50 More Python programming exercises (Beginners to advanced)
50 More Python programming ideas builds upon my earlier 64 Python Programming Exercises. These 50 all-new exercises range from “Hello World” style first programs to advanced skills using arrays and functions. Many tasks also have extension (“bonus”) sections to stretch pupils. Exercises are sorted into sections by the skills needed to complete them (conditionals, loops, arrays, etc).
A good resource for homework, extension tasks, and independent learning. Fully editable resource, ready for printing or online use.
Topics covered:
Basic input and output
Conditionals
Loops (while and for)
Strings
Arrays and Lists
Procedures and Functions
Some of the exercises in this document require sample code for students to edit: this code is provided in the download.
The exercises in this resource can be completed in any programming language, but some of the phrasing in the questions is specific to Python. There is also a Java version of this resource available for teachers and student who prefer that language.
