The first line contains an intege...read more
Ans. 
Euler's Totient Function calculates count of integers coprime to N between 1 and N.
• Implement Euler's Totient Function to calculate count of coprime integers to N.

• Use the formula: phi(N) = N * (1 - 1/p1) * (1 - 1/p2) * ... * (1 - 1/pk) where p1, p2, ..., pk are prime factors of N.

• Example: For N = 9, phi(9) = 9 * (1 - 1/3) = 6.

Q2. Can you explain the pillars of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?
Ans. 
The pillars of OOP are Inheritance, Encapsulation, Abstraction, and Polymorphism.
• Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class.

• Encapsulation restricts access to certain components of an object, protecting its integrity.

• Abstraction hides complex implementation details and only shows the necessary features.

• Polymorphism allows objects to be treated as instances of their parent class, ena
