Given a person's allergy score, determine whether or not they're allergic to a given item, and their full list of allergies.
An allergy test produces a single numeric score which contains the information about all the allergies the person has (that they were tested for).
The list of items (and their value) that were tested are:
- eggs (1)
- peanuts (2)
- shellfish (4)
- strawberries (8)
- tomatoes (16)
- chocolate (32)
- pollen (64)
- cats (128)
So if Tom is allergic to peanuts and chocolate, he gets a score of 34.
Now, given just that score of 34, your program should be able to say:
- Whether Tom is allergic to any one of those allergens listed above.
- All the allergens Tom is allergic to.
Note: a given score may include allergens not listed above (i.e. allergens that score 256, 512, 1024, etc.). Your program should ignore those components of the score. For example, if the allergy score is 257, your program should only report the eggs (1) allergy.
Sometimes it is necessary to raise an exception. When you do this, you should include a meaningful error message to indicate what the source of the error is. This makes your code more readable and helps significantly with debugging. Not every exercise will require you to raise an exception, but for those that do, the tests will only pass if you include a message.
To raise a message with an exception, just write it as an argument to the exception type. For example, instead of
raise Exception, you should write:
raise Exception("Meaningful message indicating the source of the error")To run the tests, run the appropriate command below (why they are different):
- Python 2.7:
py.test allergies_test.py - Python 3.4+:
pytest allergies_test.py
Alternatively, you can tell Python to run the pytest module (allowing the same command to be used regardless of Python version):
python -m pytest allergies_test.py
-v: enable verbose output-x: stop running tests on first failure--ff: run failures from previous test before running other test cases
For other options, see python -m pytest -h
Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the $EXERCISM_WORKSPACE/python/allergies directory.
You can find your Exercism workspace by running exercism debug and looking for the line that starts with Workspace.
