Tennis Set

In tennis, the winner of a set is based on how many games each player wins. The first player to win 6 games is declared the winner unless their opponent had already won 5 games, in which case the set continues until one of the players has won 7 games.

Given two integers score1 and score2, your task is to determine if it is possible for a tennis set to be finished with a final score of score1 : score2.

Example

• For score1 = 3 and score2 = 6, the output should be

  tennis_set(score1, score2) = true

  Since player 1 hadn't reached 5 wins, the set ends once player 2 has won 6 games.

• For score1 = 8 and score2 = 5, the output should be

  tennis_set(score1, score2) = false

  Since both players won at least 5 games, the set would've ended once one of them won the 7th one.

• For score1 = 6 and score2 = 5, the output should be

  tennis_set(score1, score2) = false

  This set will continue until one of these players wins their 7th game, so this can't be the final score.

Solution

PYTHON

def tennis_set(score1, score2):
    max_score = max(score1, score2)
    min_score = min(score1, score2)

    if max_score == 6 and min_score < 5:
        return True

    if max_score == 7 and (min_score in (5, 6)):
        return True

    return False


print(tennis_set(6, 3))
