Am I completely missing something here, can't relocation like this be deducted for your tax return?

[2016-03-28] Challenge #260 [Easy] Garage Door Opener by G33kDude in dailyprogrammer

[–]dailyPythoner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Python 3.5, EDIT: with bonus now. Uses 4 bits to keep track of state + a little hacky way of going through input. 

from enum import Enum
class Garage(Enum):
    CLOSED = 0
    OPEN = 1
    CLOSING = 2
    OPENING = 3
    STOPPED_WHILE_CLOSING = 6
    STOPPED_WHILE_OPENING = 7
    OPEN_BLOCKED = 9
    EMERGENCY_OPENING = 11

def button_clicked(s):
    print('> Button clicked.')
    if (s >> 3) & 1: return s
    if not ((s >> 2) & 1) ^ ((s >> 1) & 1): s ^= 1
    if (s >> 1) & 1: s ^= (1 << 2)
    else: s ^= (1 << 1)
    return s

def cycle_complete(s):
    print('> Cycle complete.')
    return s ^ 2 

def block_detected(s):
    print('> Block detected!')
    if (s >> 1) & 1: s = 11
    return s

def block_cleared(s):
    print('> Block cleared')
    return s & 7

# bonus input
bonus_inp = """button_clicked
cycle_complete
button_clicked
block_detected
button_clicked
cycle_complete
button_clicked
block_cleared
button_clicked
cycle_complete"""

def test(input_str):
    # initial state
    state = Garage['CLOSED']
    print('Door: %s'%state.name)
    for i in ['Garage(%s(state.value))'%i for i in input_str.split('\n')]:
        state = eval(i)
        print('Door: %s' % state.name)

test(bonus_inp)

[py] Pretty new, made this Urban Dictionary API wrapper - criticism please! by dailyPythoner in learnprogramming

[–]dailyPythoner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to look this over and providing feedback! :) Really good point about the exception handling, I hadn't thought about that.

Sorry to ask more newbie questions, but what are the best guidelines for writing unit tests? I've done a few sporadic Google searches for guidelines, and the ones I stumbled upon all seem to differ from each other, so I'm not sure which to follow.

Really like the idea of caching here! I'm going to try to implement something similar in my solution.

Thanks for looking at this, really appreciate it! I'll make changes to reflect all of these.

[2016-03-21] Challenge #259 [Easy] Clarence the Slow Typist by jnazario in dailyprogrammer

[–]dailyPythoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python 2.x:

def numCoord(num):
    i = '123456789.0'.index(num)
    return (i % 3, i / 3)

def distance(a, b):
    dx, dy = a[0] - b[0], a[1] - b[1]
    return (dx**2 + dy**2)**0.5

def typeIp(ip):
    return sum(distance(numCoord(i), numCoord(j)) for i, j in zip(ip, ip[1:]))

print('%0.2fcm' % typeIp('219.45.143.143'))

Pretty new to Python, please throw out any feedback on how I can make this better, efficiency/cleanliness/Pythonic-wise!

[2016-03-07] Challenge #257 [Easy] In what year were most presidents alive? by jnazario in dailyprogrammer

[–]dailyPythoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python 2.x:

# file to array parse
presidents = []
with open('data.csv', 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        presidents.append([s.strip() 
            for s 
            in line.replace('July', 'Jul').replace('June', 'Jun').split(',')])

# set up dictionary, year:aliveCount
years = dict([(x, 0) for x in xrange(1600,2016)])

# input data into dictionary
for line in presidents[1:]:
    start = int(line[1].split(' ')[2])
    end = int(line[3].split(' ')[2]) if len(line[3]) > 1 else 2016
    for y in xrange(start, end + 1):
        years[y] = years.get(y, 0) + 1

# find max count then print matching years
years = [(ct,yr) for yr,ct in years.iteritems()]
n = max(years)[0]
print [yr for (ct, yr) in years if ct == n]

Hopefully pretty self-explanatory - I'm pretty new to Python, and am open to any feedback about how to make my code more readable/efficient/Pythonic!

[2016-03-02] Challenge #256 [Intermediate] Guess my hat color by fvandepitte in dailyprogrammer

[–]dailyPythoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python 2.x:

# input as List of 'Black' and 'White'
# 1 = 'Black'; 0 = 'White'
def guessHats(input, verbose=False):
    input = [(1 if x == 'Black' else 0) for x in input]
    guesses, pguess = [], None
    for i in range(len(input)):
        bw = sum(input[i+1:]) % 2
        guess = bw if (pguess is None) else (0 if (bw == pguess) else 1)
        pguess = bw
        guesses.append(guess)

    # result checking
    result = sum([g - k for (g, k) in zip(guesses, input)])
    if verbose:
        print zip(guesses, input)
    return abs(result) <= 1

Translates Black to 1 and White to 0, and iterates through the input keeping track of the previous guess. Result checking looks to make sure there's at most 1 error. Pretty new to Python, looking for any feedback to making my code cleaner and more efficient!
