I'm really looking for the solutions as well. I found out about the class late (yesterday) and would really like to be able to proceed with the course without a missing assignment over my head.

Answer 13

@Suchandrarao that code will find the minimum payment required to pay off a debt (with interest) in twelve months

Answer 14

It looks to me like you are doing the "first" problem set...not counting the one where you just set up python. The similar problem set in the 2011 course has it's answers at the bottom of the 4th lecture for 2011, in a zip file. Here: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00sc-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-spring-2011/unit-1/lecture-4-machine-interpretation-of-a-program/ps1_sol.zip.

Answer 15

Of course I recommend you don't look at that until you have tried for quite a few hours yourself, but its there...

Answer 16

I've actually seen those previously and unless I'm doing something wrong, they don't match the 'test answers' they suggest you use before submitting.

Answer 17

I recall someone else saying they were getting an answer...450, if I recall...and the supposedly correct answer was 440. So, I ran it in my code and also got the same answer they did (have to admit I'm not really an expert here). So, I made an Excel spreadsheet, and it came up with the same answer too... So, I have to ask...are you getting 450 and the supposedly correct answer is 440?

Answer 18

If the question you're referencing is "test case 2" under problem 2, then yes I'm having the same issue.

Answer 19

personally, i think 450 is correct. i know one other person got that, i got that, and like i said, an Excel file which simply takes the original balance, times the interest rate, minus the payment, 12 times, yields a paid-off balance on 450, but a not paid-off balance on 440. Now, I'm not in your class and don't actually have your instruction sheet, so maybe there is some subtle thing, but otherwise thats how it seems to me.

Answer 20

For what it's worth, I can think of one way 440 might be right...if you subtract the payment BEFORE you add the interest I think 440 might be right...so then that is just a question of what the instructions said to do...

Answer 21

Well, I'm either just going to do the assignment late or genuinely attempt it myself after I've finished the lecture sequences and finger exercises. Tick tock until 10pm, I suppose! Thank you for the information, in any case.
