This week’s missions: Cut Sentence, Speech Module and Life Counter

Hi, {{user.username}}

Great news! We’ve significantly improved website’s speed performance and fixed some bugs. Enjoy!

Test yourself and have fun with the missions we have for you:

These missions aren’t new but they are included to the Monthly LeaderBoard and Editors Choice Solutions.

The first mission is called “Cut Sentence” and here you should truncate a sentence to a length that does not exceed a given number of characters.

cutSentence("Hi my name is Alex", 4) == "Hi..."
cutSentence("Hi my name is Alex", 8) == "Hi my..."
cutSentence("Hi my name is Alex", 18) == "Hi my name is Alex"
cutSentence("Hi my name is Alex", 20) == "Hi my name is Alex"

The second one is the “Speech Module” mission where you have to write a new speech module for the robot.

speechModule(4)=='four'
speechModule(143)=='one hundred forty three'
speechModule(12)=='twelve'
speechModule(101)=='one hundred one'
speechModule(212)=='two hundred twelve'
speechModule(40)=='forty'

And the third is the “Life Counter” where your task is to count how many live cells will be on the grid at the Nth tick.

lifeCounter(((0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0),
             (0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0),
             (1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0),
             (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1),
             (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1),
             (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0),
             (1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)), 4) == 15
