Topic 13 of 13 in Python — Complete Tutorial (Beginner) — 5 lessons.

Simple Calculator

This project builds a reusable calculate function that takes two numbers and an operator symbol, then performs the right operation using a match statement. It safely handles division by zero by returning a clear message instead of crashing.

Grade Reporter

This project defines a student as a dictionary, a function to work out the grade from an average, and a function to print a full report card. It uses dictionaries, lists, loops, functions, f-strings, and conditionals — nearly every concept in this tutorial.

Number Guessing Game

This project implements the core logic of a guessing game — it simulates a list of guesses and processes each in a loop, using functions, conditionals, loops with break, and f-strings. In a real interactive version the guesses would come from input(), but the logic is identical.

Practice Exercises

Now You Try!

Try to practice by writing your own code. Reading code teaches you a little — *writing* it teaches you a lot! Open the playground beside this card, pick one of these mini-challenges, and build it from scratch:
