Question

Using Python programming, create a function that takes a string representation of one digit of the zip code, and returns the string of bars representing that digit. Then create a function that takes a string representation of a 5 digit zip code and returns the string of bars representing the entire zip code, including the check sum and frame bars.  The check digit makes the sum of the 5 digits a multiple of 10. So if the zip code is 12111, the check digit would be 4. Use | and : for the tall and short bars.

Explanation / Answer

def returnBars(x):

if x=='0':

return '||:::'

if x=='1':

return ':::||'

if x == '2':

return '::|:|'

if x=='3':

return '::||:'

if x=='4':

return ':|::|'

if x=='5':

return ':|:|:'

if x=='6':

return ':||::'

if x=='7':

return '|:::|'

if x=='8':

return '|::|:'

if x=='9':

return '|:|::'

def main(y):

bars = returnBars(y[0]) + returnBars(y[1]) + returnBars(y[2]) + returnBars(y[3]) + returnBars(y[4])

checks = 10 - ((int(y[0]) + int(y[1]) + int(y[2]) + int(y[3]) + int(y[4])) % 10)

return (checks, bars)
