This a problem set for you to work through ^[1]

This is a problem set. Some of these are easy, others are far more difficult. The purpose of these problems sets are:

to build your skill applying computational thinking to a problem
to assess your knowledge and skills of different programming practices

What is this problem set trying to do[edit]

In this problem set we are really testing your computational thinking.

The Problem[edit]

There is a rule at our school that students must not have more than 2 major exams in one calendar day. This rule is designed to reduce stress.

You must:

create a list of students
create a list of classes
map the students to classes

determine if a class has an exam
determine the day of the week the class has the exam

loop through the test events and count the test events on one day. If any of the students has more than 2 exams on one day, you must indicate a warning, indicating the conflicting student, class and day.

How you will be assessed[edit]

Your solution will be graded using the following axis:

Scope

To what extent does your code implement the features required by our specification?
To what extent is there evidence of effort?

Correctness

To what extent did your code meet specifications?
To what extent did your code meet unit tests?
To what extent is your code free of bugs?

Design

To what extent is your code written well (i.e. clearly, efficiently, elegantly, and/or logically)?
To what extent is your code eliminating repetition?
To what extent is your code using functions appropriately?

Style

To what extent is your code readable?
To what extent is your code commented?
To what extent are your variables well named?
To what extent do you adhere to style guide?

 == What is this problem set trying to do ==
-This is example problem set. In this example we are learning about [[lists]], [[conditionals]],  and processing user input.
+In this problem set we are really testing your [[computational thinking]].
 == The Problem ==
-At a prestigious international school, we have only 5 administrators, Michael, Carol, Jen,  Constance and TJ. Your program should ask the user to type in their name. If their name matches one of our administrators, your program must output a special greeting. If the user input is any other name (does not match the list of administrators).
+There is a rule at our school that students must not have more than 2 major exams in one calendar day. This rule is designed to reduce stress.
-There is no testing for user input. That is, if a user enters a number, an integer, or nothing, your program should not evaluate the input.
+You must:
-== Unit Tests ==
+* create a list of students
+* create a list of classes
+* map the students to classes
-* '''User Input:''' Name: Bill
+* determine if a class has an exam
-* '''Expected output:''' Hello Bill
+* determine the day of the week the class has the exam
-* '''User Input:''' Name: TJ
+* loop through the test events and count the test events on one day. If any of the students has more than 2 exams on one day, you must indicate a warning, indicating the conflicting student, class and day.
-* '''Expected output:''' An administrator! Hello TJ
-* '''User Input:''' Name: 123
-* '''Expected output:''' Hello 123
-== Hacker edition ==
-In the hacker version:
-* Your program should test for valid user input. The user input should be only allow for strings
-THIS PART ISNT DONE YET
 == How you will be assessed ==
