Description
You are provided with a stub in which you need to insert your code where indicated
without doing any changes to the existing code to complete the task.
The current code will accept a zero or positive integer (that is, non-strictly negative integer)
with possible leading 0s and converts it to base 8(keeping leading 0s, if any).
Given the following directions:
0: Move North
1: Move North-East
2: Move East
3: Move South-East
4: Move South
5: Move South-West
6: Move West
7: Move North-West
Reading the number written in base 8 from right to left. We start from a position that is the
unique position where the switch is on. Moving to a position switches on to off and off to
on there. By default, all positions are off.
Your program should display the minimal rectangular shape that includes all on positions as
shown in the test cases below.
# Reading the number written in base 8 from right to left,
# keeping the leading 0's, if any:
# 0: move N 1: move NE 2: move E 3: move SE
# 4: move S 5: move SW 6: move W 7: move NW
#
# We start from a position that is the unique position
# where the switch is on.
#
# Moving to a position switches on to off, off to on there.
import sys
on ='\u26aa'
off ='\u26ab'
code = input('Enter a non-strictly negative integer: ').strip()
try:
if code[0]=='-':
raise ValueError
int(code)
except ValueError:
print('Incorrect input, giving up.')
sys.exit()
nb_of_leading_zeroes =0
for i in range(len(code)-1):
if code[i]=='0':
nb_of_leading_zeroes +=1
else:
break
print("Keeping leading 0's, if any, in base 8,", code, 'reads as',
'0'* nb_of_leading_zeroes + f'{int(code):o}.'
)
print()
#print(nb_of_leading_zeroes)
# INSERT YOUR CODE HERE
# PLS MAKE SURE IT PASSES BELOW TESTS
# Need to print while/black circles as the output
Test Cases
Enter a non-strictly negative integer: 0
Keeping leading 0's, if any, in base 8,0 reads as 0.
Enter a non-strictly negative integer: 00
Keeping leading 0's, if any, in base 8,00 reads as 00.
Enter a non-strictly negative integer: 0256
Keeping leading 0's, if any, in base 8,0256 reads as 0400.
Enter a non-strictly negative integer: 3654
Keeping leading 0's, if any, in base 8,3654 reads as 7106.
