Exercise Structure

Exercises are organized in the exercises/ directory by topic:

• 00_intro/ - Introduction and environment setup
• 01_variables/ - Variables, types, basic operations
• 02_collections/ - Lists, dictionaries, tuples, sets
• 03_functions/ - Function definitions, parameters, returns
• 04_control_flow/ - Conditionals, loops, flow control
• 05_exceptions/ - Error handling and exceptions
• 06_classes/ - Object-oriented programming
• 07_functional/ - Functional programming concepts
• 08_file_io/ - File operations and data formats
• 09_modules_packages/ - Imports, packages, modules
• 10_advanced/ - Decorators, generators, advanced concepts
• 11_testing/ - Unit testing and test-driven development
• 12_concurrency/ - Threading, multiprocessing, async programming
• 13_data/ - Data processing and analysis

• 15_stdlib/ - Standard library modules
• 16_project_management/ - Virtual environments, packaging, project structure
• 17_design_patterns/ - Common design patterns
• 18_regex/ - Regular expressions

Each exercise file contains:

• Learning objectives
• TODO items to complete
• Hints and tips
• Test cases

How It Works

1. Find TODOs: Each exercise has # TODO comments marking what you need to implement
2. Fix the code: Replace TODOs with working Python code
3. Pass Ruff checks: Your code must pass Ruff linting (style, formatting, basic errors)
4. Run successfully: The exercise file must execute without runtime errors
5. Progress tracking: Completed exercises are automatically tracked

Ruff Configuration

Snakers uses Ruff for:

• Code formatting
• Style checking (PEP 8)
• Error detection
• Import sorting
• Modern Python practices
