Question

Add the following methods to your Boat Race class:

  • Write a method called add_racer which takes in a Boat object and adds it to the end of the racers list. The function does not return anything.

 

  • Write a method called print_racers which loops through racers and prints the Boat objects. This function takes in no parameters (other than self) and returns nothing.

 

  • Write a method called count that returns the number of racers.

 

  • Write a method called race. 
    • The race function calls the move function for all of the racers in the BoatRace. 
    • Once all the racers have moved, call the print_racers method to display information about the progress of each boat.
    • Then, check if any of the racer’s current_progress is greater than or equal to the race’s distance. 
    • If so, then return a list of all of the racers whose current_progress is greater than or equal to distance. 
    • If no racer has finished the race then repeat the calls to move and check until at least one racer has finished the race.

 

Examples:

Copy the following if __name__ == "__main__" block into your hw11.py file, and comment out tests for parts of the class you haven’t implemented yet.  The lines that have output include the expected value next to them as a comment (note that some lines are random and your output will not match exactly).

 

The first race example in the code below should finish within a few turns, and unless you get extremely unlucky, The Leaf should win a solo victory almost every time due to its top speed.  The second race, on the other hand, should almost always finish in a single round with three or four boats tied for victory.

    print(len(second_result)) #4
