Python Beginner Exercises 🏋️🐍

Small, runnable practice exercises for new Python programmers — each with a built-in self-check and a worked solution.

These exercises mirror the learning track on pythonbeginner.help. Read a topic, then practice it here.

How to use

1. Make sure you have Python installed (3.8+).

2. Open an exercise in the exercises/ folder and complete the TODO.

3. Run it — each file checks your answer with assert and prints ✅ when it passes:

   python exercises/01_variables.py

4. Stuck? Compare with the matching file in solutions/.
