Question

Is anyone familiar with programming in Swift? That is the language the solution must be implemented in.

Problem 2: Mini Snakes and Ladders (3 points) Snakes and laders You are going to build a function that mimics the classic board game snakes & ladders. The game from square 1 to square 30. On the virtual board the ladders are positioned at 1, 4, and 13, which take you to 23, 15, and 29 respectively. The snakes are at positions 16, 25, and 27 that take you to 3, 18, and 6 respectively. Write a function that takes currentPosition and diceRoll as parameters, and does the following requirements: 1. The current position can be any integer between 1 and 29, and the dice roll can be any integer between 1 and 6 – print a message if out of ranges. 2. Calculate the final position based on the current position, dice roll, and the snakes and ladders - print a message with showing the final position. 3. If the final position is greater or equal to 30, print message to tell the player that he/she won.

Answer 1

Hi,

Please find below program in Swift which will full fill your all 3 requirements.

Open xCode and select "Get Started with playground" option, and then select "Blank" and just copy past below code.

And run it, you will get result. Like you can pass different values in method call playYourTrun. I make it bold below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------Program in Swift-----------------------------------------------------------------

import UIKit

//This method check for snakes and ladders position logic.

//calculated_position is position which we will get after adding rolled dice value to current position

func getFinalPosition(calculated_position: Int)-> Int{

switch calculated_position{

case 1:

return 23

case 4:

return 15

case 13:

return 29

case 16:

return 3

case 25:

return 18

case 27:

return 6

default:

return calculated_position

}

}

//This is our main mehtod where we will pass current postion and dice value

func playYourTrun(currentPosition: Int,diceRoll: Int)->String{

if(currentPosition >= 30 || currentPosition<0){

return "Current Posstion Out Of Range."

}

if(diceRoll > 6 || diceRoll < 0){

return "Dice Value Out of Range."

}

  

let finalPosition = getFinalPosition(calculated_position: (currentPosition+diceRoll))

if(finalPosition >= 30){

return "You Won."

}else{

return "Current Position is \(finalPosition)"

}

  

}

playYourTrun(currentPosition: 28,diceRoll: 6)
