Cardiff School of Computer Science and Informatics

Coursework Assessment Pro-forma

Module Code: CMT120

Module Title: Fundamentals of Programming

Lecturers: Federico Liberatore

Assessment Title: Programming Challenges

Date Set: 23rd October 2023

Submission date and Time: 14th December 2023 at 9:30AM

Return Date: 15th January 2024

If you have been granted an extension for Extenuating Circumstances, then the submission deadline and return date will be

later than that stated above. You will be advised of your revised

submission deadline when/if your extension is approved.

If you defer an Autumn or Spring semester assessment, you

may fail a module and have to resit the failed or deferred components.

If you have been granted a deferral for Extenuating Circumstances, then you will be assessed in the next scheduled assessment

period in which assessment for this module is carried out.

If you have deferred an Autumn or Spring assessment and are

eligible to undertake summer resits, you will complete the deferred

assessment in the summer resit period.

If you are required to repeat the year or have deferred an assessment in the resit period, you will complete the assessment in

the next academic year.

As a general rule, students can only resit 60 failed credits in

the summer assessment period (see section 3.4 of the academic

regulations). Those with more than 60 failed credits (and no more

than 100 credits for undergraduate programmes and 105 credits

for postgraduate programmes) will be required to repeat the year.

There are some exceptions to this rule and they are applied on a

case-by-case basis at the exam board.

If you are an MSc student, please note that deferring assessments may impact the start date of your dissertation. This is

1

because you must pass all taught modules before you can begin

your dissertation. If you are an overseas student, any delay may

have consequences for your visa, especially if it is your intention

to apply for a post study work visa after the completion of your

programme.

NOTE: The summer resit period is short and support from

staff will be minimal. Therefore, if the number of assessments is

high, this can be an intense period of work.

This assignment is worth 40% of the total marks available for this module. If coursework is submitted late (and where there are no extenuating

circumstances):

1. If the assessment is submitted no later than 24 hours after the deadline,

the mark for the assessment will be capped at the minimum pass mark;

2. If the assessment is submitted more than 24 hours after the deadline,

a mark of 0 will be given for the assessment.

Extensions to the coursework submission date can only be requested

using the Extenuating Circumstances procedure. Only students with approved extenuating circumstances may use the extenuating circumstances

submission deadline. Any coursework submitted after the initial submission

deadline without approved extenuating circumstances will be treated as

late.

More information on the extenuating circumstances procedure can be

found on the Intranet:

By submitting this assignment you are accepting the terms of the following declaration:

2

I hereby declare that my submission (or my contribution to it in the

case of group submissions) is all my own work, that it has not previously

been submitted for assessment and that I have not knowingly allowed it to

be copied by another student. I declare that I have not made unauthorised

use of AI chatbots or tools to complete this work, except where permitted. I

understand that deceiving or attempting to deceive examiners by passing off

the work of another writer, as one’s own is plagiarism. I also understand

that plagiarising another’s work or knowingly allowing another student to

plagiarise from my work is against the University regulations and that doing

so will result in loss of marks and possible disciplinary proceedings.

Assignment

To complete this coursework, you must complete a set of programming challenges in Python and JavaScript.

Each challenge can be awarded a maximum of 10 marks. Therefore,

perfectly solving five exercises will give you 50 marks (pass), and perfectly

solving all the exercises will give you 100 marks. An exercise is solved perfectly only if high-quality functional code is submitted in both Python and

JavaScript. Providing high-quality functional code in only one programming

language results in a lower mark (i.e., five marks out of ten). Therefore, you

can still pass the coursework by only completing problems in one language,

or by completing half the problems in both languages.

You might not be able to solve all the exercises. This is fine. You are

not all expected to be able to solve all of the challenges in both languages.

However, you should be able to solve enough of the exercises in one or both

languages to be able to pass the assessment and demonstrate you have met

the learning outcomes being assessed.

The challenges are described in detail below, and you are also provided

with a set of test cases that will check whether your code produces the

required output or not. In particular, you will be given two test cases per

exercise. You should make sure that your submitted code passes the supplied

tests to ensure it functions correctly. However, please note that your code

will be tested against a further two different test cases, which you have not

been supplied with. In total then each exercise will be tested against four

test cases, including the two provided. You should therefore ensure that you

try to cover all possible inputs and that your code still functions correctly.

Your code will need to pass all 4 tests (2 seen, 2 unseen) in order to score

full marks for the functionality. Note that there is a time limit of 3 seconds

to each test. If your code does not provide a correct answer within the time

limit the test is failed.

Instructions for completing the challenges

• You will find template code for the assignment on Learning Central.

This provides two folders, python and js. Inside each folder you

will find a template.{js/py} file, in which you should complete your

solutions. You will also find a test_template.{js/py} file containing

the test cases that will check your code’s functionality, along with a

folder of test data required for some of the tests. You are also supplied

4

with a Readme.md file containing detailed instructions on how to run

the test cases to check your code.

• In the templates, the functions’ interfaces are given but the functions’

bodies are empty. Solve the exercises by correctly filling in the functions’ bodies.

• It is forbidden to change the functions’ interfaces. However, new

functions can be defined to support the solution of the exercises.

These functions must have names that are different from those already

present in the templates.

• You are NOT allowed to import any additional modules. Use of module functions will result in zero marks for the corresponding exercises.

• In all the exercises, you can assume that the inputs are provided in the

appropriate format and type. Therefore, error-checking is not needed.

• The final submission should NOT contain any input, print, or console.log

statements.

You will be given marks for solving each problem in both programming

languages within the time limit. Further marks will be awarded for solution

style and quality. The mark scheme is described in further detail later.

Exercise 1: Smallest Fraction Terms

Complete the function ‘exercise1’ that takes two positive integers as its

parameters. The parameters represent the numerator and denominator of a

fraction. The function reduces the fraction to lowest terms and then returns

both the numerator and the denominator of the reduced fraction as integers.

Python: The numerator and denominator should be returned as a tuple.

JavaScript: The numerator and denominator should be returned as

elements 0 and 1 of a 2-item array.

Examples:

• exercise1(12,15) returns (4, 5) in Python and [4,5] in JavaScript.

• exercise1(8,4) returns (2,1) in Python and [2,1] in JavaScript.

5

Exercise 2: Magical Dates

A magic date is a date where the day multiplied by the month is equal to

the last two digits of the year.

For example 10/6/1960 is a magic date because 6 times 10 is 60, which

is equal to the last two digits of 1960.

Complete the function ‘exercise2’ that takes three positive integers as its

parameters, day, month, and year, respectively, and returns True if the date

is a magic date, or False otherwise.

Examples:

• exercise2(10,6,1960) returns True in Python and true in JavaScript.

• exercise2(10,6,1970) returns False in Python and false in JavaScript.

Exercise 3: Find All Sublists

A sublist is a list that constitutes a portion of a larger list. A sublist can

consist of a single element, multiple elements, or no elements at all.

Example: [1], [2], [3] and [4] are all sublists of [1, 2, 3, 4]. The

list [2, 3] is also a sublist of [1, 2, 3, 4], but [2, 4] is not a sublist of

[1, 2, 3, 4] because the elements 2 and 4 are not adjacent in the longer

list. The empty list is a sublist of any list. As a result, [] is a sublist of

[1, 2, 3, 4]. A list is a sublist of itself, meaning that [1, 2, 3, 4] is

also a sublist of [1, 2, 3, 4].

Using the above definition of a sublist, complete the function ‘exercise3’

that takes a list as its only parameter, and returns a list containing every

possible sublist of the input list.

Examples:

• exercise3([1,2,3,4]) returns

[[],[1],[2],[3],[4],[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,2,3],[2,3,4],[1,2,3,4]].

• exercise3([’a’,2,(0,"zero")]) returns

[[],[’a’],[2],[(0,"zero")],[’a’, 2],[2, (0,"zero")],[’a’, 2, (0,"zero")]].

The order of the elements of the list returned is not important. However,

the order of the elements inside of each list should reflect the order in the

original list. For example, [’a’, 2] is correct, while [2, ’a’] is not.

Exercise 4: English to Pig Latin Translator

Pig Latin is a language game or argot in which English words are altered,

usually by adding a fabricated suffix or by moving the onset or initial consonant or consonant cluster of a word to the end of the word and adding a

vocalic syllable to create such a suffix (Wikipedia).

The following rules are used to translate English into Pig Latin:

• If the word begins with a consonant (including ‘y’), then all letters at

the beginning of the word, up to the first vowel (excluding ‘y’), are

removed and then added to the end of the word, followed by ‘ay’.

Example: ‘computer’ becomes ‘omputercay’ and ‘think’ becomes ‘inkthay’.

• If the word begins with a vowel (not including ‘y’), then ‘way’ is added

to the end of the word.

Example: ‘algorithm’ becomes ‘algorithmway’ and ‘office’ becomes

‘officeway’.

Complete the function ‘exercise4’ that takes a string as the only parameter and return a string representing its Pig Latin translation.

Examples:

• exercise4(‘algorithm’) returns ‘algorithmway’.

• exercise4(‘computer’) returns ‘omputercay’.

The function should correctly handle uppercase letters and punctuation

marks such as commas, periods, question marks and exclamation marks.

You can assume that only the first letter can be uppercase and that punctuation marks can only be at the end of the word.

Example: if an English word begins with an uppercase letter, then

its Pig Latin representation should also begin with an uppercase letter and

the uppercase letter moved to the end of the word should be changed to

lowercase. For example, ‘Computer’ should become ‘Omputercay’. If a

word ends in a punctuation mark, then the punctuation mark should remain

at the end of the word after the transformation has been performed. For

example, ‘Science!’ should become ‘Iencescay!’.

Exercise 5: Morse Code Encoder

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters

as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and

7

dashes (or dits and dahs). Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an

inventor of the telegraph (Wikipedia).

Complete the function ‘exercise5’ that takes a string of letters and numbers as the only parameter and returns a string with its Morse code representation.

Use a period ‘.’ to represent a dot, and a minus sign ‘-’ to represent a

dash. The mapping from letters and numbers to dashes and dots is illustrated in the following figure.

The function should leave a single space between each sequence of dashes

and dots and it should ignore any characters that are not letters or numbers.

Example:

• exercise5(‘Hello, World!’) returns ‘.... . .-.. .-.. --- .-- --- .-. .-.. -..’.

• exercise4(‘Dracarys!!!!’) returns ‘-.. .-. .- -.-. .- .-. -.-- ...’.

Hint: use dictionaries to represent the Morse code table.

Exercise 6: Spelling Out Numbers

Complete the function ‘exercise6’ that takes an integer between 0 and 999

as its only parameter, and returns a string containing the English words for

that number.

• exercise6(21) returns ‘twenty-one’.

• exercise6(191) returns ‘a hundred and ninety-one’.

Hint: Use one or more dictionaries to implement your solution rather

than large if/elif/else constructs.

8

Exercise 7: No Functions without Comments

Complete the function ‘exercise7’ that takes a string containing a filename

as its only parameter. The filename should be a source file. The function

reads the file, identifies functions that are not immediately preceded by a

comment and returns a list of their name (represented as strings).

Python: For the purposes of this exercise, assume that any line that

begins with ‘def’, followed by a space, is the beginning of a function definition. Also, assume that, when the function has a comment, the comment

character, ‘#’, will be the first character on the previous line.

JavaScript: For the purposes of this exercise, assume that any line that

begins with ‘function’, followed by a space, is the beginning of a function

definition. Also, assume that, when the function has a comment, the singleline comment symbol, ‘//’, will be the first character on the previous line.

Exercise 8: Justify any Text

Complete the function ‘exercise8’ taking two parameters, a filename, and

a maximum length (i.e., a strictly positive integer number). The function

opens the file, reads every line, and returns a list of strings where every

string represents a line that is filled as much as possible without exceeding

the given maximum length.

Example: consider a file containing the following lines from ‘Alice’s

Adventures in Wonderland’.

Alice was

beginning to get very tired of sitting by her

sister

on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once

or twice she had peeped into the book her sister

was reading, but it had

no

pictures or conversations in it,"and what is

the use of a book," thought Alice, "without

pictures or conversations?"

The corresponding output for length = 50 would be:

[’Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting’,

’by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing’,

’to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book’,

9

’her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or’,

’conversations in it, "and what is the use of a’,

’book," thought Alice, "without pictures or’,

’conversations?"’]

You do not need to deal with multiple paragraphs of text. That is,

you can group together words from different paragraphs. Finally, you can

assume that no word is longer than the maximum length.

Exercise 9: Knight’s Challenge

Complete the function ‘exercise9’ that takes three parameters: an initial

position, a final position, and a number of moves. The function returns

True if a knight on an empty chessboard can get to the final position from

the starting position in at most the given number of moves; otherwise, the

function returns False. Useful facts:

• A chessboard is an 8x8 square board.

• Each cell of the chessboard is identified by its coordinates: a letter

from ‘a’ to ‘h’ that identifies the column, and a number from 1 to 8

that identifies the row. The positions are provided to the functions

using this format.

• The chessboard contains only the knight, which is located at the specified initial position.

• A knight may move two squares vertically and one square horizontally,

or two squares horizontally and one square vertically.

Examples:

• exercise9(’a1’, ’c5’, 2) returns True.

• exercise9(’c6’, ’h1’, 1) returns False.

Hint: You may want to use recursion.

Exercise 10: War of Species

Complete the function ‘exercise10’ that takes as input a list of strings of

the same length, representing a rectangle grid. The characters in the list

represent the cells of the grid. The cells can take three possible values:

10

• ’X’, representing an individual of the species X.

• ’O’, representing an individual of the species O.

• ’.’, representing an empty cell.

Example:

["X.......", "........", ".......O"]

is a 3x8 grid with an ’X’ in position (1,1) and a ’O’ in position (3,8).

The configuration provided in the list represents the current state of an

environment with two competing species. Every cell interacts with its eight

neighbours, which are the cells that are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally

adjacent. The function should return a list of strings representing the next

state of the environment according to the following rules:

• An empty cell becomes non-empty if it is surrounded by at least two

individuals of the same species. In particular, it becomes an individual

of the most frequent species in its neighbourhood. In case of a draw

between the species, the cell remains empty.

• A non-empty cell becomes empty if it is surrounded by more than six

non-empty cells, regardless of their species.

• A non-empty cell becomes empty if it is surrounded by less than three

members of its species.

• A non-empty cell becomes empty if it is surrounded by more members

of the opposite species than members of its species.

• In any other circumstances, a cell does not change its value.

You can assume that the format of the input list of strings is correct.

Example: The initial environment

["XX......", "XX....O.", ".....OOO"]

becomes

["XXX.....", "XXX..OOO", "XX....O."]

Learning Outcomes Assessed

• LO1: Use high-level programming languages to complete programming

tasks.

• LO2: Demonstrate familiarity with programming concepts, simple

data-structures and algorithms.

Criteria for assessment

Credit will be awarded against the following criteria.

Each exercise can be awarded a maximum of 10 marks. Therefore, perfectly solving five exercises will give you 50 marks (pass), and perfectly

solving ten exercises will give you 100 marks.

Each exercise is marked for both function (8 marks max) and style/quality

(2 marks max). Exercises that are not a real attempt at solving the problem

presented will receive zero marks.

Functionality [8 marks/exercise max] The functional part of the submission is automatically marked by scripts that run the completed function

against a set of test cases. You will be provided with two test cases per exercise. During marking, each exercise will be tested against four test cases,

including the two provided. A test should take less than three seconds to

complete, otherwise, it is considered failed. For each language (Python and

JavaScript) and exercise, passing one test will award you 1 mark. Therefore,

the maximum functionality mark of 8 will be given only if all the tests are

passed in both languages.

Code quality and style [2 marks/exercise max] Each version of the

exercise (i.e., Python and JavaScript) is assessed independently, according

to the following criteria:

12

High quality and style (50-100%,

0.5-1 marks per exercise)

Low quality and style (0-50%, 0-0.5

marks per exercise)

Code is elegant

Code has no redundancies

Code is well commented

Code is perfectly modular (i.e.,

appropriate functions and/or classes

defined)

Code makes smart use of built-in

language features and classes.

Code is messy or overly verbose

Code has multiple redundancies and

repetitions

Code is lacking in meaningful

comments

Code is disorganised

Code does not make use of language

features

Therefore, an exercise solved in only one language could achieve at most

one of the style/quality marks. To obtain both marks, the exercise must be

solved in both languages. Also, only exercises that pass at least two tests

are evaluated for style and quality.

Feedback and suggestion for future learning

Feedback on your coursework will address the above criteria. Feedback and

marks will be returned on the return date via Learning Central and/or email.

The feedback from this assignment will be useful for your second programming assignment, and will also be relevant for any future programming

tasks.

Submission Instructions

All coursework should be submitted via upload to Learning Central.

Description Type Name

Python Code 1 .py file [Student number].py

Replace [Student number] with your Cardiff’s user name, which is typically a letter ’c’ (or ’d’) + your student number, e.g. c1234567.

Any code submitted will be run on a system equivalent to the laptops

provided to the students, and must be submitted as stipulated in the instructions above. The code should run without any changes being required

to the submitted code, including editing of filenames.

13

Any deviation from the submission instructions above (including the

number and types of files submitted) may result in a deduction of up to

10% from the overall mark.

Staff reserve the right to invite students to a meeting to discuss coursework submissions.

Support for assessment

Questions about the assessment can be asked on https://stackoverflow.com/c/comsc/

and tagged with ‘[CMT120]’, during Tutorial lectures in Weeks 3-11, and

in the Drop-in Practical Support sessions. It is important to notice that

only general guidance will be provided. The tasks of solving the exercises,

defining the logic and debugging the code (among others) are the key focus

of the assessment and therefore a responsibility of the students.
