Python Function Practice Exercises

Enhance your coding skills with Python Function Practice Exercises. Solve real-world problems, improve logic, and master Python functions with hands-on practice.

Problems are arranged in increasing difficulty:

Warmup – these can be solved using basic comparisons and methods
Level 1 – these may involve if/then conditional statements and simple methods

WARMUP SECTION:

LESSER OF TWO EVENS: Write a function that returns the lesser of two given numbers if both numbers are even, but returns the greater if one or both numbers are odd

lesser_of_two_evens(2,4) –> 2

lesser_of_two_evens(2,5) –> 5

Solution :

ANIMAL CRACKERS: Write a function takes a two-word string and returns True if both words begin with same letter

animal_crackers(‘Levelheaded Llama’) — > True

animal_crackers(‘Crazy Kangaroo’) — > False

solution :

MAKES TWENTY: Given two integers, return True if the sum of the integers is 20 or if one of the integers is 20. If not, return False

makes_twenty(20,10) –> True

makes_twenty(12,8) –> True

makes_twenty(2,3) –> False

LEVEL 1 PROBLEMS

OLD MACDONALD: Write a function that capitalizes the first and fourth letters of a name

old_macdonald(‘macdonald’) –> MacDonald

Note: ‘macdonald’.capitalize() returns ‘Macdon ald’

Solution :

MASTER YODA: Given a sentence, return a sentence with the words reversed

master_yoda(‘I am home’) –> ‘home am I’ master_yoda(‘We are ready’) —

> ‘ready are We’

Note: The .join() method may be useful here. The .join() method allows you to join together strings in a list with some connector string. For example, some uses of the .join() method:

>>> “–“.join([‘a’,’b’,’c’])

>>> ‘a–b–c’

This means if you had a list of words you wanted to turn back into a sentence, you could just join them with a single space string:

>>> ” “.join([‘Hello’,’world’])

>>> “Hello world”

Solution :

ALMOST THERE: Given an integer n, return True if n is within 10 of either 100 or 200

almost_there(90) –> True

almost_there(104) –> True

almost_there(150) –> False

almost_there(209) –> True

NOTE: abs(num) returns the absolute value of a number
