  1. Challenge

    Accessing the Code Server and Python File

    Use the public IP address of your public server in the URL line of your browser, and add :8080. It should look like 1.1.1.1:8080. Open the file lab1.py and make sure the Python interpreter is set for Python 3.8.2. If messages appear that the linter is not installed, just dismiss them.

  2. Challenge

    Write a list Comprehension to Replace the for Loop Given

    Create a new function with the same name as the for loop function. Then prepend old_ to the for loop function name.

    Write the code comprehension that will replace the for loop.

  3. Challenge

    Test the list Comprehension

    Test that the for loop function and the list comprehension function return the same results.
