CMU 15-112 Spring 2017: Fundamentals of Programming and Computer Science
Lab 1 (Due Thursday 31-Aug, at 10pm)
This lab has 2 required forms -- one to make groups for this week and one to peer-review each others' groupwork (in terms of being great groupmates, not in terms of getting right answers).
- Group Formation Form: Due by the end of your recitation section [2.5 pts]
Fill out one of the following forms: - Group Peer-Review Form: Due Thursday 31-Aug 11:59pm [2.5 pts]
Fill out this peer review form once for each member of your group.
- This lab is Collaborative. No solo work allowed!. Work in groups of 2-3 (and the same group the whole time). See the syllabus for more details. Be sure to list your collaboration partners (name and andrew id) in a comment on the first line of this file!
- Even though this is collaborative, you may not directly copy any code from anyone, and you may not electronically share your code with anyone.
- Be a good lab partner! Help everyone in your lab group, and accept their help if you need it. Don't be in a hurry to finish the problems. Instead, take your time and be sure that everyone in the lab group is following and understanding. The goal is to learn, not just to finish.
- To start:
- Create a folder named 'week1'
- Download both lab1.py and cs112_f17_linter.py to that folder
- Edit lab1.py using pyzo
- When you are ready, submit lab1.py to autolab. For this lab, you may submit up to 20 times (which is way more than you should require), but only your last submission counts.
- Do not use strings, loops, lists, or recursion this week.
- Do not hardcode the test cases in your solutions.
Reminder: do not work on these problems alone -- only work on them together with your lab partners!
- nearestOdd(n)
Write the function nearestOdd(n) that takes an int or float n, and returns as an int value the nearest odd number to n. In the case of a tie, return the smaller odd value. - rectanglesOverlap(x1, y1, w1, h1, x2, y2, w2, h2)
A rectangle can be described by its left, top, width, and height. This function takes two rectangles described this way, and returns True if the rectangles overlap at all (even if just at a point), and False otherwise. Note: here we will represent coordinates the way they are usually represented in computer graphics, where (0,0) is at the left-top corner of the screen, and while the x-coordinate goes up while you head right, the y-coordinate goes up while you head down. Yes, up is down! This is quite common in computer graphics, and is how Tkinter and Brython in particular both work. Check out the examples in the test code we provided to see this in action. Up is down. Weird, but true. - isPerfectSquare(n)
Write the function isPerfectSquare(n) that takes a possibly-non-int value, and returns True if it is an int that is a perfect square (that is, if there exists an integer m such that m**2 == n), and False otherwise. Do not crash on non-ints nor on negative ints. - getKthDigit(n, k)
Write the function getKthDigit(n, k) that takes a possibly-negative int n and a non-negative int k, and returns the kth digit of n, starting from 0, counting from the right. So:
getKthDigit(789, 0) returns 9
getKthDigit(789, 2) returns 7
getKthDigit(789, 3) returns 0
getKthDigit(-789, 0) returns 9 - setKthDigit(n, k, d)
Write the function setKthDigit(n, k, d) that takes three integers -- n, k, and d -- where n is a possibly-negative int, k is a non-negative int, and d is a non-negative single digit (between 0 and 9 inclusive), and returns the number n but with the kth digit replaced with d. Counting starts at 0 and goes right-to-left, so the 0th digit is the rightmost digit. For example:
setKthDigit(468, 0, 1) returns 461
setKthDigit(468, 1, 1) returns 418
setKthDigit(468, 2, 1) returns 168
setKthDigit(468, 3, 1) returns 1468 - colorBlender(rgb1, rgb2, midpoints, n)
This problem implements a color blender, inspired by this tool. In particular, we will use it with integer RGB values (it also does hex values and RGB% values, but we will not use those modes). Note that RGB values contain 3 integers, each between 0 and 255, representing the amount of red, green, and blue respectively in the given color, where 255 is "entirely on" and 0 is "entirely off".
For example, consider this case. Here, we are combining crimson (rgb(220, 20, 60)) and mint (rgb(189, 252, 201)), using 3 midpoints, to produce this palette (using our own numbering convention for the colors, starting from 0, as the tool does not number them):- color #0: rgb(220,20,60)
- color #1: rgb(212,78,95)
- color #2: rgb(205,136,131)
- color #3: rgb(197,194,166)
- color #4: rgb(189,252,201)
So we could ask: if we start with crimson and go to mint, with 3 midpoints, what is color #1? The answer then would be rgb(212,78,95).
One last step: we need to represent these rgb values as a single integer. To do that, we'll use the first 3 digits for red, the next 3 for green, the last 3 for blue, all in base 10 (decimal, as you are accustomed to). Hence, we'll represent crimson as the integer 220020060, and mint as the integer 189252201.
With all that in mind, write the function colorBlender(rgb1, rgb2, midpoints, n), which takes two integers representing colors encoded as just described, a non-negative integer number of midpoints, and a non-negative integer n, and returns the nth color in the palette that the tool creates between those two colors with that many midpoints. If n is out of range (too small or too large), return None.
For example, following the case above:
colorBlender(220020060, 189252201, 3, 1) returns 212078095
You can find some other test cases in the test function provided for you in lab1.py.
