Non Examined Assessment (NEA)

One of the best ways to learn how to code is to think of an idea and start coding it. 
If you are coding a game like a text based golf game, then you will need to learn and use the random module so that the game is different every time.
​Below are some projects to get you to start coding.

Practical programming 2017

​Click here to see a coding project to attempt.

The project is split into 3 tasks

Read "Task 1", then look at the output below called "Task 1". Run the code to see how it works. Read Task 1 again and try an code it. (repeat with Task2 and 3)

Task 1 (click "run")

To help get you started, below is what a well coded task1 should look like when it is executed. You will not be able to see the code, as the whole point is that you code it! Goodluck!

Task 2 (click "run")

Below is what a well coded task2 should look like when it is executed. You will not be able to see the code, as the whole point is that you code it! Goodluck!

Task 3

No help here for Task3 apart from that you will need to learn how use text files with Python and the ".format" method to help make the table.  Well done for getting this far and Goodluck!
One last thing, to complete task3 you will need the following text files:
​
Right click the links below and save them in the same folder your code will be in.
