Visual Effects: You will learn how to solve these exercises with carefully designed visual effects, animations, and diagrams.
Test Cases: each coding challenge has test cases to help you test if your solution is correct. Each problem can be solved in multiple ways, so these test cases will help you confirm if your solution is correct.
Python Files: you will be able to download the sample solutions as Python files to run and experiment with the code in your device.
Progress Tracker: a PDF poster that you can print and cross out as you complete the exercises to help you track your progress.
Cornell Note-taking Method Page Format: a PDF format that you can print to take notes following the Cornell Note-taking Method (a page divided into three sections to write your notes, comments, and summary).
Code Notebook Format: a PDF format that you can print to write your solutions or the sample solutions by hand, analyze the code, and add your comments.

The Coding Challenges Cover:

Strings
Lists and Tuples
Dictionaries
Conditionals
Loops
Recursion
Files
Miscellaneous and More Challenging Exercises

Most exercises combine different elements from these topics, but the exercises are grouped by their most relevant category.

What makes this course unique?

This course is unique because of its emphasis on providing visual and detailed explanations of how the solutions work behind the scenes, so you will not only learn how to implement them in Python, you will actually understand the purpose of each line of code.

Unique study materials complement the course experience. You will find three PDF resources specifically designed for the course: a poster, a note-taking page format with the Cornell Note-taking Method, and a code notebook.

Check your solutions with detailed video lectures and download the sample solutions to run the code on your device.

You will receive a certificate of completion that you can add to your social media profiles to showcase your new skills.

You will also have lifetime access to the course.
