Code Mafia: Interest Gauge.

Interested. Would pre-in if I could.

NO CODES IN MAFIA GAMES

But honestly this shouldn't be too difficult to write a simple program to calculate. Do we send in like a pastebin of our algo or...?

What's stopping someone from manually counting the brackets?

My attempt at the parenthesis problem(written in Python)

Code: Select all

def main(code):
    for all element in code:
        floor = 0
        if element = "(":
            floor += 1
        elsif element = ")":
            floor -= 1
        else:
             print "Invalid character! \n"
        return floor

print main(*)

* indicates where you should copypaste the encoded text.

In my defense i wrote the damn thing on mobile while waiting for my lecture to begin.

Kagami is correct, floor = 0 has to be outside the loop. TSQ and FA are correct, it has to be ==.

No idea about is but I prefer ==

Shamelessly stolen from the internet

Given an array length 1 or more of ints, return the difference between the largest and smallest values in the array.

Bonus points: don't use min() or max()

[Accountant]

Clarification: Answer above should be written as a defined function, called using an array length of one or more in its parameters.

[Accountant]

Code: Select all

def find_diff(array)
>largest = 0
>smallest = 0
>>for x in array:
>>>if x > largest:
>>>>largest = x
>>>elseif x < smallest:
>>>>smallest = x
>>>else:
>>>>print "You fucked up! Try again!"

>return largest - smallest

Another attempt at coding on mobile. Using > because tapping space four times messes with my head.

I want a mish mash coding challenge

[Accountant]

If TSQ wont post it then I will
