Python Coding Challenges.
Writing Python is different from recognizing syntax. These five small coding tasks give you just enough starter code to begin—and require you to produce the result yourself.
How to use this clinic: Select a challenge, read the requirement, edit the starter code, and choose Run Python. When you're ready, select Check my solution. Variable names, data types and exact console output all matter. Hints are optional; solutions aren't supplied.
