operation.

Exercise: Number guessing game - level 0

Level 0

Using the random module the computer “thinks” about a whole number between 1 and 20.

The user has to guess the number. After the user types in the guess the computer tells if this was

bigger or smaller than the number it generated, or if was the same.

The game ends after just one guess

Exercise: Fruit salad

Write a script that will pick 3 fruits from a list of fruits like the one we had in one of the earlier

slides. Print the 3 names.

Could you make sure the 3 fruits are different?

Exercise: compare strings

Ask the user to enter two strings

Then ask the user to select if she wants to compare them based on ASCII or based on their length

Then tell us which one is bigger.

Exercise: one string in another string

Write script that accepts two strings and tells if one of them can be found in the other and where?

Exercise: to ASCII CLI

Write script that gets a character on the command line and prints out the ascii code of it.

Maybe even:

Write script that gets a string on the command line and prints out the ascii code of each character.

Exercise: from ASCII CLI

Write script that accepts a number on the command line and prints the character represented by that

number.

Exercise: Print all the locations in a string

Given a string like “The black cat climbed the green tree.”, print out the location of every “c” charcater

Exercise: Number guessing game

Level 0

Using the random module the computer “thinks” about a whole number between 1 and 20.

The user has to guess the number. After the user types in the guess the computer tells if this was

bigger or smaller than the number it generated, or if was the same.

The game ends after just one guess.

Level 1

The user can guess several times. The game ends when the user guessed the right number.

Level 2

If the user hits ‘x’, we leave the game without guessing the number.

Level 3

If the user presses ‘s’, show the hidden value (cheat)

Level 4

Soon we’ll have a level in which the hidden value changes after each guess. In oredr to make that

mode easier to track and debug, first we would like to have a “debug mode”.

If the user presses ‘d’ the game gets into “debug mode”: the system starts to show the current

number to guess every time, just before asking the user for new input.

Pressing ‘d’ again turns off debug mode. (It is a toggle each press on “d” changes the value to to the

other possible value.)

Level 5

The ‘m’ button is another toggle. It is called ‘move mode’. When it is ‘on’, the hidden number

changes a little bit after every step (+/-2). Pressing ‘m’ again will turn this feature off.

Level 6

Let the user play several games.

Pressing ‘n’ will skip this game and start a new one. Generates a new number to guess.

Exercise: MasterMind

Implement the MasterMind game.

The computer “thinks” a number with 4 different digits.

You guess which digits. For every digit that matched both

in value, and in location the computer gives you a *. For every

digit that matches in value, but not in space the computer gives

you a +. Try to guess the given number in as few guesses as possible.

1 Computer: 2153

2 You: 2467 *

3 You: 2715 *++

Exercise: Count unique characters

Given a string on the command line, count how many differnt characters it has

Exercise: Check if number is prime

Write a program that gets a number on the commnad line a prints “True” if the number is a prime

number or “False” if it isn’t.
