| 6 | +## Prologue |
| 7 | +
|
| 8 | +You're part of a team porting MS Paint into the browser and currently working on a new UI component that allows user to control the canvas zoom level. |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | +According to the wireframes delivered to you in PowerPoint format the user should be able to *cycle* through specified zoom levels by clicking a button in the UI repeatedly. The reverse direction should work with shift key held. |
| 11 | +
|
| 12 | +A new function is needed to support this behavior, so you alt-tab to Visual Studio and get to work. |
| 13 | +
|
| 14 | +--- |
| 15 | +
|
| 16 | +## Instructions |
| 17 | +
|
| 18 | +Implement a function which when given the arguments |
| 19 | +
|
| 20 | +1. Direction to which to cycle the current value |
| 21 | +2. List of values |
| 22 | +3. Current value |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | +returns the value next to current value in the specified direction. |
| 25 | +
|
| 26 | +The function should pick the next value from the other side of the list in case there are no values in the given direction. |
| 27 | +
|
| 28 | +## Examples |
| 29 | +
|
| 30 | +``` haskell |
| 31 | +cycleList R [1,2,3] 1 -- => Just 2 |
| 32 | +cycleList L [1,2,3] 1 -- => Just 3 |
| 33 | +cycleList R [1,2,3] 0 -- => Nothing |
| 34 | +cycleList L ["foo", "bar", "xyz"] "bar" -- => Just "foo" |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | +``` javascript |
| 37 | +cycle(1, [1,2,3], 1) // => 2 |
| 38 | +// Given the direction 1, returns the value next to 1 on the right |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | +cycle(-1, [1,2,3], 1) // => 3 |
| 41 | +// Given the direction -1 and value 1, wraps around list returning the last element |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | +cycle(1, [1,2,3], 0) // => null |
| 44 | +// 0 does not exist in the list, returns null |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | +cycle(1, [1,2,2,3], 2) // => 2 |
| 47 | +// Corner case: multiple instances of given value, picks next relative to first occurrence |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | +``` coffeescript |
| 50 | +# Given the direction 1, returns the value next to 1 on the right |
| 51 | +cycle(1, [1,2,3], 1) # => 2 |
| 52 | +
|
| 53 | +# Given the direction -1 and value 1, wraps around list returning the last element |
| 54 | +cycle(-1, [1,2,3], 1) # => 3 |
| 55 | +
|
| 56 | +# 0 does not exist in the list, returns null |
| 57 | +cycle(1, [1,2,3], 0) # => null |
| 58 | +
|
| 59 | +# Corner case: multiple instances of given value, picks next relative to first occurrence |
| 60 | +cycle(1, [1,2,2,3], 2) # => 2 |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | +``` python |
| 63 | +# Given the direction 1, returns the value next to 1 on the right |
| 64 | +cycle(1, [1,2,3], 1) # => 2 |
| 65 | +
|
| 66 | +# Given the direction -1 and value 1, wraps around list returning the last element |
| 67 | +cycle(-1, [1,2,3], 1) # => 3 |
| 68 | +
|
| 69 | +# 0 does not exist in the list, returns null |
| 70 | +cycle(1, [1,2,3], 0) # => null |
| 71 | +
|
| 72 | +# Corner case: multiple instances of given value, picks next relative to first occurrence |
| 73 | +cycle(1, [1,2,2,3], 2) # => 2 |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | +""" |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +def cycle(d, v, c): |
| 78 | + if c not in v: |
| 79 | + return None |
| 80 | + i = v.index(c) |
| 81 | + try: |
| 82 | + return v[i + d] |
| 83 | + except IndexError: |
| 84 | + return v[0] |
