HINT: You might have an infinite loop in your code.

5 points

It’s the moment you’ve been working towards - the Ultimate Clean Up Challenge! Karel has put together a community litter pick up event for her neighborhood. For the next three weeks, Karel will work with other community members to pick up the litter in the park.

Write a program that has Karel walk around the park and pick up all of the litter. Your program should work regardless of which week it is.

Hint: Use what you’ve learned about if statements and for loops!

Challenge: Can you avoid repeating the same for loops by using a for loop within a for loop? To do this, you may need to use the following hints:

Method A: How can you get Karel to face the same direction at the start of each loop?
Method B: You can use an if/else statement to give Karel options when she asks a question about the world around her: one set of commands for when she answers yes and another set of commands for when she answers no. Check out the DOCS tab to learn how to write an if/else statement in Python. If you go this route, you might need Karel to ask questions about which direction she is facing by using facing_east() and facing_west().

Color

# Paints a square red.
paint(color['red'])


# Colors:
color['red']
color['blue']
color['green']
color['yellow']
color['cyan']
color['orange']
color['white']
color['black']
color['gray']
color['purple']


# Creates a color using a color string
# Syntax: paint('color_string')
paint('cyan')


# Color Strings:
'red'
'blue'
'green'
'yellow'
'cyan'
'orange'
'white'
'black'
'gray'
'purple'


# Creates a color using an RGB value to paint
# Syntax: paint('rgb(red_value, green_value, blue_value)')
paint('rgb(130, 50, 32)')


# Creates a color using a Hex color code string
# Syntax: paint(hex_color_string)
paint('#63c151')


# Determine if a square is a certain color
if color_is(color['red']):
    move()
        Python

Random

# Returns true 50% of the time
random_chance()
# Returns true probability percentage of the time
random_chance(probability)
# Returns true 20% of the time.
random_chance(0.2)
# Example
if random_chance(0.8):
        put_ball()

Functions

Writing a Function

Writing a function is like teaching karel a new word.

Naming Functions: You can name your functions whatever you want, but you can't have spaces in the function name.

Remember that commands in functions must be indented one level

def turn_right():
    turn_left()
    turn_left()
    turn_left()

def turn_around():
    turn_left()
    turn_left()

def your_function_name():
  # Code that will run when you make a call to
  # this function.Python

Calling a Function

You call a function to tell the computer to actually carry out the new command.

# Call the turnn_around() function once
turn_around()

# Call the turn_right() function 2 times
turn_right()
turn_right()Python

Conditional Statements

Remember that comands in conditional statements must be indented one level.

If statements

if condition:
    #code that will run if the condition is truePython

If/Else statements

if condition:
    #code that will run if the condition is true
else:
    #code that will run if condition is not truePython

Example of if statements

if front_is_clear():
  move()

if balls_present():
  take_ball()
else:
  move()Python

Karel Conditions

Don't forget the () at the end!

front_is_clear()
left_is_clear()
right_is_clear()

facing_north()
facing_south()
facing_east()
facing_west()

balls_present()
            Python

front_is_blocked()
left_is_blocked()
right_is_blocked()

not_facing_north()
not_facing_south()
not_facing_east()
not_facing_west()

no_balls_present()
            Python

Loops

Remember that commands in a loop statement must be indented one level.

While Loops

while CONDITION:
  # Code that will run while the CONDITION is true.
  # Once the CONDITION is no longer true,
  # it will stop.Python

Example of while loops

# This moves Karel to a wall
while front_is_clear():
    move()Python

For Loops

for i in range(COUNT):
  # Code that will run 'COUNT' timesPython

Example of for loops

# This puts down 10 balls */
for i in range(10):
    put_ball()Python

You can have multiple statements or function calls in a for loop.

# This puts down five balls and moves after each one
for i in range(5):
    put_ball()
    move()Python

Use for-loops when you want to repeat something a fixed number of times.

Use while-loops when you want to repeat something as long as a condition is true.
