Python Solution for HackerRank Problem: Compare the Triplets
Problem solving is the real fun to feel, Let's solve another problem called Compare the Triplets from hackerRank using python. Let's jump into it.
Problem
Alice and Bob each created one problem for HackerRank. A reviewer rates the two challenges, awarding points on a scale from 1 to 100 for three categories: problem clarity, originality, and difficulty.
The rating for Alice's challenge is the triplet a = (a[0], a[1], a[2]), and the rating for Bob's challenge is the triplet b = (b[0], b[1], b[2]).
The task is to find their comparison points by comparing a[0] with b[0], a[1] with b[1], and a[2] with b[2].
- If a[i] > b[i], then Alice is awarded 1 point.
- If a[i] < b[i], then Bob is awarded 1 point.
- If a[i] = b[i], then neither person receives a point.
Comparison points is the total points a person earned.
Given a and b, determine their respective comparison points.
Example
a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [3, 2, 1]
- For elements *0*, Bob is awarded a point because a[0] .
- For the equal elements a[1] and b[1], no points are earned.
- Finally, for elements 2, a[2] > b[2] so Alice receives a point.
The return array is [1, 1] with Alice's score first and Bob's second.
Function Description
Complete the function compareTriplets in the editor below.
compareTriplets has the following parameter(s):
- int a[3]: Alice's challenge rating
- int b[3]: Bob's challenge rating
Return
- int[2]: Alice's score is in the first position, and Bob's score is in the second.
Input Format
The first line contains 3 space-separated integers, a[0], a[1], and a[2], the respective values in triplet a.
The second line contains 3 space-separated integers, b[0], b[1], and b[2], the respective values in triplet b.
Constraints
- 1 ≤ a[i] ≤ 100
- 1 ≤ b[i] ≤ 100
Sample Input
5 6 7 3 6 10
Sample Output
1 1
Explanation
In this example:
- a = (a[0], a[1], a[2]) = (5,6, 7)
- b = (b[0], b[1], b[2]) =(3, 6, 10)
Now, let's compare each individual score:
- a[0] > b[0], so Alice receives 1 point.
- a[1] = b[1], so nobody receives a point.
- ,a[2] < b[2], so Bob receives 1 point.
Alice's comparison score is , and Bob's comparison score is . Thus, we return the array .
Sample Input 1
17 28 30 99 16 8
Sample Output 1
2 1
Explanation 1
Comparing the 0 th elements,17 < 99 so Bob receives a point.
Comparing the 1 st and 2 nd elements,28 > 26 and 30 > 8 so Alice receives two points.
The return array is [2,1] .
