emeroid: Hello Emeroid, The Andela test are used to trim down or select maybe 30 applicants from a hundred, thousand or millions. I believe this post/thread is meant to help or direct you on how to solve it as against solving it for you. A good programmer never solves your project or test for you, because it's like a doctor writing exams and test for an aspiring doctor. The aspiring doctor could end up killing a patient/relation . The best that could be done is to point you in the right direction @Akintileboy has done that already. If you expect to be told the answer (expo), you wouldn't pass the bootcamp stage(well, so I heard). So instead of taking the space of someone else who could be the future Bill Gates, why not download python tutorials, read/solve more questions in preparation for the next Andela cycle?? Anyone who gives you the code isn't helping you, programmers in Nigeria and the world at large. I'm not saying you aren't good or won't turn out to be the best programmer in the world, but sometimes you need a little nudge/setback to bring out the best in you. Hey, this is the second time I'm taking the test, I got stuck in an older cycle(I couldn't complete 3 lab test), but it made me determined - downloaded and studied so many tutorials (pdf) and found this current cycle so easy. 4 Likes |

^^ Well said! 100+ applicants though. More Than 50 make bootcamp each cycle. The new homestudy labs are easier than the last set of labs though. It's not just you. |

Dear andela cycle xx aspirants, please I need your support. I have not been able to submit a single lab! ( for obvious reasons ; I avnt gotten it right.) I appreciate those that contribute to this thread. I am already dusting the table for cycle xxi . What do I need do to get over those labs? Please I need you to help me as regards the following: (1.) What are the other materials you used to study? Can you please pass them to me? ( olatunjiyso@yahoo.com) (2.) Please on your own personal practice, do you use python 2.x or 3.xx 3.) How will I solve those labs? The questions look like a code block self... Thanks all, wishing U success @ the cycle xx boot camp. |
Re: Andela: IT Training And Job by Bahddo(m): 3:01pm On Feb 12, 2017 |
olatunjiYSO:I admire your desire to learn it and not simply cut corners to pass the test. It's your type that get to the very top. For me... 1) I don't do very well with learning new programming languages from scratch with pdf, unless I already know the basics. Ionly got a hang of python after doing the codecademy course. So while you study with the homestudy curriculum, be sure to do the courses. 2) I use python 2 and Andela's homestudy is based on python 2. However it's great if you know how to use the both of them. 3) When you are done with codecademy or whatever material you prefer using to learn python, practice solving challenges. A very good site is hackerrank. Topcoder is also excellent. As you solve challenges and get stuck, do a search on google and look at solutions others gave to similar problems and try very hard to understand them. Read up python documentation for any new methods and functions you encounter in those solutions and try to understand what they do. Then go back and do it by yourself based on what you now understand. One day you'd wake up and be impressed by how much you have improved. All the best bro. 2 Likes |

Re: Andela: IT Training And Job by widesmile(f): 9:07am On Mar 02, 2017 |
Akintileboy:thanks so much for the hint just submitted my shopping cart. they are out to test smartness as you said. so once your program passes all the hidden test go back to the question and read again. Also i'll advise that when ever you get stuck leave the program and do something else then come back to it. Like me when it was 9:30 pm i left it to do my exercise and prepare for work the next day and also prayed about it, i was in the bathroom when i got the answer so as soon i got to my laptop i tried it and it submitted Thanks again for the hints |
Re: Andela: IT Training And Job by Bahddo(m): 10:50am On Mar 02, 2017 |
MuskElon:It's just one hidden test you aren't passing, and the key lies in your opinion of how empty the string should be to disqualify as an isogram. For example, if you have a string of only non-alphabetic characters (including whitespaces) without at least one letter, it's not an isogram. |

Please, I want to know more about Andela Fellowship. When will the next registration/application begin? |
Re: Andela: IT Training And Job by Bahddo(m): 12:59pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
babajeje123:application is currently on for cycle xxi. This time bootcamps would also be held at Abuja and Calabar for those far from Lagos. You'd have to apply directly for the location of your choice. Learn more at http://andela.com/apply 1 Like |

Re: Andela: IT Training And Job by Headmonbra: 1:32pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
MuskElon: The "if len(w) == 0" line is to denote an empty string, right? I think that may be the problem. Try *if word is " " or word is ""* " " denotes an empty string also a "tuple" dictates that you use "return (word, False)" There has to be a bracket for it to be a tuple. I am basing my response on what I have seen now. I have not checked to see if these corrections will solve your problem. I believe my suggestions will help. Good luck. |
Re: Andela: IT Training And Job by MuskElon: 1:32pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
Bahddo: Thanks a lot man. Fixed it on the first attempt. ![]() |
Re: Andela: IT Training And Job by MuskElon: 2:45pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
Headmonbra: I changed that line to : if word == "" #to check for empty string then i added a condition to check if the argument is a "word" i.e contains only alphabets(word.isalpha()) the parenthesis didn't seem to matter though. I think it's because the curriculum is based on python 2.7 Thanks for your suggestions. Cheers! 1 Like |
