This is a practice site. You'll find others like them around the internet. We'll be focused on the Python section. This week we'll complete a good many of these exercises and learn things along the way. The more complicated ones we'll use pseudocode to map out the answers, then code them.
Do them in this order:
- Strings 1
- List 1
- Warmup 1 The warmup problems are more complicated but have solutions with them. Problems like this one are good at showing how multiple answers can solve the problem.
Stuck? String Docs List Docs
Fun fact: the done page will show you stats on how long it took you to get various problems. Don't worry about making mistakes- just make sure you're learning!
If you'd like to work ahead a little, continue on in this order:
