Kakuru Conrad Internship Assesment

Sunbird AI Internship Assessment Exercise

This assessment consists of 2 parts:

• Programming exercises.
• Build a simple command line app using the Sunbird AI API.

Getting started

• Fork this repository to create your own copy. (More info about forking a repository)
• Clone your repository to access it locally: git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/internship-assessment.git. (Replace <your-username> with your Github username.)
• Create a python virtual environment: python -m venv venv
• Activate the virtual environment:
  • Linux/Mac: source venv/bin/activate
  • Windows: venv\Scripts\activate.bat
• Install the required python packages: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run the command pytest. (The tests should be failing, it's your task to make them pass. See below for instructions)

Part 1: Programming exercises

There are 2 programming exercises designed to test your competency with the python programming language.

You can find the starter code and task descriptions in the exercises/basics.py file in this repo.

Run the following command: pytest. You will see that all the tests are failing.

Your goal is to implement the 2 functions collatz and distinct_numbers to make the above failing tests pass.

You can keep running the pytest command to see which tests are still failing and fix your code accordingly.

Part 2: Write a simple python translation script

Write a simple python script in a file translate.py that translates text to-and-from English to 5 local Ugandan languages.

Your script should do the following:

• Ask the user to choose a source language (English, Luganda, Runyankole, Ateso, Lugbara or Acholi).
• If the source language is English, ask the user to choose a target language, otherwise set English as the target language.
• Ask the user for text to translate (should be in the source language chosen).
• Translate the input text into the target language.

A sample interaction is as follows:

(your program): Please choose the source language:
(the user): English
(your program): Please choose the target language: (one of Luganda, Runyankole, Ateso, Lugbara or Acholi):
(the user): Luganda
(your program): Enter the text to translate:
(the user): How are you?
(your program): Oli otya?

This will require you to make use of Sunbird's API. You can find a tutorial here.

To use the API, you'll need an access token which will be sent in the email inviting you to this assessment.
