Square Spiral
Nikola picks up a strange circuit board. All of its elements are connected in a spiral and it is possible to connect the neighboring elements vertically and horizontally.
The map of the circuit consists of a series of square cells. The first element in the center is marked as 1, and continuing in a clockwise spiral, each other elements is marked in ascending order. On the map, you can move (connect cells) vertically and horizontally. You can help Nikola find the manhattan distance between any two elements on the map. For example, the distance between cells 1 and 9 is two moves and the distance between 24 and 9 is one move.
Input : Two marks of cells as an integers.
Output : The manhattan distance between the two cells as an integer.
Example:
find_distance(1, 9) == 2 find_distance(9, 1) == 2 find_distance(10, 25) == 1 find_distance(5, 9) == 4
How it is used: This task will help you examine the non-standard coordinate systems. Sometime this model of the coordinates is using in the topography. And this task is related with the Ulam spiral (the prime Spiral). The Ulam spiral is a simple method of visualizing the prime numbers that reveals the apparent tendency of certain quadratic polynomials to generate unusually large numbers of primes
Precondition:
0 < first < 1000
0 < second < 1000
first != second
CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.
In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)
Install CheckiO Client first:
pip3 install checkio_client
Configure your tool
checkio --domain=py config --key=
Sync solutions into your local folder
checkio sync
(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)
checkio serv -d
Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon
checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium
Read more here about other functionality that the checkio client provides. Feel free to submit an issue in case of any difficulties.
