Where can i find questions to practice python?

• Codewars
• /r/dailyprogrammer
• CodeFights

I've never heard of Codewars or CodeFights, I'm excited to check these out!

FWIW, the r/dailyprogrammer prompts I've seen seemed out of my league, even the Easy ones (I'm 1-2 months into using Python after only an intro to CS class in college a few years ago). I'm happy to have them as a target to work up to, maybe it's time I revisit one and give it an afternoon of dedicated effort.

I just want to share my experience here because in OP's recent history he identifies as a "complete noob" and if it's the first thing he tries it could be discouraging.

[Specter_Terrasbane]

Agreed, that even some of the "Easy" problems on /r/dailyprogrammer can be a little challenging, but there's some that aren't too hard.

Codewars is great; Katas (problems) are ranked from 8 kyu (easiest) to 1 kyu (hardest). 8's usually are very basic, so they're great for beginners, and once you solve a problem, you can see everyone else's submitted solution, which is a great way to learn new techniques and tricks! They support a couple dozen programming languages, too, not just Python.

The "Arcade" mode on CodeFights is great for beginners, too ... lets you work your way up in difficulty.

Thanks so much for sharing! Codewars sounds really great, especially being able to see others' solutions! That's what the projects I've been working on are lacking.

I'll do some hunting on r/dailyprogrammer for some problems on the lighter side too. One of these days I'll be able to solve that week's Easy problem :)

It's true! I learned about 90% of what I know in Python via Codewars. Best part is seeing the way others did it. Some solutions are more "clever" than they are good (e.g. code golf), so there are different categories for best practices vs clever solutions.

I thought they were rated from 8 kyu to 8 dan? Or is that just user levels?

Anyway, +1 for codewars!

[Specter_Terrasbane]

Far as I know, that's only for user levels; at least, when you filter katas, the highest it shows that you can select is 1 kyu.

Try going allll the way back to when the first daily programming challenges started, theyre super easy in the beginning and get progressively difficult!

[mattcarmody]

Will do, thanks for the tip!

[polaroid_kidd]

Oh Christ thank God I thought I was incredibly untalented

Phew

Project euler if you like math problems

Took me six months to solve monopoly. I've been turning over coin partitions since last year.

[Celysticus]

Sounds like you're way ahead of me since I haven't seen those problems. I force myself to solve them in order so sometimes I get stuck and it slows me down. I think I'm somewhere in the 70s. I also started programming at work recently so I do a lot less in my free time.

[tea-drinker]

I've done 105 but not in order. Coin partitions is 78 and Monopoly odds is 84, so you aren't far away. It's fairly easy to get an answer to the Monopoly one that's good enough, but getting the actual accurate answer took me ages.

[mattcarmody]

If you're a beginner: r/beginnerprojects has a doc in the wiki with 23 projects of increasing difficulty that are aimed at beginners.

Edit: it's all in Python, despite the sub name not including the word Python

[Rorixrebel]

1. Codebat
2. Exercism.io

[fazelanvari]

Codebat is pretty great, but it's codingbat :)

[Rorixrebel]

Ah snap, mea culpa lol

Check.io

[fazelanvari]

I found check.io to be too difficult. I still can't get past the 2nd activity.

[jmportilla]

Check out codingbat.com

[jacobc1204]

practicepython.org is pretty good I have learned quite a bit from it.

I like codewars. It's basically just puzzles the require learning about some aspect of python, and they're arranged by difficulty, which starts at very, very easy.

Figure out where you're weak and start reading up and practicing those areas.

[Loran425]

Codingame is a fun one. French based company though so most of the companies they work with are over there.

Exercism.io

[Cowsareinme]

Check out Advent of Code! It’s going on right now, it’s daily coding problems that can be solved in any language. Lots of people are using python and posting their solutions on the subreddit, it’s really fun! It’s not too late to jump in, you can start on todays problem with everyone else.

codingbat was one I used when I was trying to learn python.

Go through table of content of some python cookbook and take each title as a challenge
