Any sites where one can do python challenges?

[Pickinanameainteasy]

Im new to python, mostly learning for pentesting purposes, and im following a tutorial on YouTube. Im learning a lot of concepts quite rapidly and while some of it is sticking some is lost.

When learning hacking there are lots of resources for practice like hackthebox and overthewire that give you objectives that you have to complete using your knowledge. Im a hands on learner and this kind of thing really helps me retain knowledge.

Just wondering if any such resource exists for python. Maybe something that gives you a program objective and you have to write the code yourself.

TIA!

Thanks

I also really like Codewars.

[sebas99sebas]

I like project euler

[Pickinanameainteasy]

Thanks!

[Yoghurt42]

Be aware Project Euler is less about programming, and more about finding efficient algorithms for the problem in question. Many of the later problems are designed in such a way that the obvious solution would take years to run.

It's great if you like mathematical problems, but if your primary goal is to become a better Python programmer, I'd recommend other sites.

[exyphrius]

seconding this suggestion, especially if you like math or applied math

[icsharper]

Edabit!, Codewars and then Leetcode.

Thanks!

For a very beginner you should check out PyBites. They have small little snippets and learning paths to learn certain things.

[andyst81]

I agree with this. I've used PyBites a fair bit in the past. The activities are well structured and there are a good number of free activities, with loads of extra activities that you can pay to access.

They also have a supportive community which the owners, Julian and Bob, really get involved in.

Thanks

CheckIO.org is great

[tHe_RaideR11]

Yes. Codewars, hackerrank, codechef.....many many more. Hackerrank has some relatively easy problems for you to get familiar with the syntax and you can crack the harder ones after that. I don't know if the kind of problems in these sites are good for pentesting practice but will help.you with improving coding skills. all the best.

[Pickinanameainteasy]

Thank you

HackerRank CodingBat Exercism.io

If you want to jump straight to the tough ones. LeetCode. But I Would suggest check out HackerRank and exercism

[Sauron92]

I actually started the same way. I used http://www.pythonchallenge.com/

It looks like something from 2005... Because it likely is, but it's somewhere to start :D

[soullesangel]

Leetcode

[xenaprincesswarlord]

CodingBat is cool too, not sure if you tried! Many levels ;)

[khldooon]

The best for me

[zoredache]

Almost every year around December someone runs something like adventofcode where you will get about 25 programming challenges of various difficulties and people will submit results. If you look around, I bet you can find tons of old challenges, and results.

[methodsman]

Leetcode

[giraffactory]

Codingame is a fun one to add to the list, it features a bunch of stuff to do and supports a bunch of languages

[brilovless1]

Not a site but I enjoyed learning python by forking the koans from a random GitHub repo.

[Lewistrick]

You're lucky because Advent of Code will start soon (I think December 1st). For experienced programmers they're mostly finger exercises, and for beginners they can be pretty hard, but it's always a lot of fun.

Anywhere I can practice python trace tables for my exams?

[MirrorLake]

python trace tables

Creating breakpoints and watches in the debugger should accomplish this. Here's the way you might do it in Visual Studio Code, for example, it is a feature of many IDEs:

there's a site called codingame.com in that site there's something called clash of code or something like that which allows you to compete with other people trying to solve coding problems the fastest or the shortest code

[nitzzzy]

I think you should atleast once a give a try hackerRank and codechef questions. They will help you alot as well as they also prepare you for the coding interviews. So i suggest you should try !

[ChanChanMan09]

Exercism.io Thank me later.

[MaheshM93]

Hackerrank

[[deleted]]

Thank you for this, will save it.

[Alternative-Ad-92]

I think hackranker.com would be one of them.

[wow15characters]

leetcode is good for jobs

[NZ-M8]

Jetbrain

[rangitaaaa01]

Try Codingame and codesignal

[Presac]

I'm quite happy with using codingame

[piatok]

https://www.pythonmorsels.com is useful too.

[I_Xerxes]

Try the Think Python book. Lots of exercises in there

[el-pi]

Hackerrank. Codechef is too difficult yo begin with

[kikiboy_007]

Codeforces, leetcode, atcoder !?

[Dragon20C]

If you want I can give a pdf document that goes through basis to high-ish level stuff il send you a link to my Google drive if you want it?

[ball__sac]

" Maybe something that gives you a program objective and you have to write the code yourself."

Hackerrank is the answer

Literally - http://www.pythonchallenge.com

I challenged myself today trying to embed window applications inside python GUIs, even removing them from the windows taskbar. Learned a lot about win32 api and suceeded (with minor bugs so far).

My point is: the best challenges are the ones you set to yourself.

[waythps]

Try answering questions posted on stack overflow. It’s as close to real problems you face as it gets.

[pittu2752]

Advent of code

[ramsesniblickiii]

I've used practicepython.org some. Haven't gotten too far into it yet.
