Practice Plan

[acbart]

Your 108 knowledge is going to provide a powerful base. Here's some things that might be valuable to work on:

This page has info about python lists and tuples: https://realpython.com/python-lists-tuples/#python-tuples

These are some okay practice problems. Skip any that seem boring or too easy, maybe start closer to the bottom of the list. Tuples aren't actually super complex, it's more a game of recognizing WHEN they are useful, than knowing HOW to use them: https://www.w3resource.com/python-exercises/tuple/

A page with an intro about lambdas: https://realpython.com/python-lambda/

Then maybe try some of these practice problems: https://www.w3resource.com/python-exercises/lambda/index.php

Getting some hands-on practice with list comprehensions and unittest would be pretty helpful.

• List comprehensions
• Unit testing

For practice problems, I found this repo here with some promising looking ones related to List Comprehensions. Pick a few and try them out. This is also a good chance to practice writing unit tests in Python; they use the doctest format (where the test case is embedded directly in the documentation), but it'd be good to rewrite them in the unittest style. And even more bonus points, that let's you practice writing a class too!

Decorators won't show up much, nor will exception handling. We'll probably have a dedicated class on regular expressions.
