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 and conditionals.
The Problem[edit]
Please consult the image of a leaderboard below
You must design an algorithm which creates the total number of points. The algorithm accepts as input a comma delimited list:
USER ID, BADGES, CHALLENGES, VIDEOS, QUIZZES
For QUIZZES, the input is passed as a 2 dimensional list indicated the quiz number and the number of attempts. Please see below for two different examples of inputs:
1234, 3, 12, 13, [[1,1],[2,5],[3,1],[4,2]]
In the example above, user 1234 has 3 badges, 12 challenges, 13 videos and has the following quiz data:
- for quiz 1, there was 1 attempt
- for quiz 2, there was 5 attempts
- for quiz 3, there was 1 attempt
- for quiz 4 there were 2 attempts.
Your program should output the user ID and the number of points that user has earned. An example of out should look like:
1234, 340
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?
