Daily Challenge #69

[Yoshi (KidKoder)]

So, today’s daily challenge is from me.

It will be very simple. Today, you will have to make a procedure that asks for one input.

It has to be a string!

The procedure should do:

• know which is the first and the last number
• then keep the first and last number, but
• make all the other letters in between randomly posed again.

See examples:

1. “example” should be “emaxlpe” or “expalme” or “elmxape” or…

2. “me” should be “me”

3. “I” should not be “translated”, so it can show the error from Kodular itself, but if you want, you can set the output to a custom error message.

4. “2323” should be the same as point 3.

Hope you will have fun koding!

Yoshi

PS: your inputs for me:

"example", “test”, “LOL” and "Me"

PPS:
And yes, I know the creator.kodular site is down but let’s hope it will be ready for us soon!

I don’t really understand

@Yoshi

• know which is the first and the last number
• then keep the first and last number, but
• make all the other letters in between randomly posed again.

[Yoshi (KidKoder)]

See examples please.

[WatermelonIce (Bryan)]

@Yoshi

4. “2323” should be the same as 3

Is “3” means point 3?

@Yoshi

3. “I” should not be translated

[Yoshi (KidKoder)]

@WatermelonIce

“3” means point 3

Yes, silly me. Will edit it.

[WatermelonIce (Bryan)]

I finally did it, but mine is extremely complicated cuz I don’t know how to simplify it.

It is really complicated but it worked.

[Yoshi (KidKoder)]

@WatermelonIce

but it worked.

That’s all, but for the Solution, I will mark the one as Solutio that has the fewest. So, for now, yours.

@Yoshi

• then keep the first and last number, but
• make all the other letters in between randomly posed again.

@Yoshi

“example” should be “emaxlpe” or “expalme” or “elmxape” or…

So according to your instructions one possible solution could also be the word “example”. The procedure will keep the first and last letters the same and all the between will be in random places. In that case the random places happens to create the same word as given. Correct?

[Yoshi (KidKoder)]

@George_Loungos

could also be the word “example”

Your answer…

@George_Loungos

Correct!

[Mateja]

My solution

Python:

import random

n = input()

def randomizeLetters(x):
    if len(x)>2:
        newList = list(x)
        newList.pop(0)
        newList.pop(-1)
        random.shuffle(newList)
        return newList
    else:
        return ""

def listToString(listQ):
    output = ""
    for elem in listQ:
        output+=elem
    return output


if len(n)<2:print("ERROR")
else:print(n[0]+listToString(randomizeLetters(n))+n[-1])

Kodular

[Yoshi (KidKoder)]

What’s with these?

@Yoshi

PS: your inputs for me:

"example", “test”, “LOL” and "Me"

Anyway, I see it’s right. Nice!

[WatermelonIce (Bryan)]

Actually this is my first time doing daily challenge, feeling excited!

[Mateja]

What does your procedure return for “2323”?

[WatermelonIce (Bryan)]

@Mateja

return for “2323” ?

23
Um… the return is quite strange

[Mateja]

Should return an error.

[George_Loungos]

@Yoshi

you will have to make a procedure

@Yoshi

The procedure should do:

@Mateja

Kodular

blocks (34)1501×653 78 KB

That’s actually two procedures

[Mateja]

@George_Loungos

That’s actually two procedures

Of course, I could’ve put it in one, which would make the blocks amount much less, but I wanted so people can understand what I am doing step-by-step.

[George_Loungos]

I know that’s why I put . It’s a joke.
