30 Days of Code — Day 3

As a forcing function to get myself into the habit of writing these articles — I have decided to write an article for each day of the 30 Days of Code challenge from Hacker Rank.

The Task

Given an integer, n, perform the following conditional actions:

• If n is odd, print Weird.
• If n is even and in the inclusive range of 2 to 5 , print Not Weird.
• If n is even and in the inclusive range of 6 to 20 , print Weird.
• If nis even and greater than 20, print Not Weird.

Complete the stub code provided in your editor to print whether or not n is weird.

The Code

The Result

>? 3
… Weird
>? 24
… Not Weird
>? 18
… Weird

Conclusion

I actually overcomplicated this one. I was going to create a function to define what constituted ‘weird’ versus ‘not weird’. But I decided to keep it simple. While not the most elegant solution it was within the defined task and solved the problem.
