An empty floor. Start with the information your machine needs.

Received result

Your answer will arrive here.

Examples, experiments and workspace controls
Live values

Connect a tool's inputs to see what it produces. You can try a branch before connecting it to Result.

Try your own inputs

Use a copy of the example to try your own data. Keep the problem's assumptions in mind, and predict the effect of a change before checking the output. You can also add another branch to compare two ways of doing the calculation.

Start at an output arrow, then click or drag to an input. Drag empty space to pan. Delete removes a selection. Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes a change.
Context for this challenge

Find the ascending order of the readings, then use those indices to retrieve the names.

The coolest greenhouse is identified by a temperature, but Botie's requested answer is its name. The two lists must remain aligned.

Find the ascending temperature indices and gather the corresponding greenhouse names.

Try a fresh construction

This clears this draft, including its undo history. Earlier successful attempts stay recorded. Build again without opening hints to record an independent attempt.

Stuck? Inspect a worked construction

The tools below form one possible solution. You can assemble it, follow its signals, and undo that change to return to your own construction.

Assumptions and test precision

Ordering is not a measure of danger. These temperatures only illustrate preserving aligned records. Numerical tests allow a difference of 0.001. Lists and structures must also have the right shape.

Three greenhouses share a temperature

This check uses the pieces from “Sort the measurements and carry their names”.

BOTIE

Only the west greenhouse is cooler than the others. Predict the names in ascending temperature order, preserving the original order within a tie.
Greenhouse names
  1. 0rear
  2. 1east
  3. 2west
  4. 3roof
Temperature in the same order
  1. 017
  2. 117
  3. 212
  4. 317

Use a number, text, or an array matching the requested result. For a matrix, put each row in brackets. Saving your prediction runs your current construction on these inputs and checks the earlier examples too.

Build a construction in the workspace above first. This case will test those pieces.

Why would sorting the temperatures and names separately break this report, even if each sort were correct?

Compute one ordering and apply it consistently to every field belonging to the same observations.

Ordering is not a measure of danger. These temperatures only illustrate preserving aligned records.
