"Act as a Python teacher and create a structured
list of coding practice exercises for me. I am a
beginner and want to master Python step by step.
Start from the very basics (print, variables, operators, input/output, conditionals, loops).
Progress gradually into lists, strings, functions, dictionaries, and arrays — but do not jump into
OOP yet.
Provide at least 100 exercises in sequence (from easy to challenging).
For each exercise, include:
Exercise Title
Problem Statement / Task
Sample Python Code Solution
Step-by-step Logic Explanation (easy to understand, like a tutorial).
Format it clearly so I can practice by reading and coding along.
At the end, prepare it in a PDF or Word file so I can download and use offline."*
I'll create a comprehensive Python practice exercise collection structured for progressive
learning from absolute basics to intermediate level. Here's a systematic approach with detailed
exercises:
Python Practice Exercise Collection
Section 1: Print Statements & Variables (Exercises 1-10)
Exercise 1: First Python Program
Problem: Write a program that prints "Hello, World!" to the console
Solution:
print("Hello, World!")
Logic: The print() function displays text on screen. Text must be enclosed in quotes (single
or double).
Exercise 2: Personal Introduction
Problem: Print your name, age, and favorite hobby on separate lines
Solution:
print("My name is John")
print("I am 20 years old")
print("My hobby is coding")
Logic: Each print() statement creates a new line. You can use multiple print statements for
different lines.
Exercise 3: Variable Assignment
Problem: Create variables for name, age, and city, then print them
Solution:
name = "Alice"
age = 25
city = "Mumbai"
print(name)
print(age)
print(city)
Logic: Variables store data. Use = to assign values. Variable names should be descriptive
and follow naming rules.
Exercise 4: Variable Types
Problem: Create one variable each for string, integer, float, and boolean, then print their
types
Solution:
text = "Python"
number = 42
decimal = 3.14
is_student = True
print(type(text))
print(type(number))
print(type(decimal))
print(type(is_student))
Logic: type() function shows the data type. Python has different types: str, int, float, bool.
Section 2: Basic Operators (Exercises 11-20)
Exercise 11: Basic Arithmetic
Problem: Calculate and print the sum, difference, product, and quotient of two numbers
Solution:
a = 15
b = 4
print("Sum:", a + b)
print("Difference:", a - b)
print("Product:", a * b)
print("Quotient:", a / b)
Logic: Python uses +, -, *, / for basic math operations. Results are calculated and displayed.
Exercise 12: Comparison Operators
Problem: Compare two numbers using all comparison operators
Solution:
x = 10
y = 20
print(x == y) # Equal
print(x != y) # Not equal
print(x > y) # Greater than
print(x < y) # Less than
print(x >= y) # Greater or equal
print(x <= y) # Less or equal
Logic: Comparison operators return True or False. Use == for equality (not =, which is
assignment).
Section 3: Input & Output (Exercises 21-30)
Exercise 21: User Input
Problem: Ask user for their name and greet them personally
Solution:
name = input("What is your name? ")
print("Hello, " + name + "!")
Logic: input() function gets user input as string. Use + to combine (concatenate) strings.
Exercise 22: Number Input
Problem: Get two numbers from user and calculate their sum
Solution:
num1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = int(input("Enter second number: "))
sum_result = num1 + num2
print("Sum is:", sum_result)
Logic: input() returns string, so use int() to convert to integer for math operations.
Section 4: Conditionals (Exercises 31-45)
Exercise 31: Simple If Statement
Problem: Check if a number is positive
Solution:
number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
if number > 0:
print("The number is positive")
Logic: if statement executes code only when condition is True. Indentation is crucial in
Python.
Exercise 32: If-Else Statement
Problem: Check if number is even or odd
Solution:
number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
if number % 2 == 0:
print("Even number")
else:
print("Odd number")
Logic: % is modulo operator (remainder). Even numbers have remainder 0 when divided by
2.
Exercise 33: Grade Calculator
Problem: Convert marks to grades (A: 90+, B: 80-89, C: 70-79, D: 60-69, F: below 60)
Solution:
marks = int(input("Enter your marks: "))
if marks >= 90:
print("Grade A")
elif marks >= 80:
print("Grade B")
elif marks >= 70:
print("Grade C")
elif marks >= 60:
print("Grade D")
else:
print("Grade F")
Logic: elif (else if) allows multiple conditions. Python checks conditions top to bottom.
Section 5: Loops (Exercises 46-60)
Exercise 46: Simple For Loop
Problem: Print numbers 1 to 5
Solution:
for i in range(1, 6):
print(i)
Logic: range(1, 6) generates numbers 1 to 5 (6 excluded). Loop variable i takes each
value.
Exercise 47: While Loop
Problem: Print numbers 1 to 5 using while loop
Solution:
i = 1
while i <= 5:
print(i)
i = i + 1
Logic: While loop continues as long as condition is True. Must update counter to avoid
infinite loop.
Exercise 48: Multiplication Table
Problem: Print multiplication table of a number
Solution:
num = int(input("Enter number: "))
for i in range(1, 11):
print(f"{num} x {i} = {num * i}")
Logic: F-string formatting (f"") makes output readable. Loop runs 10 times for table.
Section 6: Lists (Exercises 61-75)
Exercise 61: Create and Print List
Problem: Create a list of 5 fruits and print each one
Solution:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange", "mango", "grapes"]
for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)
Logic: Lists store multiple items in square brackets. For loop iterates through each item.
Exercise 62: List Operations
Problem: Add, remove, and modify list elements
Solution:
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
numbers.append(6) # Add to end
numbers.insert(0, 0) # Insert at position
numbers.remove(3) # Remove specific value
numbers[2] = 10 # Modify by index
print(numbers)
Logic: Lists are mutable. Use methods like append(), insert(), remove() to modify. Index
starts at 0.
Exercise 63: Find Maximum in List
Problem: Find the largest number in a list without using max() function
Solution:
numbers = [45, 23, 67, 89, 12, 34]
maximum = numbers[0]
for num in numbers:
if num > maximum:
maximum = num
print("Maximum:", maximum)
Logic: Start with first element as maximum. Compare each element and update if larger
found.
Section 7: Strings (Exercises 76-85)
Exercise 76: String Methods
Problem: Demonstrate various string methods
Solution:
text = " Python Programming "
print(text.upper()) # Uppercase
print(text.lower()) # Lowercase
print(text.strip()) # Remove spaces
print(text.replace("Python", "Java")) # Replace
print(len(text)) # Length
Logic: Strings have built-in methods. They don't modify original string but return new string.
Exercise 77: Count Characters
Problem: Count vowels and consonants in a string
Solution:
text = input("Enter a string: ").lower()
vowels = 0
consonants = 0
for char in text:
if char.isalpha():
if char in "aeiou":
vowels += 1
else:
consonants += 1
print(f"Vowels: {vowels}, Consonants: {consonants}")
Logic: Convert to lowercase for easier checking. isalpha() checks if character is letter. Use
in to check membership.
Section 8: Functions (Exercises 86-95)
Exercise 86: Simple Function
Problem: Create a function to greet a person
Solution:
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"
user_name = input("Enter your name: ")
message = greet(user_name)
print(message)
Logic: Functions are reusable code blocks. def defines function, return sends value back to
caller.
Exercise 87: Function with Multiple Parameters
Problem: Create a function to calculate rectangle area
Solution:
def calculate_area(length, width):
area = length * width
return area
l = float(input("Enter length: "))
w = float(input("Enter width: "))
result = calculate_area(l, w)
print(f"Area: {result}")
Logic: Functions can take multiple parameters. Use descriptive parameter names for clarity.
Section 9: Dictionaries (Exercises 96-100)
Exercise 96: Basic Dictionary
Problem: Create a student dictionary and display information
Solution:
student = {
"name": "Alice",
"age": 20,
"grade": "A",
"subjects": ["Math", "Science", "English"]
}
print(f"Student: {student['name']}")
print(f"Age: {student['age']}")
print(f"Grade: {student['grade']}")
Logic: Dictionaries store key-value pairs. Access values using keys in square brackets.
Exercise 97: Dictionary Operations
Problem: Add, modify, and delete dictionary entries
Solution:
person = {"name": "John", "age": 25}
person["city"] = "Delhi" # Add new key-value
person["age"] = 26 # Modify existing
del person["city"] # Delete key-value
print(person.keys()) # All keys
print(person.values()) # All values
Logic: Dictionaries are mutable. Use square brackets to add/modify, del to remove, .keys()
and .values() for access.
