Bro it's basically like this:

def manipulate_data(data_structure, data):
If type(data) == type(''):
#manipulate data here
elif type(data) == type({()}):
#manipulate data here
elif type(data) == type({}):
#manipulate data here

I had problems with this same section too but this was how I finaly solved it. It should work for you too. Goodluck..

This my output: set(['a', 'c', 'b', 'e', 'd', 'AFRICA', 'TIA', 'ANDELA']) after using add() to attach the last three strings

Expected output: {'a', 'c', 'b', 'e', 'd', 'ANDELA', 'TIA', 'AFRICA'}

So here lies the problem. Any help?

I think u should use set.union to add variables to a set. not add plus ANDELA should come first. follow it accordingly if not u get an error

I used set.add but make sure you follow the order.

I've tried that. They both produce the same results. Any more ideas?

just use "|" (union) to unite all.
for example: A | {'B'} | {'C'}
That should do the trick.

unless I see d code u used for the set. when I can see where the error myt be

stereo:


Because my output is: set(['a', 'c', 'b', 'e', 'd', 'AFRICA', 'TIA', 'ANDELA']) after using add() to attach the last three strings

and expected output is: {'a', 'c', 'b', 'e', 'd', 'ANDELA', 'TIA', 'AFRICA'}

So here lies the problem. Any help?

Bro I don't really understand the problem you're having. Are we expected to add any other thing to the set apart from the "ANDELA", "TIA and "AFRICA"? What I just did was:
If type(data) == type ({()}):
data.update(["ANDELA", "TIA" , "AFRICA"])
and it worked. But take note of the quotation marks you add to the words. Don't use single and double quotes like they did in the question like this: '"ANDELA"'. I did that initially and the code failed one of the tests..

just use The set place holder.union("ANDELA", "TIA", "AFRICA" , this is what is expected of you. remember your 'ANDELA', 'TIA', 'AFRICA' should be a set.

I was only following the instructions given.
I also tried without the quotes but still nothing.

can u post that part of ur code here

hello! i am having another problem with the algo lab test getting this error
1 . test_maximum_number_two
Failure in line 15, in test_maximum_number_two self.assertEqual(result, "zoo", msg="Incorrect number" AssertionError: Incorrect number

It is not passing the second test. any idea?

Can somebody help me out.... I have been trying since last month to load my test, but its not working. It keep telling me resuming... And when I click on it, all I get is no curricullum loaded. I have sent several mails to them, all to no avail.

It's advisable you use the computer and browser you started with.

I'm out of ideas bro. I can only advice you read from page 79 and mention anyone who has or had similar problem and ask if they have been able to solve it.

The long and short of the whole thing is to implement a bubblesort algorithm and return the last item on the sorted list (the last item is usually the largest).
Remember, bubblesort compares the first and second item on a list, if the first item is bigger than the second, they swap places, the second item is then compared with the third, and swapping is made where necessary, etc.
If the above doesn't make sense post part of your code.

They normally advise that we should use Google Chrome browser. That could be your problem. . .

GreenBobo:

I am experiencing similar issues(as yours)
How far? Any solution?

Plz, how did you resolve this you problem.

Tanks bro got it

Rich4god:

Then send them a mail apply@andela.com ...I usually send them the same question twice cos the first mail you send them will always return an auto-response. I normally reply them with the same question before they themselves reply, and not the auto-responder

Hello folks, Please someone should help me out, I'm stuck in the OOP lab. Is the subclass just going to be without any definitions(methods)?

Wat happens once we finish the test?
