Can anyone find any bug or problem with my code? I can't.

Question

name = input()
agent_count = int(input())
people = input()
drivers = people.split()
drivers.append(name)
drivers.sort()
batch = 1
license_duration = 1
if len(drivers)%2 == 0:
length = len(drivers)
else:
length = len(drivers) + 1

for person in drivers:
if person == name:
pos = drivers.index(person)

for count in range(agent_count, length+1, agent_count):
if pos < count:
license_duration = batch * 20
else:
batch = batch + 1
print(license_duration)

Answer 1

// There's 2 errors:
- If the inputs are empty, the program will be stopped.
- The variable "license_duration" is not defined, define it with "None" as default value.

Inputs by default in python:

Answer 2

Currently, you are defining the variable "license_duration" inside 'if' block but that 'if' block is not getting executed because of logic and hence giving error.

I didn't find any other problem with the code. If you can tell me what you want to achieve then maybe I will be able help you :)

Before printing the last line, you need to define license_duration like this:

license_duration = batch * 20

Currently, above line is inside 'if' statement and is not getting executed.

I don't know the exact reason but I think this is the case when we have more agents and less drivers. This causes the for loop to not execute at all.

Btw nice logic :) you have done some extra checks in your code and I think that is good.

Answer 4

If you can't then what's wrong? Are you coming across an error?

Answer 5

Sandeep you were right.
Thanks everyone. I corrected the mistakes and it's working now. I passed.

Answer 6

Even after correcting the license_duration definition, I'm not able to pass test case 3 of 'new driver's license '. Code is giving results. Please try seeing again what's wrong with the code.
