Requirements
There is not much that you need to participate in any of these challenges. The only thing you need is a free Replit account. This is the easiest way to directly start coding and working on our challenges.
We provide a Starter Repl and a Solution Repl to each exercise. We encourage you not to look at the Solution Repl until you are completely stuck. Use Google to help find a solution and hone your Google skills simultaneously. The best way to learn is to struggle!
How to fork a Repl
ℹ️ This article has a corresponding Replit repository that you can copy and play around with. Create a free Replit account and click on the Fork Repl button below. This is the best way to practice programming!
To fork a Repl, you just have to click on the Starter Repl button, make sure you are logged in to your Replit account, and click on the Fork Repl button to create a copy of the Starter Repl we provide. This allows you to start coding directly.
Python Excercise 1 – Crypto Coin Name Generator
Difficulty: Very Easy
In this exercise, we will build a Crypto Coin Name Generator. This covers a lot of Python’s basic functionality by using variables, input, and print.
Task
- Ask the user for his favorite toy as a kid using input and store it in a variable (If the toy has multiple words, just write it in PascalCase ex: ActionMan)
- Ask the user if the Crypto Coin should end with “Token”, “Coin”, or something else.
- Print the name of the new Crypto Coin to the console!
- Bonus: Make sure to print a newline character after asking the user a question so that the user has a clear input field!
Hints
You need to use the following Python functions to be able to solve this challenge:
print()input()
Final Program
The final program should look like this:
Python Exercise 2 – BMI Calculator
Difficulty: Very Easy
In this exercise, we will create a BMI calculator! This will help us to better understand different data types and help us to learn how to use them in a program. The formula to calculate the BMI is:
Task
- Write a program that calculates a user’s BMI using the user’s weight and height.
- BMI is calculated by dividing the person’s weight in kg by the square of the person’s height in meters.
- Round the result to a whole number.
Hints
- Check the data types of your variables/inputs.
- If you can, use the exponent operator in your program.
- Convert your result to a whole number.
Final Program
If you make the following input:
height = 1.85
weight = 75You should receive this output:
22Based on the calculation using the BMI formula: 75 % (1.85 x 1.85)
This result is already rounded. If you don’t round, you will end up with a long floating point number!
Python Exercise 3 – Time Left to Live
Difficulty: Very Easy
We have recently come across this fun app by Bryan Braun, which lets you calculate your life in weeks, months, and years. We thought this would be a funny Python exercise. We will do something similar, but with a little twist!
Task
- Create a program that takes the user’s current age as input and calculates how many days, weeks, and months they have left to live if they would get 99 years old.
- For this exercise, we assume that a year has 365 days, 52 weeks, and 12 months. We don’t take leap years into account!
- Print the final result to the console using an f-String!
Hints
- For this program, you need to convert the user input to an integer.
- You can use the following built-in Python functions to solve this challenge:
Final Program
If you make the following input:
36Code language: plaintext (plaintext)
You should get the following output (adjust your f-String to match the output exactly!):
Best of luck!
Python Exercise 4 – The Tip Calculator
Difficulty: Easy
This is going to be a fun exercise where we are going to practice our understanding of Python’s mathematical operations! We will also be working with f-strings again. Your task in this exercise is to build a Tip Calculator. Imagine you are having dinner with a group of friends, and you want to split the bill, including the tip for the waiter, equally, among your friends – this is exactly what we are going to build!
Task
- Print a greeting to the screen, welcoming our user to the Tip Calculator.
- Ask the user how much the total bill is and store the value in a variable.
- Ask the user how much percent tip they want to give the waiter and store the value in a variable.
- Ask the user how many people they want to split the bill between and store the value in a variable.
- Calculate how much each of your friends has to pay if the bill, including tip, is equally spread among them.
- Round the result to two positions after the comma and print it to the console
- BONUS: When you input the following amounts:
- Total bill: 150
- Tip percentage: 12
- Split between people: 5
The total amount paid by each person should be $33.60, not $33.6. You have to do some Googling to find out how to do that!
Hints
This challenge can be a bit tricky, especially the bonus task, but be confident in yourself – you got this! Here are some tips:
- If the bill is 150$ split between 5 people with a 12% tip, you can use this formula to calculate the final amount each person has to pay (feel free to use any other formula to get to the result!):
- 150/5 * 1.12
- You can use the following built-in Python functions to help solve this challenge:
round()int()float()- f-strings
Final Program
If you enter the following values:
- Total bill: 180
- Tip percentage: 15
- Split between people: 4
The result should be:
