\subsection{Exercises}
\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Problem set 1}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item All the problems can be\\
      solved using \kwrd{if} and \kwrd{while} 
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 1.1}
  Write a program that displays all three digit numbers that are equal to the sum of the cubes of their digits. That is, print numbers $abc$ that have the property $abc = a^3 + b^3 + c^3$\\
\vspace*{0.2in}
\emphbar{These are called $Armstrong$ numbers.}
\end{frame}
  
\begin{frame}{Problem 1.2 - Collatz sequence}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Start with an arbitrary (positive) integer. 
  \item If the number is even, divide by 2; if the number is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1.
  \item Repeat the procedure with the new number.
  \item It appears that for all starting values there is a cycle of 4, 2, 1 at which the procedure loops.
\end{enumerate}
    Write a program that accepts the starting value and prints out the Collatz sequence.

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Problem 1.4}
  Write a program that prints the following pyramid on the screen. 
  \begin{lstlisting}
1
2  2
3  3  3
4  4  4  4

\subsection{Exercises}
\begin{frame}{Problem set 2: Problem 2.1}
  Write a function to return the gcd of two numbers.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 2.2}
Write a program to print all primitive pythagorean triads (a, b, c) where a, b are in the range 1---100 \\
A pythagorean triad $(a,b,c)$ has the property $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.\\By primitive we mean triads that do not `depend' on others. For example, (4,3,5) is a variant of (3,4,5) and hence is not primitive. And (10,24,26) is easily derived from (5,12,13) and is also not primitive.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 2.3}
  Write a program that generates a list of all four digit numbers that have all their digits even and are perfect squares.\newline\\\emph{For example, the output should include 6400 but not 8100 (one digit is odd) or 4248 (not a perfect square).}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 2.4}
  The aliquot of a number is defined as: the sum of the \emph{proper} divisors of the number. For example, aliquot(12) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16.\\
  Write a function that returns the aliquot number of a given number. 
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 2.5}
  A pair of numbers (a, b) is said to be \alert{amicable} if the aliquot number of a is b and the aliquot number of b is a.\\
  Example: \texttt{220, 284}\\
  Write a program that prints all four digit amicable pairs.
