Which device intercepts internal user requests and then processes those requests on behalf of the users?

Im doing this last minute and literally none of my neighbors or people that my dad works with use excel so if anyone could me make up an example

Write a program that keeps asking the user for new values to be added to a list until the user enters 'exit' ('exit' should not be added to the list). these values entered by the user are added to a list we call 'initial_list'. then write a function that takes this initial_list as input and returns another list with 3 copies of every value in the initial_list. finally, inside print out all of the values in the new list. for example: input: enter value to be added to list: a enter value to be added to list: b enter value to be added to list: c enter value to be added to list: exit output: a b c a b c a b c note how 'exit' is not added to the list. also, your program needs to be able to handle any variation of 'exit' such as 'exit', 'exit' etc. and treat them all as 'exit'.

In a heat transfer course, we can derive the equation for the temperature distribution in a flat rectangular plate. in this example, we will look at a plate at steadystate with three sides being held at t1, and one side held at t2. the temperature for any location on the plate, t(x,y), can be calculated by where create a function (prob3_5) that will take inputs of vectors x and y in feet, scalar n, scalars l and w in feet and scalars t1 and t2 in degrees fahrenheit. it will output a matrix t which is the temperature of each x and y locations. t will have the number of columns equal to the number of elements in x and rows equal to the number of elements in y. though this can be done without loops (perhaps more efficiently), your program must use a nested loop.
