E: Matching basic programming concepts¶

Exercise 1 (Matching basic programming concepts)

Id	Process
1	Get out of bed, put on your socks, then put on your shoes.
2	Ask a new coworker for their name and write it on a name tag.
3	Weigh yourself on the scale and tell your roommate the number.
4	Check if it is raining. If it is, output `Take an umbrella.`
5	Check if it is raining and windy. If both are true, output `Take an umbrella and a coat.` Otherwise, output `Just go.`
6	You want to cross the street. Check the traffic light. If it is red, wait. If it is green, check whether any cars are still coming; if none are coming, cross, otherwise wait a bit longer before crossing.
7	Ask a guest how many pancakes they want (`n`). Flip one pancake at a time until you’ve made that many, then serve them all together.
8	You are stirring a pot of soup. Taste it. If it isn’t salty enough, add a pinch of salt and taste again. Keep tasting and adding salt until it tastes right.
9	You want to know how many unread emails you have. Set `unread_count` to 0. As long as there is a next email in your inbox, check it; if it is unread, add 1 to `unread_count`.
10	A librarian is checking out books for a student. Ask the student how many books they want (`n`). For each of the `n` books: scan its barcode; if the book is already checked out to someone else or reserved by another student, output `Unavailable` and move to the next book. Otherwise, check whether the student has any overdue books. If they do, refuse the checkout and output `Please return your overdue books first.` Otherwise, mark the book as checked out and add 1 to a running total of books issued. After all `n` books have been processed, output the total number of books issued.

Exercise 2 (Conveyor belt capacity check)

You are going to help automation engineers in your company to determine whether a conveyor belt system can safely transport a collection of packages.

The system can be supported by any number of motors. Every motor is able to carry 5.6 kg of package weight.

Prompt the user for the number of motors by asking:

How many motors are carrying the packages?

Then, prompt the user for the weight of packages:

How many kg of packages do we expect?

Do not forget to convert the input values to numeric types.

If the total package weight divided by the number of motors is less or equal than 5.6 (including), then print:

Yes! The conveyor belt can carry the packages.

Otherwise:

No. The conveyor belt cannot carry the packages.

Sample interactions:

How many motors are carrying the packages? 3
How many kg of packages do we expect? 10
Yes! The conveyor belt can carry the packages.

How many motors are carrying the packages? 2
How many kg of packages do we expect? 20.4
No. The conveyor belt cannot carry the packages.

Draw a flowchart for this problem.
