--description--

Given the snow depth and slope of a mountain, determine if there's an avalanche risk.

  • The snow depth values are "Shallow", "Moderate", or "Deep".
  • Slope values are "Gentle", "Steep", or "Very Steep".

Return "Safe" or "Risky" based on this table:

"Shallow""Moderate""Deep"
"Gentle""Safe""Safe""Safe"
"Steep""Safe""Risky""Risky"
"Very Steep""Safe""Risky""Risky"

--hints--

avalanche_risk("Shallow", "Gentle") should return "Safe".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(avalanche_risk("Shallow", "Gentle"), "Safe")`)
}})

avalanche_risk("Shallow", "Steep") should return "Safe".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase

avalanche_risk("Shallow", "Very Steep") should return "Safe".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase

avalanche_risk("Moderate", "Gentle") should return "Safe".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase

avalanche_risk("Moderate", "Steep") should return "Risky".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
