CodingBat exercises

CodingBat

Review this morning's lecture with these CodingBat exercises.

Just like the tutorial, these are self-paced. If you need help, ask a friend or staff member. If you finish early, offer to help your neighbors.

If you didn't have time to do the CodingBat exercises this morning and you'd like some review of the concepts from the tutorial, here they are: first set, second set.

Projects!

You are filling out a crossword and need a word that fits the pattern E*G****R. What are your options? How many words have all 5 vowels in order? What's the only common English word that ends in 'mt'? Use Python to answer questions like this instantly while practicing manipulating data from a file and regular expressions.
