Kindly help me with relevant hint on my DS lab, it keep saying "solution failed to pass all test"

DS LAB

Create a function manipulate_data that does the following
Accepts as the first parameter a string specifying the data structure to be used "list", "set" or "dictionary"
Accepts as the second parameter the data to be manipulated based on the data structure specified e.g [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] for a list data structure
Based off the first parameter

return the reverse of a list or
add items `"ANDELA"`, `"TIA"` and `"AFRICA"` to the set and return the resulting set
return the keys of a dictionary.



def manipulate_data(first="list", data =[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]):
if (first == "list":
return data.reverse()


elif (first == "set":
data = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}
data = data | {"ANDELA"} |{"TIA"} |{"AFRICA"}
return set(data)

elif(first == "dictionary":
data = {1: "a", 4: "b", 9: "c", 16: "d", 25: "e"}
return data.keys()

Hello here,
Is it possible for someone without any experience in programming get to boot camp if the homestudy pdf file is well studied?
Thanks

Hi there. Yes it is.

pls assist me on this Algo Lab test, the code failed to pass all tests


def get_algorithm_result(number_list):
largest = number_list[0]
for num in range(1, len(number_list)):
if (largest < number_list[num]):
largest=number_list[num]
if (largest == number_list[len(number_list)-1]):
return largest
else:
num +=1


def prime_number(num):
if num > 1:
for i in range( 2, num):
if (num % i == 0):
return "False"
else :
return "True"
else:
return "false"

I also tried this but still not getting through, what could be wrong?

def get_algorithm_result(number_list):
largest = number_list[0]
for num in range(1, len(number_list)):
if (largest < number_list[num]):
largest=number_list[num]
if (largest == number_list[len(number_list)-1]):
return largest
else:
num +=1


def prime_number(numb):
if numb > 1:
n = numb // 2
for i in range(2, n + 1):
if numb % i == 0:
return "False"
else :
return "True"
else:
return "false"

Pls help me, i've tried several code for this Algo lab and its still not pulling through.
This was the last code i tried:

def get_algorithm_result(number_list):
largest = number_list[0]
for numb in range(1, len(number_list)):
if (largest < number_list[numb]):
largest=number_list[numb]
return largest





def prime_number(num):
num = abs(int(num))
if num < 2:
return False
if num == 2:
return True
if not num & 1:
return False
for x in range(3, int(num**0.5)+1, 2):
if num % x == 0:
return False
return True

has anyone received the link for the home study test

charley94:
has anyone received the link for the home study test

When did you apply for this current class?

Folzye:


When did you apply for this current class?

last month, they actually sent an email saying the link on or before 23rd of august

They sent you a link to the home study test already, is something wrong with it?? Else i still Don't get you

no the link to the test has not been sent

charley94:

no the link to the test has not been sent

Okay, they will still send it.. I guess there is a little issue with that process at the moment

charley94:

okay, thanks

I am also waiting for the link too. I am not happy since I had already prepared to be tested today. but they can still send it though. the day isn't over yet. is the test timed?

Not Timed.

I don't understand why this is happening. This is demoralising. no test link after the 3 weeks period that they gave us. Maybe the economy is affecting them too. and they've decided to halt the programme just like some other companies I've applied to.

lol, you're very wrong there! I applied with them and got to the bootcamp stage but only made it to the first week before I got eliminated and I can confidently tell you that Andela is currently working on the test link probably they don't want to repeat the same questions with the previous ones. My question for you is have you taken your time to study hard enough?

.

Umu101:

Is it not python, html,CSS and Java script? I have mastered these languages even before I applied to Andela. I want to ask. is it compulsory to use the online curriculum and take the quizzes there or can I just use my own apps to prepare. is it compulsory to take the quizzes in the home study curriculum??

its very compulsory that you study the homestudy pdf files and you've to be very careful because your answers much match what's in the homestudy PDF files.

Umu101, you sounded so confident like you already extremely proficient in Javascript and python, don't forget Ruby on the rails it's important too. I was at the last Andela bootcamp, we were only 60 that made it there but 31 people were eliminated within the first week and it's so unfortunate that i'm among them. Now, this Friday some people will be eliminated again. Andela is looking for just 18 smart people to become Fellows.
