Codewars note:Printer Error
Exercise:
In a factory a printer prints labels for boxes. For one kind of boxes the printer has to use colors which, for the sake of simplicity, are named with letters from a to m
.
The colors used by the printer are recorded in a control string. For example a "good" control string would be aaabbbbhaijjjm
meaning that the printer used three times color a, four times color b, one time color h then one time color a...
Sometimes there are problems: lack of colors, technical malfunction and a "bad" control string is produced e.g. aaaxbbbbyyhwawiwjjjwwm
with letters not from a to m
.
You have to write a function printer_error
which given a string will return the error rate of the printer as a string representing a rational whose numerator is the number of errors and the denominator the length of the control string. Don't reduce this fraction to a simpler expression.
The string has a length greater or equal to one and contains only letters from a
to z
.
Examples:
s="aaabbbbhaijjjm"
printer_error(s) => "0/14"
s="aaaxbbbbyyhwawiwjjjwwm"
printer_error(s) => "8/22"
Solution:
import string def printer_error(s): char = 0 for i in s: if i in string.ascii_lowercase[0:13]: pass else: char += 1 return '%s/%s' % (char, len(s))
2.
def printer_error(s): return "{}/{}".format(len([x for x in s if x not in "abcdefghijklm"]), len(s))
