hey all, this is to test your python skills (if i get good feedback from this i will post more)

1. Write a function is_between(x, y, z) that returns True if x ≤ y ≤ z or False otherwise.

2. Write a function factorial that takes in a number, calculates it’s factorial and returns the final value to the program to print. The print should not happen within the function. Your function should use recursion, not extensive calculations.

please post the code in pastebin or if you must you can use the "code" tags

1) def is_between(x, y, z): return y >= x and y <= z
2) def factorial(x): return 1 if x==1 else x * factorial(x-1)
print factorial(4)

[SupreemJuggalo]

1) def is_between(x, y, z): return y >= x and y <= z
2) def factorial(x, total): return total if x==1 else factorial(x-1, total*x)
print factorial(4, 1)

you are correct but it would have been easier to read if you put it in code tags or upload it to paste bin. :p

also you did not print weather its true or false for question 1

also you did not print weather its true or false for question 1

You just says to return the answer, not print it

[SupreemJuggalo]

sorry, i did not make it very clear. you still do need to print the answer. but it can not happen within the function.

Damnit glob, you and your obsession with lambadas ._.

glob that must be in a function.. =P

Do you not know what a lambada is? Lol

You guys are all making this way too complex. You can literally chain the comparison operands in Python. He gave you what you needed to do in the challenge.

>>> x, y, z = 1, 2, 3
>>> x <= y <= z
True

A lambda is an anonymous function. Call it the same way lol

[SupreemJuggalo]

i can see you all are having a little fun with this. lol thats good to see, i will post another one tomorrow. look for it if you like.

1. def is_between(x,y,z): return x <= y <= z
2.

PHP Code


<?php 
def fa(num):
  if num == 0:
  return 1
  elif num < 0:
  raise Exception("negative number!")
  else:
  return num * fa(num-1)

>>> x, y, z = 1, 2, 3
>>> x <= y <= z
True

Damn. Today I learned.
Also, behold my generic solutions :

PHP Code


<?php 
def is_between(x, y, z):
    return x <= y <= z

def fact(n):
    if n == 1:
        return 1
    return n * fact(n - 1)

print is_between(1, 2, 3)
print fact(5)

okay, i wrote it wrong.. i meant that should all be in ONE function:

Code

def is_between(x, y, z):
    your
    lambdas
    here

is_between(1, 2, 3)

But nevermind, just peanuts 😁
