Question

This question covers materials up to Seminar 4. The data structure to use is List. Do not use nested list, set or dictionary for this question. Keep the program modular by defining other functions if necessary.

Read the entire question before attempting. You need to submit each part individually.
a) TOTO is a legalised form of lottery sold in Singapore. To play TOTO, the buyer selects 6 numbers from 1 to 49 by marking them on a bet slip.
Write the following functions:
ticket Validator(numbers: list): boolean
- This function returns True if
- the given numbers (in a list) are all unique
- all numbers are within 1 to 49
Otherwise, return False.
For example,
- ticketValidator([5,47,6,32,49]) returns True
- ticketValidator([5,6,7,6,45,31]) returns False
- ticketValidator([51,6,7]) returns False

b) Another way to place a bet is through "QuickPick", where the computer randomly selects 6 unique numbers for the buyer.
Write the following function:
quickPick(): list
This function returns a list containing 6 unique random numbers from 1 to 49. Make use of the ticketValidator() function in part (a), where possible.

Answer 1

The ticketValidator function checks if given numbers are valid and quickPick generates random numbers for TOTO lottery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function ticketValidator(numbers: list): boolean checks if the given numbers are all unique and within the range of 1 to 49. If both conditions are met, it returns True; otherwise, it returns False. The function quickPick(): list generates a list of 6 unique random numbers from 1 to 49. It uses the ticketValidator() function to ensure the generated numbers are valid.
