import random
groups = ['code code coders', 'Purple Pythons', 'Mending Miners']
students = ['Yuno Miles','Playboi Carti', 'Travis Scott', 'Kanye West', 'Kendrick Lamar', 'Drake', 'J.Cole', 'JID', 'Lil Uzi Vert', 'Lil Baby', '21 Savage', 'Tyler the Creator', 'Lil Wayne', 'A$AP Rocky', 'Post Malone']
# Randomly shuffle the list of activities to assign them randomly to the guests
random.shuffle(students)

group_assignments = {group: [] for group in groups}

# Assign 5 students to each group
for i in range(len(students)):
    group = groups[i // 5]  # Integer division ensures 5 per group
    group_assignments[group].append(students[i])

for group, members in group_assignments.items():
    print(f"\n{group}:")
    for member in members:
        print(f" - {member}")

Homework Hack #3

Objective: Simulate a random coffee shop queue and determine how long it takes for customers to get served.

Task: Simulate a coffee shop with 5 customers. Each customer has a random service time (between 1 and 5 minutes). The coffee shop serves customers in the order they arrive. Calculate and print the total time it takes for all 5 customers to be served.

import random

customers = ['Bob', 'Bobby', 'Borb', 'Beb', 'Bab']
total_time = 0

print("Coffee Shop Queue Simulation:")
for customer in customers:
    service_time = random.randint(1, 5)
    total_time += service_time
    print(f"{customer} was served in {service_time} minutes.")

print(f"\nTotal time to serve all customers: {total_time} minutes.")

Coffee Shop Queue Simulation:
Bob was served in 2 minutes.
Bobby was served in 1 minutes.
Borb was served in 2 minutes.
Beb was served in 1 minutes.
Bab was served in 2 minutes.

Total time to serve all customers: 8 minutes.
