I'm trying to solve a problem where I need to determine the number on the opposite face of a cubic dice, which has 6 numbered faces (1 to 6). I have a function that takes a single face value as an input and should return the corresponding opposite face. However, when I submit my solution on a coding platform, it doesn't work. Here's the function I've written:
def oppositeFaceOfDice(self, N):
#code here
return 7-N.
Can someone help me understand what's wrong with this implementation?

The function looks correct conceptually, but if you're running into issues in a test case, double-check the expected values. Maybe your input is outside the 1-6 range, or there's an issue with how the test cases are set up.
Right! Ensuring you're only using values from 1 to 6 will definitely help avoid errors!
I think the main issue here is that your function is defined as a method but you haven’t included a class context. You’re using 'self' without needing it, which leads to the code trying to calculate `7 - None`. Just remove 'self' from the function definition and it should fix the error.
Got it! So it should just be defined like this:
def oppositeFaceOfDice(N):
return 7 - N. That makes so much more sense!
Exactly! Without 'self', it should work perfectly. Just make sure to test it with various inputs after adjusting.
Yeah, I can see how that could happen. Always good to validate inputs to make sure they fall within the correct range!
