Exercises

Exercise 1: Functions Over HTTP (with Forms!)

In this exercise you will create a project that completes a task similar to the original "Functions over HTTP" exercise, but this time you will implement use a template and process the user input with a Django Form (no path parameters!).

1. Hey You: Your app should respond with Hey, <name>! when a request is made to /hey/<name>. For example, a request to /hey/bcca should respond with Hey, BCCA!.
2. How Old: Your app should respond with a user's age in some provided end year when a request is made to /age-in/<end>/<birthyear>. For example /age-in/2050/2000 should respond with 50. Your path should appropriately indicate that the end and birthyear path arguments are integers.
3. Can I Take Your Order: Your app should respond with an order total for a provided number of hamburgers, fries, and drinks when a request is made to /order-total/<burgers>/<fries>/<drinks>. Burgers are $4.50. Fries are $1.5. Drinks are $1. Your path should appropriately indicate that the burgers, fries, and drinks path arguments are integers.

Exercise 2: Codingbat Over HTTP (with Forms!)

In this exercise you will create a project that completes a task similar to the original "Codingbat over HTTP" exercise, but this time you will implement use a template and process the user input with a Django Form (no path parameters!).

For each of the paths bases below, implement the corresponding codingbat challenge as a view. I've created a codingbat_over_http directory for you to create your project/app in. Arguments should be collected from the path and the response should contain the answer to the challenge. Additionally, you should implement three of the test cases that coding bat provides as test cases in your django app.

1. warmup-2/font-times/... implemented with 3 test cases.
2. logic-2/no-teen-sum/... implemented with 3 test cases.
3. string-2/xyz-there/... implemented with 3 test cases.
4. list-2/centered-average/... implemented with 3 test cases.

Mastery Check (Benchmark)

You will be asked to create a django project that accomplishes a task similar to the "Codingbat Over HTTP (with Forms!)" exercise.
