Dear house after my test I didn't see the "submit" button anywhere on my page o. Hmmm let it nor gaan be that you finish exam you no submit . Thank you

It could be that you have already submitted that part.

I want to inform those who have not completed their HST that there is screen shot for virtually all the labs. All you have to do is calculatively pick a screen shot of the section you are in, look for the corrections made and organise it to pass the test.

kayor123:
Today is the last day you guyz have to work hard and complete your HST

Yeah, thanks.
Are you guys all through?

kayor123:
Brother you will really enjoy it if u are in the whatsapp group, dos guyz are amazing and always ready to help 24/7...Goodluck to you

Yeah, I was once in the whatsapp group but I've left, there are wonderful guys and ladies (e.g Moyo) there willing to help and have been helping.

My point is that certain people here at Nairaland didn't run away instead they took the bull by the horn and made this place useful, thereby, serving it's purpose, such that it became rare to see "add me to the whatsapp group". Thanks goes to 5staG, Faith2ogesco, Mayoadegbola, enigmatique and so many others who took the bull by the horn. Am sure people on the whatsapp group had popped in here one time or the other.

Finally, special thanks goes to iykyvic, he gave a detailed explanation of how the assessment was structured (with screen shots), his explanations was what gave a boost to my confidence and I eventually started the home study assessment and ended before the 2nd of January 2016. The whatsapp group might have been better, but this thread served it purpose, that is all am trying to say. Good luck on the interview everyone.

I am just so happy no one is talking about the whatsapp group anymore, yes! we all did it.

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.

Try loading it with Google Chrome.

miketayo:
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?

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.

stereo:
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?

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

forjamb:
I'm at my wits end here. I've tried every trick in the book.

Someone please help out.

1. Calm down.
2. Post the new error code when you are done removing the quotation marks from "list"
3. Remember that you can't use the word "list" (without the quotes) as a placeholder in ur code. Use something else.

forjamb:
Hi, could you please elaborate how you merged all three under one function?
I'm kind of stuck here.
Thanks.

You can merge all three by using the if and elif. If the data structure is list do this, if it is a set do that etc, according to the instructions given.

miketayo:
Ur d best tanks alot worked.. Python is really different m use to Java and c++ things in quotes r like comments. Tanks alot

Enjoy!

miketayo:
def withdraw(self, amount):
if self.balance < amount:
return 'Invalid transaction'
else:
self.balance -= amount
return self.balance

still didnt work

Yes, it won't work, I just checked your code again and you have "Invalid transaction" instead of "invalid transaction". i is in lowercase not uppercase.
If you do this i think your withdraw function would be ok, that is no more "Failure in line 23, in test_invalid_operation self.assertEqual(self.my_account.withdraw(1000), "invalid transaction", msg='Invalid transaction') AssertionError: Invalid transaction".

miketayo:
It didn't work

Then return the balance.

miketayo:
tanks for d time

else:
self.balance -= amount

return "Valid Transaction"

If that worked, then congrats.! I would have suggested you return the balance.

miketayo:
def withdraw(self, amount):
if self.balance < amount:
return 'Invalid transaction'
had done this, this was the condition stated in the question

else: what happens?

5staG:
Ohh..I thought I had to select just one too. Thanks so much for the tip bro. I'll give it another try. Goodluck!

Enjoy!!!

Hi guys, please has any of you recently completed the Homestudy Curriculum Test for Class XIII? I'm having a lil trouble with the Data Structures section (the DS Lab precisely). All the code I tried to submit were rejected as not correct, and unfortunately one can't proceed to another section without getting the code for the current section right. Did anyone else experience difficulties in this DS Lab section? How did you get through? Please help.!

All you have to know is that your program should be capable of manipulating the three listed D.S ('list', 'dictionary', 'set') and produce the appropriate results. I initially thought I had to pick one but that gave me error.
Think of how to achieve each one separately and then bring all together.

iykyvic:
No I didn't, got my invite on December 7th.

Have you gotten to OOP lab in the homestudy test?. Where are we to type our code?
If anyone has done it, pls share how.

Homestudy
Hello there,

You have been invited to Andela Homestudy to take a curriculum exercise, please login with this email address, your password will be all the characters of your email address before the @ sign.

You have been invited to take the Home Study Curriculum curriculum.
Follow this link to begin the curriculum exercise.

Have Fun!!!

That was my email above. There was no such mention of session until you are in the curriculum page and are taking any of those quiz.
The exams are sectioned, The quizzes in parts. Once you start taking any of the quiz, your counter starts, though the counter is not visible or maybe I've not found it, you cannot restart that instance of the quiz because it's bound to your registration mailbox by session and cookie. any attempt to reload or go back during the quiz, or once you've clicked the quiz means that you've finished that part of the quiz. The submit button for that quiz grays out.You are no longer able to submit that part. After every quiz, you'll be asked to continue to the next quiz or not continue, the choice is yours to take all the parts once or take them gradually. The quiz sections coincides(don't know if that's the right word to use in this context, maybe matches would be better) with your curriculum sections. This is my third day answering(see screenshot above for those who are in doubt about the session and time frame to answer issue), I left off at 13% to go and study the OOP python part well. In truth maybe I'm just doing the Overkill, because the questions are objective and relatively easy, no real time interpreter to type live code in is present in the quiz. But as I said earlier I'm in this for life, I've got to do all I can to learn this thing.

I doff my hat for you, thanks for your time.

iykyvic:
Don't think its allowed, to post questions and answers here, but it is relatively easy. To start with you can take the quiz sequentially, one section at a time as you move up the learning curve. personally, I've found it really easy to move from Php to Python(didn't require me discarding my Php or stopping on my Php learning tracks, just added to my study time, but not too different). My advise to those learning new would be to log on to the curriculum website, view the sections, go back to your Andela resources learn that section very well, then come back to the curriculum to take the quiz for that section. Remember practice makes you a better programmer, there is no shortcut to that. You have to do all these in time, before the 15th of January 2016, if you applied for class Xiii. Success as you progress, I am also a wannabe, but I love machines, buildings, computers, programming and software. Even if there is no Andela, I'll keep learning. See you all at the acme of computer science.

Thanks alot.

Hello Andela fellow wannabes,
I believe some people have taken the homestudy test for XIII.
If you have, pls share the complete details with those who haven't.
Details such as how many sections, type of questions e.t.c would surely help someone.
