Treasure Hunting

The Python Standard Library is a treasure trove full of wonderful secrets and hidden utilities that will charm even the most venomous python.

So, what better way to discover and unearth these treasures than to start our own treasure hunt?

So, in this module, the teaching assistants and I will give you multiple missions (well, more like tasks, but let’s make it sound more exciting!).

I will only provide you with a treasure map links to the official Python documentation. But I can safely tell you that the solutions to your missions will be right there in the documentations.

We will be plundering exploring three different islands Python modules: random, os and time.

The aim of this module is:

  1. To let you practice understanding how to read a treasure map the official documentation for a Python library
  2. To let you explore and figure out how to use these libraries

So this module is much less about problem solving but more about learning to use the libraries by reading the documentations. If you have understood the concepts from Week 1, reading the documentations should be pretty straightforward!

So, gather your crew coursemates, and try to seek out the treasures together. This module will be more fun when done together with your coursemates!
