Unit 5 Session 1 (Click for link to problem statements)

Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

• What happens when the choose() method is called on a Pokemon that is not caught?
  • The method should indicate that the Pokemon is still wild.

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Add a method choose() to the Pokemon class that checks the caught status and prints a message based on whether the Pokemon is caught or not.

1) Add a method `choose` to the class. 2) In `choose`, check if the Pokemon `is_caught`. 3) If caught, print "<Pokemon name> I choose you!". 4) If not caught, print "<Pokemon name> is wild! Catch them if you can!".

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use the f-string for dynamic text output in Python.
• Misunderstanding the condition for checking is_caught status.

class Pokemon(): def __init__(self, name, types): self.name = name self.types = types self.is_caught = False def print_pokemon(self): print( { "name": self.name, "types": self.types, "is_caught": self.is_caught }) def catch(self): self.is_caught = True def choose(self): if self.is_caught: print(f"{self.name} I choose you!") else: print(f"{self.name} is wild! Catch them if you can!")
