MapUp - Excel Assessment

You have to submit an excel assessment along with your python task. This evaluation tests your proficiency in Conditional Formatting, Excel Formulae, and Data Manipulation

Python Task 1

Question 1: Car Matrix Generation

Under the function named generate_car_matrix write a logic that takes the dataset-1.csv as a DataFrame. Return a new DataFrame that follows the following rules:

• values from id_2 as columns
• values from id_1 as index
• dataframe should have values from car column
• diagonal values should be 0.

Sample result dataframe:

Question 2: Car Type Count Calculation

Create a Python function named get_type_count that takes the dataset-1.csv as a DataFrame. Add a new categorical column car_type based on values of the column car:

• low for values less than or equal to 15,
• medium for values greater than 15 and less than or equal to 25,
• high for values greater than 25.

Calculate the count of occurrences for each car_type category and return the result as a dictionary. Sort the dictionary alphabetically based on keys.

Question 3: Bus Count Index Retrieval

Create a Python function named get_bus_indexes that takes the dataset-1.csv as a DataFrame. The function should identify and return the indices as a list (sorted in ascending order) where the bus values are greater than twice the mean value of the bus column in the DataFrame.

Question 4: Route Filtering

Create a python function filter_routes that takes the dataset-1.csv as a DataFrame. The function should return the sorted list of values of column route for which the average of values of truck column is greater than 7.

Question 5: Matrix Value Modification

Create a Python function named multiply_matrix that takes the resulting DataFrame from Question 1, as input and modifies each value according to the following logic:

• If a value in the DataFrame is greater than 20, multiply those values by 0.75,
• If a value is 20 or less, multiply those values by 1.25.

The function should return the modified DataFrame which has values rounded to 1 decimal place.

Sample result dataframe:

Question 6: Time Check

You are given a dataset, dataset-2.csv, containing columns id, id_2, and timestamp (startDay, startTime, endDay, endTime). The goal is to verify the completeness of the time data by checking whether the timestamps for each unique (id, id_2) pair cover a full 24-hour period (from 12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM) and span all 7 days of the week (from Monday to Sunday).

Create a function that accepts dataset-2.csv as a DataFrame and returns a boolean series that indicates if each (id, id_2) pair has incorrect timestamps. The boolean series must have multi-index (id, id_2).

Python Task 2

Question 1: Distance Matrix Calculation

Create a function named calculate_distance_matrix that takes the dataset-3.csv as input and generates a DataFrame representing distances between IDs.

The resulting DataFrame should have cumulative distances along known routes, with diagonal values set to 0. If distances between toll locations A to B and B to C are known, then the distance from A to C should be the sum of these distances. Ensure the matrix is symmetric, accounting for bidirectional distances between toll locations (i.e. A to B is equal to B to A).

Sample result dataframe:

Question 2: Unroll Distance Matrix

Create a function unroll_distance_matrix that takes the DataFrame created in Question 1. The resulting DataFrame should have three columns: columns id_start, id_end, and distance.

All the combinations except for same id_start to id_end must be present in the rows with their distance values from the input DataFrame.

Question 3: Finding IDs within Percentage Threshold

Create a function find_ids_within_ten_percentage_threshold that takes the DataFrame created in Question 2 and a reference value from the id_start column as an integer.

Calculate average distance for the reference value given as an input and return a sorted list of values from id_start column which lie within 10% (including ceiling and floor) of the reference value's average.

Question 4: Calculate Toll Rate

Create a function calculate_toll_rate that takes the DataFrame created in Question 2 as input and calculates toll rates based on vehicle types.

The resulting DataFrame should add 5 columns to the input DataFrame: moto, car, rv, bus, and truck with their respective rate coefficients. The toll rates should be calculated by multiplying the distance with the given rate coefficients for each vehicle type:

• 0.8 for moto
• 1.2 for car
• 1.5 for rv
• 2.2 for bus
• 3.6 for truck

Sample result dataframe:

Question 5: Calculate Time-Based Toll Rates

Create a function named calculate_time_based_toll_rates that takes the DataFrame created in Question 4 as input and calculates toll rates for different time intervals within a day.

The resulting DataFrame should have these five columns added to the input: start_day, start_time, end_day, and end_time.

• start_day, end_day must be strings with day values (from Monday to Sunday in proper case)
• start_time and end_time must be of type datetime.time() with the values from time range given below.

Modify the values of vehicle columns according to the following time ranges:

Weekdays (Monday - Friday):

• From 00:00:00 to 10:00:00: Apply a discount factor of 0.8
• From 10:00:00 to 18:00:00: Apply a discount factor of 1.2
• From 18:00:00 to 23:59:59: Apply a discount factor of 0.8

Weekends (Saturday and Sunday):

• Apply a constant discount factor of 0.7 for all times.

For each unique (id_start, id_end) pair, cover a full 24-hour period (from 12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM) and span all 7 days of the week (from Monday to Sunday).

Sample result dataframe:
