How to solve "New driver's license" problem without using math.ceil, rather using this method below?

Question

I try another method,
1. First I take input() from user and
2. define function that add user_name in other_4 list,
3. and .sort(),
4. then cut list in chunks by given "agendt_num"
5. Then order existing chunk number that where "me" object exist.
6. Lastly, print(existing_chunk_number * 20)

Orin Cook Because agent will solve the problem of person by their name, that's why it is sorted according to dictionary in alphabetical order. It's in the question.

Answer 4

Orin Cook Altaibaatar Enkhbat Inside the function, the other_names string is split into a list called names, and your_name is appended to this list. The names list is then sorted in alphabetical order. The variable position is assigned the index of your_name in the sorted names list and that's how it works.

Answer 6

Ah, so it is, missed that on my first reading somehow.

Answer 7

Yes I got you Lothar ,actually i have a practice of watching solution early by just practicing 2 3 times and understanding the code and algorithm after that, it doesn't waste my time much on a single problem and I can cover more effectively. That's why i send others too.I will take care of that next time. Thanks for suggestion.

Answer 8

I don't understand what you're trying to do here, especially why you'd sort.

Answer 9

Altaibaatar Enkhbat I think that math.ceil would not be useful in the problem solution.

Since you asked for an alternative approach, here is a way to solve it without sorting:

1. Take inputs from user
2. Split names into a list
3. Loop through the list and count how many names are alphabetically less than or equal to "my" name. (No sorting.)
4. Calculate wait time
