, second_val)

Step 13

• Save the second function’s result to a variable

dict_res = returned_list(first_val, second_val)

Step 14

• Save the third function’s result to a variable.

tup_res = returned_list(first_val, second_val)

Step 15

• Save the fourth function’s result to a variable.

none_res = returned_list(first_val, second_val)

Step 16

• Print the results and the types saved in the variables

print("{} and its type is: {}".format(list_res, type(list_res)))
print("{} and its type is: {}".format(dict_res, type(dict_res)))
print("{} and its type is: {}".format(tup_res, type(tup_res)))
print("{} and its type is: {}".format(none_res, type(none_res)))

Step 17

• Invoke the main function to run the program.

main()
