Extra Credit: CodingBat¶

Due: Thursday, May 1, 2025

If you elect to complete all problems in the listed Python categories on CodingBat, you will receive an additional 2 points on your final grade (i.e.: if you would have an 88 as your final grade, you will instead receive a 90).

The categories to fully complete to receive extra credit:

String-2 (6 problems)
List-1 (12 problems)
List-2 (6 problems)
Logic-1 (9 problems)
Logic-2 (7 problems)

Tip

I highly recommend also doing String-1, but it won’t be considered for extra credit, whether you do it or not.

Note

Some of the problems suggest creating a helper function. This is just another function inside of your solution on CodingBat. You have two options for this:

Create a top-level helper function, i.e.:

def problem(...):   # This is the function header created by the CodingBat problem
    ...             # Some solution
    helper(...)     # Call your helper
    ...             # Some more solution

# Create this below the main function, outside of the main function body
def helper(...):
    ...

Create a nested helper, i.e.:

def problem(...):
    def helper(...):
        ...

    ...
    helper(...)
    ...

Note the difference in placement and indentation of helper.
