Question

I need help writing a code to solve this problem.

(1) (20pts) Write programs in Python or C++ to to solve the following problem: Steve, John and Luke make their living as carpenter, painter and plumber, though not necessarily respectively. • The painter recently tried to get the carpenter to do some work for him, but was told that the carpenter was out doing some remodeling for the plumber. The plumber makes more money than the painter does. Luke makes more money than Steve does. John has never heard of Luke.

The question asks "What position does each man fill? Submit a listing(code), and the output of your program"

Answer 1

Hello, the answer to the below question is as follows:

#Workers we have is : steve, john and luke
#S-steve; J-John; l-Luke
worker=['S','J','L']
#positions which are available for each man
#A-painter; B-Plumber; C-Carpenter
position=['A','B','C']
#since painter had a talk with carpenter regarding some work so they heard of each other
#since carpenter was doing remodelling of plumber so they also heard of each other
possible_heard=[('C','A'),('C','B'),('A','B')]
heard=[('C','A'),('C','B')]
not_heard=[]

for i in possible_heard:
    if i not in heard:
        not_heard.append(i)
#print(
#since john has never heard of luke
#not_heard must have their set
worker_never_heard=[('J','L')]
#d-dictionary having result sets
d={}
for i in worker:
    if i in worker_never_heard[0]:
        d[i]=list(not_heard[0])
    else:
        x=[]
        for j in position:
            if j not in not_heard[0]:
                x.append(j)
            d[i]=x
          
#since Its is give that plumber makes more money than painter
money_comp=[('B',1),('A',0)]
#Luke makes more money than John
max_index=0
for i in money_comp:
    if i[1]>0:
        max_index=money_comp.index(i)
else:
    x=1
d['L']=list(money_comp[max_index][0])
d['J']=list(money_comp[x][0])
print(d)
print("Abbreviation---> S-steve; J-John; l-Luke")
for i,j in d.items():
    if j[0]=='A':
        print(i,": Painter")
    elif j[0]=='B':
        print(i,": Plumber")
    elif j[0]=='C':
        print(i,": Carpenter")

and the output is:

$python main.py
{'S': ['C'], 'J': ['A'], 'L': ['B']}
Abbreviation---> S-steve; J-John; l-Luke
('S', ': Carpenter')
('J', ': Painter')
('L', ': Plumber')

comment for any query
thanks
