This problem is a famous programming job interview question designed to filter out those who think they can program but in reality can't. If you can easily solve this problem, you are already better than 99% of job candidates who apply for a programming job. The problem statement is simple:
Note the spelling of "informatics". There's an R in informatics.
Use conditionals and str() function to write a function named get_informatics() that takes an integer and returns a string. I emphasize that the return value is of type str, not int.
In [ ]:
def get_informatics(number):
'''
Prints every number from 1 to 100. But for multiples of four, print "info" instead;
and for multiples of six, print "matics." For numbers which are mltiples of both
four and six, print "informatics."
Parameters
__________
input: An integer greater than 0.
Returns
_______
output: A string.
Examples
________
>>> get_informatics(1)
'1'
>>> get_informatics(4)
'info'
>>> get_informatics(6)
'matics'
>>> get_informatics(12)
'informatics'
'''
# your code goes here
return result
Next, use for loop(s) and get_informatics() function to write a function named print100() that prints every number from 1 to 100.
In [ ]:
def print100():
'''
Prints every number from 1 to 100, but multiples of 4, 6, and both 4 and 6
are replaced by 'info', 'matics', and 'informatics', respectively.
'''
# your code goes here
return None
When you are done writing your functions, test the cell below by pressing shift + enter.
In [ ]:
print100()
When you execute print100() in the above cell, your output should be
