AI-Saturdays Nairobi - Beginner

This exerise is designed to assess your programming capabilities. Submissions received before Thursday August 2nd 2018 will be considered for the AI-Saturdays 2018 Beginner Track.

Task 1

Everytime you run the snippet of code below, a new random list, ourList of 10 integers between 1 and 10 is generated. Extend the snippet to create a valriable belowFive with only the elemets of ourList that are below 5.

import random 

ourList = list()
count = 0 
while (count < 11):
    ourList.append(random.randint(1,10))
    count += 1
    
ourList

Task 2

Everytime you run the snippet of code below, a new random 4-word string, randomPhrase is generated.

import random

words = [word.rstrip('\n') for word in open('words.txt')]
randomPhrase = " ".join([words[random.randrange(0, len(words))] for i in range(4)])

randomPhrase

Extend the snippet to reverse both the order of the 4 words and the order of the letters in each word. Save this in a variable called reversePhrase. eg.

band prize boss complex

would become:

xelpmoc ssob ezirp dnab

Working on the Exercise

1.Fork the code challenge repository provided.

2.Make a topic branch. In your github form, keep the master branch clean. When you create a branch, it essentially will be a copy of the master.

Pull all changes, make sure your repository is up to date

$ cd aiSaturdays_Beginner2018
$ git pull origin master

Create a new branch as follows-> git checkout -b [your_email], e.g.

$ git checkout -b youremail@gmail.com master

See all branches created

$ git branch
* youremail@gmail.com
  master

Push the new branch to github

$ git push origin -u youremail@gmail.com

3.Remember to only make changes to the fork!

Edit the task1 and task2 .py files in the repository folder and solve the set out exercises. Each file should be concluded with a print() statement that prints out the desired result.

eg.

print(belowFive)

print(reversePhrase)

4.Commit the changes to your fork.

5.Make a pull request to the aiSaturdays_Beginner2018 Repo.
