You are NOT allowed to use the following constructs unless specified in the assignment directions. Using the following constructs will result in 0 (zero) for the entire submissio (assignment, timed test, etc.). The restricted items are as follows: - Concepts not discussed in lectures yet - String functions - Member functions - Exceptions (can use) : Ien () and x=x+[y1,y2,y3] - Built-in functions \& types - Exceptions (can use): str( ), readline( ), open( ), close( ), write( ), read( ), range( ), split( ) - Cannot use .append, sort, etc. - Cannot use "Slicing" - Cannot use "list comprehension" - Cannot use "not in" (together) - Cannot use "in" - not allowed with conditionals - Exception (can use): with range () - Cannot use and \{\} - Exception (can use): mathematical operations (multiply \& exponents) - Data type functions - Exceptions (can use): int(), str (), float () - Break - Continue - Nested Constructs - Exceptions (can use): 2-D list - Multiple returns \& Multiple assignments - Recursion (not allowed unless the question explicitly states otherwise) - Functions within functions (Definitions) -- invocation is fine - Default Parameters - Global variables - Keyword as variable names - while true or without proper condition
