Popcorn Hack 1

(Python and Javascript)

num1 = input("Enter a number: ")

if len(num1) == 1:
    print("single digits")
elif len(num1) == 2:
    print("double digits")
elif len(num1) == 3:    
    print("triple digits")
else:
    print("I don't know what you are talking about")

double digits

%%js
function digits(num) {
    if (num >= 1 && num <= 9) {
        return "single digits";
    } else if (num >= 10 && num <= 99) {
        return "double digits";
    } else if (num >= 100 && num <= 999) {
        return "triple digits";
    } else {
        return "invalid number";
    }
}
    
console.log(digits(5));
console.log(digits(53));
console.log(digits(501));

Homework Hack

correct = 0

q1 = input("1. How many points is a free throw worth? (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3: ")
if q1.lower() == "a":
    correct += 1

q2 = input("2. How long is an NBA quarter? (a) 10 minutes (b) 12 minutes (c) 15 minutes: ")
if q2.lower() == "b":
    correct += 1

q3 = input("3. How many players from each team are on the court during a basketball game? (a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 6: ")
if q3.lower() == "b":
    correct += 1

q4 = input("4. Which NBA player is known for winning 6 championships with the Chicago Bulls? (a) Michael Jordan (b) Kobe Bryant (c) LeBron James: ")
if q4.lower() == "a":
    correct += 1

q5 = input("5. Which team has won the most NBA championships? (a) Los Angeles Lakers (b) Boston Celtics (c) Golden State Warriors: ")
if q5.lower() == "b":
    correct += 1

print(f"You scored {correct}/5!")

You scored 4/5!

Popcorn Hack #1

(Python and Javascript)

age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
likes_sports = input("Do you like sports? (yes/no): ").lower()

if age >= 18:
    if likes_sports == "yes":
        print("You can join a local sports team!")

You can join a local sports team!

%%js
//let age = parseInt(prompt("Enter your age:"));
//let likesSports = prompt("Do you like sports? (yes/no):").toLowerCase();
// change to hardset variable
let age = 20;
let likesSports = "yes";

Homework Hack

I made this my own by changing it to a bike race with unique categories!

age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
has_bike = input("Do you have a bike? (yes/no): ").lower()

can_join_race = age >= 10 and has_bike == "yes"

if can_join_race:
    if age < 15:
        message = "You will race in the junior category."
    else:
        message = "You will race in the senior category."

    print(f"Awesome! {message}")
else:
    print("Sorry, you can't join the race yet.")

Awesome! You will race in the senior category.
