Car production line

Story

In this exercise you'll be writing code to analyze the production of an assembly line in a car factory. The assembly line's speed can range from 0 (off) to 10 (maximum).

At its lowest speed (1), 221 cars are produced each hour. The production increases linearly with the speed. So with the speed set to 4, it should produce 4 * 221 = 884 cars per hour. However, higher speeds increase the likelihood that faulty cars are produced, which then have to be discarded. The following table shows how speed influences the success rate:

  • 1 to 4: 100% success rate.
  • 5 to 8: 90% success rate.
  • 9: 80% success rate.
  • 10: 77% success rate.

Tasks

These are example tasks that fit the car production line exercise:

  • Calculate the production rate per hour
  • Calculate the number of working items produced per minute
