Question 1
Write a program to determine the tuition fees for a student. The program should
use two overloaded functions, each named calcFees, to determine the tuition
fees for a student. Students who repeat a module pay a different fee for the
modules which are repeated. The program should first ask if the student repeats
any modules. If the student repeats, the program should ask for the number of
modules which are repeated.
One of the overloaded functions should accept the number of modules enrolled
for the first time and the fee for those modules as arguments (parameters), while
the other function accepts arguments for the number of modules enrolled for
the first time and the fee for those modules as well as the number of modules
repeated and the fee for those modules. Both functions should return the tuition
fees for the student.

Copy code
def calcFees(num_modules, fee):
return num_modules * fee
, def calcFees(num_modules_first_time, fee_first_time, num_modules_repeated,
fee_repeated):
return (num_modules_first_time * fee_first_time) + (num_modules_repeated
* fee_repeated)
repeat_modules = input("Are there any modules being repeated? (yes/no): ")
if repeat_modules.lower() == "yes":
num_modules_first_time = int(input("Enter the number of modules enrolled
for the first time: "))
fee_first_time = float(input("Enter the fee for modules enrolled for the first
time: "))
num_modules_repeated = int(input("Enter the number of modules repeated: "))
fee_repeated = float(input("Enter the fee for repeated modules: "))
total_fees = calcFees(num_modules_first_time, fee_first_time,
num_modules_repeated, fee_repeated)
else:
num_modules_first_time = int(input("Enter the number of modules enrolled:
"))
fee_first_time = float(input("Enter the fee for modules enrolled: "))
total_fees = calcFees(num_modules_first_time, fee_first_time)
print("Total tuition fees: $" + str(total_fees))
In this program, there are two overloaded calcFees functions. The first function
calcFees(num_modules, fee) calculates the tuition fees for a student who doesn't
repeat any modules. The second function calcFees(num_modules_first_time,
fee_first_time, num_modules_repeated, fee_repeated) calculates the tuition fees
for a student who repeats modules.
