PLEASE SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN PYTHON WITHOUT USING ANY BUILT-IN FUNCTIONS

Question

Suppose you have been hired to develop a musical chair game. In this game there will be 7 participants and all of them will be moving clockwise around a set of 7 chairs organized in a circular manner while a music will be played in the background. You will control the music using random numbers between 0-3.If the generated random number is 1, you will stop the music and if the number of participants who are still in the game is n, the participant at position (n/2) will be eliminated. Each time a participant is eliminated, a chair will be removed and you have to print the player names who are still in the game. The game will end when there will be only one participant left. At the end of the game, display the name of the winner. [Hint: You will need to invoke a method to generate a random number between 0 (inclusive) to 3 (inclusive)]

Answer 1

Not allowed to use any built-in functions...

yet at the end, the name of the winning player is to be displayed...

PRINT is a built-in function...

Are we allowed to generate random numbers using randomInt(), as the problem asks?

That too is a built-in random function.

Can you please be more specific as to which built-in functions that are and are NOT

allowed to be used?

Essentially, you can just put the numbers 1 through 7 in an array and scramble it.

That is the order the players shall be eliminated and the LAST element shall be the winner.

import random

import datetime

players = []

for i in range(7):

players.append(i+1)

random.seed(datetime.time())

for i in range(7):

randIndex = random.randint(0,6)

temp = players[i]

players[i] = players[randIndex]

players[randIndex]=temp

for i in range(7):

print(players[i])

print(" Winner is player # " + str(players[6]))

# built-in functions: range, seed,datetime,time(), randint,print
