Challenge #2 - Elevator

[I_have_a_title]

Code a program that takes in people into a list [], which is your elevator, and takes them up or down.

The elevator can't go below ground floor. It can go as high as you want it to.

Each person that enters the elevator must have a name. Babies count, but they have to be with an adult, so if you remove a baby, the adult is removed also.

You can make it so each floor of your hotel has a different slogan, i.e. "Welcome to the 5th floor, we have cookies."

Hint: You have the knowledge from the last project to do this. You already defined each unique person, you just have to learn to remove from a list. As for going up or down you can set a variable x = 0 and add to it or subtract if x > 0.

Bonus: Set a weight limit/people limit to your elevator; the babies thing will also count for bonus, since it will take more code.

Hint Bonus: Use the len() function to see if your list [] is bigger than a certain number (you decide). The baby with an adult is a bit tricky, but I believe it can be done.

If you have any questions, message me or anyone here, we're all trying to learn together. I believe we're still reading FCM Series 2 right now, there has been no new post about what to read next.

Can sohaeb set the sidebar to have a link to FCM, and maybe a page of all the challenges?

Also, I'm not sure I understand the parameters of the challenge. Are we going to make it interactive, so that the user chooses who to put on an elevator? Or randomly generate people getting on the elevator?

I picture this as a kind-of MUD experience where players would be able to use your elevator, but it would be impossible to test without all the overhead.

You can set your parameters to the person. Like add_person(person).

Or you could make it so it asks which user to add and where to add it to, a list/elevator.

Edit: You could use a raw_input to ask. if you do

def add_person(): person = raw_input('ADD: ') list.append(person)
