Coding Quiz 2
Worth 4 marks and due Week 4 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.
The current code will accept a zero or positive integer (that is, non-strictly negative integer)
with possible leading 0’s and converts it to base 8 (keeping leading 0’s, if any).
Given the following directions:
0: Move North
1: Move North-East
2: Move East
3: Move South-East
4: Move South
5: Move South-West
6: Move West
7: Move North-West
Reading the number written in base 8 from right to left. We start from a position that is the
unique position where the switch is on. Moving to a position switches on to off and off to
on there. By default, all positions are off.
Your program should display the minimal rectangular shape that includes all on positions as
shown in the test cases below.
