We are checking your solutions semi-automatically. Please use the suggested variable names when writing your code.

Non-editable code cells

Some of the code-cells are ‘non-editable’ which means that you are supposed to run them, but you are not able to edit them. These non-editable code cells should help you test your code while you proceed.

Immediate feedback

Whenever you push and submit your work, an automated process will check your submission and tell you how many points you have achieved, so far. The feedback includes a list of possible improvements (unless there is nothing to improve on anymore, of course ;) ).
