[Tutor] Help on Assginments
To whom it may concern, I need someone to help me to develop programs for the following assignments: 1. Define a new kind of Turtle, TurtleGTX, that comes with some extra features: it can jump forward a given distance, and it has an odometer that keeps track of how far the turtle has travelled since it came off the production line. (The parent class has a number of synonyms like fd, forward, back, backward, and bk: for this exercise, just focus on putting this functionality into the forward method.) Think carefully about how to count the distance if the turtle is asked to move forward by a negative amount. (We would not want to buy a second-hand turtle whose odometer reading was faked because its previous owner drove it backwards around the block too often. Try this in a car near you, and see if the car’s odometer counts up or down when you reverse.) 2. You are to develop a program (name it trivia_game.py) that will play a trivia game with two players. The game will be played this way: Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering 5 trivia questions. When a question is displayed, 4 possible answers are also displayed (1 of the 4 is the correct answer). A correct answer earns the player 1 point. After both players have answered their 5 questions the program will display the number of points earned by each player and declare the player with the most points the winner (or a tie if both players have earned the same number of points). You must write a class (name it Question.py) to hold the data for a trivia question. The class should have the following attributes: A trivia question Possible answer 1 Possible answer 2 Possible answer 3 Possible answer 4 The number of the correct answer (1, 2, 3, or 4) The Question class should have an appropriate __init__ method, accessors and mutators. Your program should have a list or dictionary containing 10 Question objects, one for each trivia question. You are to make up your own trivia questions. Submit both files (zip the two files if possible). Our final exam is a real world problem about efficiency in a warehouse. 3. XYZ Corporation sells products online.

We will answer your questions and give you hints when you get stuck. But it is the whole list membership helping you, not a designated "someone". As to your projects here's what I'd recommend. 1) Tackle them one by one, it keeps the email threads separate and the archives easier to search. 2) Make a start, write some code. When you get stuck or something doesn't work as expected, ask here. 3) Always remind us of which OS and Python version you are using 4) If there are error messages send the whole error text not a summary. > 1.

Slightly more challenging but nothing too difficult provided you can do the math and the document provided is sufficiently clear.

[Tutor] Help on Assignments
To whom it may concern, I need someone to help me to develop programs for the
following assignments. I have been working on these assignments for a week and
a half, and I can't make any progress. I also been dealing with a sick
relative, so please help me out immediately. I use the version 3.4.1. Here are
the following assignments and what I have so far:
1. Define a new kind of Turtle, TurtleGTX, that comes with some extra features:
it can jump forward a given distance, and it has an odometer that keeps track
of how far the turtle has travelled since it came off the production line. (The
parent class has a number of synonyms like fd, forward, back, backward, and bk:
for this exercise, just focus on putting this functionality into the forward
method.) Think carefully about how to count the distance if the turtle is asked
to move forward by a negative amount. (We would not want to buy a second-hand
turtle whose odometer reading was faked because its previous owner drove it
backwards around the block too often. Try this in a car near you, and see if
the car’s odometer counts up or down when you reverse.)
import turtle
class turtle_Turtle():
ts = turtle.Screen()
ts.title("TurtleGTX")
bob = turtle.Turtle()
bob.shape("turtle")
bob.color("brown")
class TurtleGTX(turtle_Turtle):
odometer = 0
def forward(x):
if (x >= 0):
i = 0
while (i < x):
self.fd()
odometer += 1
i+=1
else:
i = 0
while (i > x):
self.bk()
odometer +=1
i-=1
print ("Odometer is", odemeter)
my_turtle = TurtleGTX()
my_turtle.foward()
2. You are to develop a program (name it trivia_game.py) that will play a
trivia game with two players. The game will be played this way:
Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering 5 trivia
questions. When a question is displayed, 4 possible answers are also displayed
(1 of the 4 is the correct answer). A correct answer earns the player 1 point.
After both players have answered their 5 questions the program will display the
number of points earned by each player and declare the player with the most
points the winner (or a tie if both players have earned the same number of
points).
You must write a class (name it Question.py) to hold the data for a trivia
question. The class should have the following attributes:
A trivia question
Possible answer 1
Possible answer 2
Possible answer 3
Possible answer 4
The number of the correct answer (1, 2, 3, or 4)
The Question class should have an appropriate __init__ method, accessors and
mutators.
Your program should have a list or dictionary containing 10 Question objects,
one for each trivia question. You are to make up your own trivia questions.
Submit both files (zip the two files if possible).
trivia_game.py
import sys
import random
import Question.py
questions = [
Question("How many states start with the letter M", 3, ["6", "7", "8",
"9"]),
Question("What is the area of a right triagle with a hypotenuse of 10 and
an altitude of 8", 1, ["24", "40", "48", "80"]),
Question("Which physics quantity is not a vector", 4, ["Acceleration",
"Momentum", "Torque", "Work"]),
Question("How many inches are in a foot", 2, ["6", "12", "18", "24"]),
Question("Who does not play in the NFL anymore", 3, ["Frank Gore", "Richard
Sherman", "Peyton Manning", "Antonio Gates"]),
Question("What is a bakers dozen equivalent to", 4, ["10", "11", "12",
"13"]),
Question("Which city has a NBA team", 1, ["Sacramento", "Baltimore", "St.
Louis", "Pittsburgh"]),
Question("Which of the following elements have eleven protons", 4,
["boron", "sulfur", "floruine", "sodium"]),
Question("What is the minimum age to run for president of the United
States", 2, ["30", "35", "40", "45"]),
Question("Who won super bowl 44", 1, ["New Orleans Saints", "Pittsburgh
Steelers", "Minnesota Vikings", "Indianapolis Colts"])

While I sympathise with your circumstances we are all
volunteers here so the help you receive will be at the
speed that suits the members.
I will address your two assignments in separate mails.

I'm not sure what you think this is doing but I'm
pretty sure its not what you want. You are basically
defining a couple of class variables and nothing else...
> class TurtleGTX(turtle_Turtle):
I would have expected you to inherit from turtle.Turtle
rather than turtle_Turtle. The latter has no methods and
only two class variables. So your GTX class likewise has
no inherited methods, you will need to define all of
its behaviour.
> odometer = 0
This is a class variable meaning it is shared by all
turtles. I suspect you really want it to be an instance
attribute, which means defined within an __init__()
> def forward(x):
The first parameter of a class method is usually called
self because it will refer to the active object. In this
case your x will be the object, whereas I think you want
it to be the distance to move? But if so x is a bad choice
of name since it implies horizontal direction only
> if (x >= 0):
> i = 0
> while (i < x):
> self.fd()
> odometer += 1
> i+=1
This is a horribly inefficient way of saying
if x>=0:
self.fd(x)
odometer += x
But it won't work because
a) You didn't inherit from turtle so you don't have a fd() method
b) Even if you had it requires an input value for its distance
so should be self.fd(1)
> else:
> i = 0
> while (i > x):
> self.bk()
> odometer +=1
> i-=1
Again a very inefficient alternative to
else:
x = -x
self.bk(x)
odometer += x
> print ("Odometer is", odemeter)
Do you really want to print that every time the turtle moves?
> my_turtle = TurtleGTX()
> my_turtle.foward()
You misspelled forward and failed to give it an x value.
Please send real code and/or any error messages. This code
could never have run so you should have errors.

You do not include the .py extension in an import
statement. It should read
import Question
Also by convention modules use lowercase names.

You are trying to instantiate a Question object but it is (presumably)
defined in the question.py class which you import. If so you need to
prefix it with the module name like so
Question.Question(...)

List indices start from zero so your highest index should be 3.
Assuming you intend to use the '4' as an index to the correct answer?

???
I'm expecting a class definition here with at least
__init__() and ask() methods. And it needs to store
the question, possible answers and correct answer
somewhere too?
