Zone priority for overlapping fills in PCB Design - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to set the priority of a zone fill.

PCB Design

zone.setPriority([1])

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

B5

C15

D20

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string instead of an integer for priority.

Setting priority to zero which disables priority.

The priority value 10 is commonly used to set a medium priority for zone fills.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to check if a zone has higher priority than another.

PCB Design

if zone1.priority [1] zone2.priority:

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

A<

B==

C>

D<=

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using < instead of > which reverses the logic.

Using equality check instead of comparison.

Higher priority means a greater numeric value, so use > to compare.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly assign priority to overlapping zones.

PCB Design

zoneA.priority = [1]

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

A'high'

B10

Cpriority_high

DNone

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Assigning string values instead of integers.

Leaving priority as None which disables it.

Priority must be an integer value, not a string or None.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set and compare zone priorities correctly.

PCB Design

zone1.setPriority([1])
if zone1.priority [2] zone2.priority:

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

A15

B>

C<

D5

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using < instead of > in comparison.

Setting priority to a lower value than intended.

Set zone1 priority to 15 and check if it is greater than zone2's priority.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary mapping zones to their priorities and filter high priority zones.

PCB Design

zone_priorities = [1]: zone.getPriority() for zone in zones if zone.getPriority() [2] [3]

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

Azone.name

C10

Dzone.id

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using zone.id instead of zone.name as dictionary key.

Using < instead of > in the filter condition.

Use zone.name as key, filter zones with priority greater than 10.
