Python is becoming the programming language of choice for many courses at MUN, so we’re going to take this week to go over some of the basics of the language! Following the tutorial on Sololearn (found at https://www.sololearn.com/Play/Python ) complete at least the first 2 sections (Basic Concepts and Control Structures, if you have time, complete Functions and Modules as well).
For those of you already familiar with Python, you can click the “Take A Shortcut” button to be tested on your proficiency and get credit for all the sections previous to the test. Feel free to utilize this if you feel comfortable enough with the language already.
I was positively surprised by this challenge. The first part is really simple if you have previous experience with the syntax, however, it takes a lot more to finish the course. By the end of it, I learned several useful tools that I didn’t even know existed in Python, like regular expressions.
