One thing we might want to know, given an input to a chatbot, is if the input is a question.
We are going to use a very simple heuristic to check this: we will consider any input that has a question mark ('?') in it to be a question.
To do so, write a function called is_question.
This function should have the following inputs, outputs, and internal procedures:
Input(s): input_string - string
Output(s): output - boolean
Procedure(s): if there is a '?' in input_string, set output to True
otherwise, set output to False.
return output

Following are the code to this question:

def is_question(input_string): # defining method is_question  

   output = '?' in input_string # checking question mark symbol in value

   return output #return value

input_string = input('Enter any string value: ') # defining variable input_string to input value

print (is_question(input_string)) # call method and print return value

Output:

Enter any string value: what is your name?

True

Explanation:

In the given python program code, a method "is_question" is declared, which accepts an "input_string" value in its parameter.

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
