Coding Quiz 5
Worth 4 marks and due Week 8 Thursday @ 9pm
Description
You are provided with a stub in which you need to insert your code where indicated without doing any
changes to the existing code to complete the task. Although it is not needed for this quiz, you may import
any extra module that is already installed in Ed if you wish.
The program randomly generates a grid with 0s and 1s, whose dimension is controlled by user input, as
well as the density of 1s in the grid, and finds out for a given step_number ≥ 1 and a given step_size ≥ 2,
the number of stairs of step_number many steps, with all steps of size step_size.
A stair of 1 step of size 2 is of the form:
1 1
1 1
A stair of 2 steps of size 2 is of the form
1 1
1 1
1 1
A stair of 1 step of size 3 is of the form
1 1 1
1
1 1 1
A stair of 2 steps of size 3 is of the form
1 1 1
1
1 1 1
1
1 1 1
2
The output lists the number of stairs from smallest step sizes to largest step sizes, and for a given step size,
from stairs with the smallest number of steps to stairs with the largest number of stairs.
Your task is to implement the function called stairs_in_grid().
You may possibly define other functions.
The provided stub and the outputs of the sample test cases explain the task to be performed.
