  1. There is a constructor that takes two parameters: a String name, being the name of the person, and an int age, being the age of the person.
  2. There are getter methods getName() and getAge() that return the person's name and age respectively.
  3. This is a method growOlder(nYears) that increments the persons age by nYears (an integer).

Each input line is a sequence of one or more integers, separated by commas. For each line of input the program should print the total of the integers in the input line. The program terminates if a blank line is read or if end-of-file occurs.

A common problem for students learning Python is the distinction between functions that return a value ("true" functions) and functions that print output and (preferably) don't return a value ("procedures"). This is an example of the latter.

Write a Python3 function print_sqrs_1_to_n(n) that takes a single positive integer as a parameter and prints a table of all integers and their squares from 1 up to and including n, formatted as below. The output from your function, when called with the code in the Test column, should be exactly as shown in the Result column.

The penalty regime for this question is 5, 15, 25, ... i.e., there is a 5% penalty for the first wrong submission but the penalty thereafter rises by 10% for each wrong submission.

For those who don't know Python, one possible answer is:

def sqr(n):
    return n * n

Copy that answer into the answer box and click Check to see how CodeRunner questions behave. Then try changing the answer in various ways and re-checking.

The test for bye should be case-insensitive. The welcome message depends only on the first name and whether or not that first name is Richard (case insensitively) as shown in the example table below. The first name is defined to be all text up to but not including the first space or the entire line if no space is present in the line. You may assume the line bye is always present in the input.
