Python Programming Puzzles: Exercise-90 with Solution

For each triple of eaten, need, stock write a Python program to get a pair of total appetite and remaining.

Input:
[[2, 5, 6], [3, 9, 22]]
Output:
[[7, 1], [12, 13]]

Input:
[[2, 3, 18], [4, 9, 2], [2, 5, 7], [3, 8, 12], [4, 9, 106]]
Output:
[[5, 15], [6, 0], [7, 2], [11, 4], [13, 97]]

Input:
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
Output:
[[3, 1], [9, 1]]

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def test(nums):
    return [[a+min(b, c), max(0, c-b)] for a, b, c in nums]

nums = [[2, 5, 6], [3, 9, 22]]
print("Original list (triple) of lists:")
print(nums)
print("Each triple of eaten, need, stock return a pair of total appetite and remaining:")
print(test(nums))
nums = [[2, 3, 18], [4, 9, 2], [2, 5, 7], [3, 8, 12], [4, 9, 106]]
print("\nOriginal list (triple) of lists:")
print(nums)
print("Each triple of eaten, need, stock return a pair of total appetite and remaining:")
print(test(nums)) 
nums = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
print("\nOriginal list (triple) of lists:")
print(nums)
print("Each triple of eaten, need, stock return a pair of total appetite and remaining:")
print(test(nums))

Sample Output:

Original list (triple) of lists:
[[2, 5, 6], [3, 9, 22]]
Each triple of eaten, need, stock return a pair of total appetite and remaining:
[[7, 1], [12, 13]]

Original list (triple) of lists:
[[2, 3, 18], [4, 9, 2], [2, 5, 7], [3, 8, 12], [4, 9, 106]]
Each triple of eaten, need, stock return a pair of total appetite and remaining:
[[5, 15], [6, 0], [7, 2], [11, 4], [13, 97]]

Original list (triple) of lists:
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
Each triple of eaten, need, stock return a pair of total appetite and remaining:
[[3, 1], [9, 1]]

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

The os and os.path modules.

The __file__ constant

os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")

os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")

os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")

os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
