situations. Solutions to selected exercises are also provided supported by brief annotations
that explain the technique used to solve the problem or highlight a specific point of Python
syntax.This enhanced new edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded with additional
exercises along with concise introductions that outline the core concepts needed to solve
them. The exercises and solutions require no prior background knowledge beyond the material

disciplines presents the solutions to approximately half of the exercises provides
annotations alongside the solutions which explain the approach taken to solve the problem and
relevant aspects of Python syntax offers a variety of exercises of different lengths and
difficulties contains exercises that encourage the development of programming skills using if
statements loops basic functions lists dictionaries files and recursive
