Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

CNC Programming

tool_life_counter = [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

B-1

C1

DNone

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Starting the counter at 1 instead of 0.

Using None which is not a number.

The tool life counter should start at zero to count the usage from the beginning.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to increment the tool life counter by one after each use.

CNC Programming

tool_life_counter [1]= 1

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A-

B+

C*

D/

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '-=' which decreases the counter.

Using '*' or '/' which are not for incrementing.

Incrementing by one uses the '+=' operator to add 1 to the current count.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the condition that checks if the tool life has reached its limit.

CNC Programming

if tool_life_counter [1] tool_life_limit:

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A>=

B!=

C<

D==

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '==' which only checks for exact equality.

Using '<' which checks the wrong direction.

The tool should be replaced when the counter is greater than or equal to the limit.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to reset the tool life counter and log the replacement.

CNC Programming

tool_life_counter [1] 0
log_message = 'Tool replaced at count ' + str([2])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A=

B+=

Dtool_life_limit

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '+=' instead of '=' to reset the counter.

Logging the counter instead of the limit.

Reset the counter to zero and log the limit value when the tool is replaced.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary tracking tool usage and check if replacement is needed.

CNC Programming

tool_usage = {: {BLANK_2}} for {{BLANK_2}} in tool_list if tool_life_counter >= tool_life_limit

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Btool_life_limit

Ctool_list

D{

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not using curly braces to create a dictionary.

Mixing up the variable names in the comprehension.

Create a dictionary with keys as tools and values as the life limit, iterating over the tool list.
