Python Review in class Worksheet

1. You are working with your friends, El, Mike, Will, Lucas and Dustin. You are watching the lights in Will’s house flicker on and off and you notice patterns. All of you think it’s a code. So you count the repeating set of flickers, but sometimes you miss the dark count.

38 seconds, light stays steady, 95 seconds light stays steady, Dark for 19 seconds

The flickers change

60 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 160 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark 20 seconds

              The flickers change

              54 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 126 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark 18 seconds

              The flickers change

              11 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 111 seconds flicker light stays steady, dark ___ seconds

              The flickers change

              28 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 70 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark __ seconds

              The flickers change

              21 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 56 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark 7 seconds

              The flickers change

              5 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 50 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark __ seconds

              The flickers change

              18 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 180 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark   __ seconds

              The flickers change

              60 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 160 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark 20 seconds

              The flickers change

              40 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 72 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark __ seconds

              The flickers change

              36 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 27 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark 9 seconds

              The flickers change

              28 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 70 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark 14 seconds

The flickers change

              21 seconds flickers, light stays steady, 56 seconds flickers light stays steady, dark __ seconds

              The flickers change

38 seconds, light stays steady, 95 seconds light stays steady, Dark for 19 seconds

A terrible sizzling is heard and the smell of electrical smoke, and all the lights go out and stay that way.

Figure out the pattern, then write a python program to calculate the missing Darks and then print out the result of the code.

Answer 1

Raw_code:

def dark(light1, light2):
remainder = light2 % light1
difference = light1 - remainder
print("{0:1d} seconds flickers, light stays steady,"
" {1:1d} seconds flickers, light stays steady".format(light1, light2), end = " ")
if remainder == difference:
print("dark :", difference)
elif remainder < difference:
print("dark :", remainder)
elif difference < remainder:
print("dark: ", difference)

dark(38, 95)
dark(60, 160)
dark(54, 126)
dark(11, 111)
dark(28, 70)
dark(21, 56)
dark(5, 50)
dark(18, 180)
dark(60, 160)
dark(40, 72)
dark(36, 27)
dark(28, 70)
dark(21, 56)
dark(38, 95)
