Tasks

The instructions for each task:

• Task 1: Train Inventory — Use nested loops to write functions for dealing with inventory on a train. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Task 2: Word Search — Use nested loops to solve word search puzzles. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.

About this Project

These tasks will give you practice with nested loops and sorting. Once again this week you may choose to do either task but you only need to do one of them.

We strongly recommend that if you are only doing one task, you work on the train inventory task instead of the word search task, which is a bit more complex.

If you want to find a partner to work with for this project, use this Google Sheet to do so.

Reminders

• Remember to download the starter code for each task from the Potluck server.
• You can also use the server to take a 24-hour extension on this project if you need to.

Time Estimate

Our per-task estimate for this project is 1.5-4 hours, plus up to an hour of reading.

  • For trainInventory, each team member must submit trainInventory.py.
  • For wordSearch, each team member must submit wordSearch.py.

• Double-check the status of your submitted tasks, since there may be warnings.

• Reminder: you can submit as many times as you like, and only the most recent submission will count for your grade.

• If you run into trouble with the submissions server, contact Peter Mawhorter, and include a copy of the file(s) you were trying to submit.
