This is a 9-hole game of Python mini-golf. The goal is to create a series of 9 functions, each of which takes the output of the previous hole as the input. This is supposed to be useful for beginners, so it provides a tour of Python's built-in functions: http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html
def hole0(your_name):
# your_name should be a string of at least 3 letters
# create a function that divides it into 3 strings of equal size (smallest parts first if not divisible by 3)
# hint: check out the built-in len() function
return your_name_parts
def hole1(your_name_parts):
# this function takes as input the output of the hole0() function
# convert those 3 strings into 3 lists of their letters
# hint: check out the builtin list() function
return letters
def hole2(letters):
# sort each of the 3 lists of letters alphabetically
# hint: check out sorted() function and also the list.sort() method, and learn what "sorting in place" means!
return sorted_letters
def hole3(sorted_letters):
# convert each letter list into list of ASCII codes
# hint: ord()
return ASCII
def hole4(ASCII):
# convert these ASCII integers into strings
# hint: str()
return ASCII_str
def hole5(ASCII_str):
# join each ASCII_str as a single string
# hint: look up the join() method
return joined_number_strings
def hole6(joined_number_strings):
# add a decimal point to the beginning of each of the 3 strings
# hint: check out the builtin string operations (like '+')
return point_stuff
def hole7(point_stuff):
# now convert each into a float
# hint: float()
return float_stuff
def hole8(float_stuff):
# and finally, convert into your Python Name Color
# multiply each of these 3 floats by 255 to form an RGB value
# hint: you will need the int() function
# show me your color to claim your candy!
# bonus points: write code that actually outputs a square of this color
return RGB
