Algorithm Challenges

Algorithm Challenges

1. Input

   • Challenge 1
     • Algorithm challenge 1 does not require any user input other than the starting of the program
   • Challenge 2
     • Algorithm challenge 2 consists of user inputs that cause a certain function, these inputs are particular strings that perform different actions
   • Challenge 3
     • Algorithm Challenge 3 uses user input in the form of strings to alter the outcome of the circumstances that the code runs through, such as where to hit the dragon

2. Processing

   • Challenge 1
     • Algorithm Challenge 1 processes the variables consisting of numbers to choose a random integer that can be used for the map position
   • Challenge 2
     • Algorithm Challenge 2 uses variables to proccess whether the user can do the actions that they are inputting
   • Challenge 3
     • Algorithm Challenge 3 processes the users inputs and returns the different outcomes that the user inputs are based on

3. output

   • Challenge 1
     • Algorithm Challenge 1 uses processing to output a random variable that outputs as the players starting location
   • Challenge 2
     • Algorithm Challenge 2 uses variables that have been processed to output information about the users items and statistics
   • Challenge 3
     • Algorithm Challenge 3 outputs variables that have been changed depending on how the user has interacted with the puzzles that the dragon fight consists of

4. algorithm constructs

   • Challenge 1
     • Algorithm Challenge 1 uses iteration to repeatedly set the map location to a random number and uses an if statement to control the numbers that the variable will be finalised as
   • Challenge 2
     • Algorithm Challenge 2 uses multiple instances of for and if statements to check for variables and limit the output to meet the current situation
   • Challenge 3
     • Algorithm Challenge 3 uses mostly if statements to control the outputs depending on the inputs of the user, iteration in the form of a while loop is also used
