Challenge Notebook¶

Problem: Find the sum of two integers without using the + or - sign.¶

  • Constraints
  • Test Cases
  • Algorithm
  • Code
  • Unit Test
  • Solution Notebook

Constraints¶

  • Can we assume the inputs are valid?
    • No, check for None
  • Can we assume this fits memory?
    • Yes

Test Cases¶

See the LeetCode problem page.

Algorithm¶

Refer to the Solution Notebook. If you are stuck and need a hint, the solution notebook's algorithm discussion might be a good place to start.

Code¶

In [ ]:
class Solution(object):

    def sum_two(self, val):
        # TODO: Implement me
        pass

Unit Test¶

The following unit test is expected to fail until you solve the challenge.

In [ ]:
# %load test_sum_two.py
import unittest


class TestSumTwo(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_sum_two(self):
        solution = Solution()
        self.assertRaises(TypeError, solution.sum_two, None)
        self.assertEqual(solution.sum_two(5, 7), 12)
        self.assertEqual(solution.sum_two(-5, -7), -12)
        self.assertEqual(solution.sum_two(5, -7), -2)
        print('Success: test_sum_two')


def main():
    test = TestSumTwo()
    test.test_sum_two()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
