Python Challenges

Hosted by Abram H. and Andrew C.

 

Solve the python challenges with your table!

Solutions should be at least 1 of the following:

* Unique

* Effecient

* Pythonic

* Creative

* Correct?

* tiny

Web Python REPLs:

repl.it/

py3.codeskulptor.org/

codebunk.com

 

Challenge 1

  • a function to insert a number into a list in order (maintain a sorted list)

  • A function
  • 2 inputs
    • a value
    • a list
  • 1 output
    • the list with the value inserted in order
  • e.g. insert(4,[1,2,3,5]) == [1,2,3,4,5]

Challenge 2

  • given 2 lists of words, return the most frequent word found in both sets (e.g. most occurring word shared by both lists). test data:

  • A function
  • 2 inputs
    • a list of words
    • a list of words
  • 1 output: the word which is shared and occurred the most
  • e.g., common_word(['dog','dog','dog', 'cat', 'hockey', 'stick'], ['dog','dog','cat','stick])=="dog"

Challenge 3

  • given a list of measurements of temperatures of size N calculate a list of size N-1 of differences in           temperatures (e.g. x[i + 1] - x[i])

  • A function
  • 1 input
    • a list of N numbers (temperatures)
  • 1 output: a list of N-1 numbers
  • e.g., temp_diff([1,2,3]) = [1,1]

Challenge 4

  • Given strings of html grab the href out of the anchor tags. E.g., '<a href="http://coolbears.com">' =>           http://coolbears.com

  • A function
  • 1 input
    • a string of HTML
    • a list of words
  • 1 output: 1 string of the first href attribute. Or 1 list of all href attributes.
  • e.g., href('<a href="http://coolbears.com">X</a>')=="http://coolbears.com"

Challenge 5

  • You need to convert queries to IDs or slugs and IDs must be lower case and spaces need to be replaced by - and - needs to be replaced by -- 'convert "I like cheese--a lot" to i-like-cheese----a-lot'

  • A function
  • 1 input
    • a string
  • 1 output: a string where space and dash are replaced and escaped by dashes.
  • e.g., dash_slug("I like CHEESE--a lot")=="i-like-cheese----a-lot"

Challenge 6

  •  Given 2 lists of values A and B make a function that returns the values in A that are not in B

  • A function
  • 2 inputs
    • a list of values
    • a list of values
  • 1 output: a list of values in A that are not in B
  • e.g., anotb(['a','b','c'],['b','c','d']) == ['a']
