Software Challenges

Here are some challenges to get you acquainted with our code base:

Python:

1. FizzBuzz

• Iterate through all the numbers from 1 to 100.
• If the number is divisible by 3, print Fizz.
• If the number is divisible by 5, print Buzz.
• If the number is divisible by both 3 and 5, print FizzBuzz.
• Otherwise,print the current number.

2. Fibonacci

• Make a program that prints out the first 30 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence.
• Try using as few lines as possible. Can you do it in 4 lines?

3. List Swap

• Make a list of the first 6 letters (A, B, C, D, E, F).
• Add G to the end of the list.
• Add Z to the beginning of the list.
• Swap the elements B and C.
• Remove E from the list.

4. Dictionary Practice

• Make a dictionary of names and ages for Ann, age 35, Bob, age 40, and Ryan, age 24
• Add Richard, age 26, to the list.
• Remove Ann from the dictionary.
• Print out the age of Bob.
• Print the names and ages of all people younger than 30.

AI:

1. Square

• Modify gate.py to make Tortuga move in a square pattern. This square can be of any size.
• First, try doing this constantly facing the same direction.
• Afterward, modify your code to have Tortuga turn to face the direction of travel (except when diving).

2. Cube

• Create cube.py and make Tortuga move in a cube pattern (I.E. do a square, dive down, then do another square).
• Make a new Task class for Cube in course.py, and have it work in the simulator (a bit tricky!).
• Make sure Tortuga is always facing the direction of travel (except when diving).
• You may only use 4 states (including Start and End). Be creative.

3. Simple Buoy

• Modify gate.py to make Tortuga hit a red buoy.
• You will have to modify the simulator config files to use the scene with a single red buoy.
• Use the vision events to track the buoy. Do not use dead reckoning (it will not work very well).
