About the test

The Python online test assesses knowledge of programming in the Python language and commonly used parts of the Python Standard Library. This test requires solving live coding problems in Python.

The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:

  • Working with Python collections and language constructs.
  • Using proper algorithms and data structures to optimize application performance.
  • Serializing to/from JSON to handle web requests.

A good Python developer needs a solid understanding of the Python programming language and knowledge of its data structures and language constructs to write robust and maintainable code.

A megastore offers three types of discounts, which are represented as DiscountType enum.

Implement the get_discounted_price function which should take the total weight of the shopping cart, the total price, and the discount type. It should return the final discounted price based on the discount schemes as shown in the promotional video below:

For example, the following code:

print(get_discounted_price(12, 100, DiscountType.WEIGHT))

should print:

A turn-based strategy game has a grid with water and land. The grid contains a True value where it's water and False where it's land.

The player controls a boat unit with a particular movement pattern. It can only move to fixed destinations from its current position as shown in the image below:

movement pattern

The boat can only move in a direct path through water to the possible destinations, so a destination will become unreachable if there is land in the way. 

Implement the can_travel_to function, that checks whether a destination is reachable by the boat. It should return True for destinations that are reachable according to the pattern above, and False for unreachable or out of bounds destinations which are outside the grid. 

For example, consider the following code:

gameMatrix = [
    [False, True,  True,  False, False, False],
    [True,  True,  True,  False, False, False],
    [True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
    [False, True,  True,  False, True,  True],
    [False, True,  True,  True,  False, True],
    [False, False, False, False, False, False],
]

print(can_travel_to(gameMatrix, 3, 2, 2, 2)) # True, Valid move
print(can_travel_to(gameMatrix, 3, 2, 3, 4)) # False, Can't travel through land
print(can_travel_to(gameMatrix, 3, 2, 6, 2)) # False, Out of bounds

The following image shows valid and invalid destinations when the boat is in the position (3, 2):

Decorative quote

Simple, straight-forward technical testing

TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
