Code Coach Aims

Question

Hi all, general question regarding community Code Coach.

Is the idea behind the exercises to utilise what we learned on site or is it to get our heads into the documentation and explore solutions not given in the lessons? I only ask as the two that I have solved have both used built in functions that I found in the documentation and have (thus far not been in any of the lessons.

Either way, having a great time thus far and very happy to be part of the sololearn community!

Answer 1

Well I think that Code Coach challenges are designed for both purposes, first to help you practice and reinforce what you have already learned in the Sololearn lessons. Second to encourage you to go beyond the lessons by exploring documentation, built-in functions and alternative approaches. That’s why sometimes you can solve them with only what you learned in the courses but other times the most efficient solution requires you to dig into the language standard library or documentation.
Anyways your approach of checking the docs and using built-in functions is perfectly valid — in fact that is key skill for real-world programming .. Good Luck!

Answer 2

The code coach exercises are not tailored to specific courses. Rather, they require one to reach beyond.
