Example Problem Set
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]
This is example problem set. In this example we are learning about lists, conditionals, and processing user input.
The Problem[edit]
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 no testing for user input. That is, if a user enters a number, an integer, or nothing, your program should not evaluate the input.
Unit Tests[edit]
- User Input: Name: Bill
- Expected output: Hello Bill
- User Input: Name: TJ
- Expected output: An administrator! Hello TJ
- User Input: Name: 123
- Expected output: Hello 123
Hacker edition[edit]
In the hacker version:
- Your program should test for valid user input. The user input should be only allow for strings

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?
