Homework Exercises

The best way to learn Python is to use it for a programming project of your own. Some students, however, prefer smaller, better defined exercises they can use to hone their programming abilities. This sections provides problems of that type, along with solutions. Each homework should take no more than a few hours. (The first one will be much shorter.)
