area = rect_area(5, 3) perimeter = rect_perimeter(5, 3) print(f"Area: area, Perimeter: perimeter") Prompt: “Create a function is_palindrome(word) that returns True if the word reads the same forwards and backwards, ignoring case. Test it with 'Racecar'.”

The new curriculum marks as incorrect any solution that doesn’t use lower() or that prints inside the function. Troubleshooting: Common Errors in the "New" Python 2 Course Even with the correct answers, you might encounter validation errors. Here’s why:
Alice: 87.5 Bob: 80.0 Charlie: 90.0 Old solutions often used print() inside functions. The new curriculum enforces the single responsibility principle —functions should return values, not print. Challenge 5.1: Rectangle Calculator Prompt: “Write a function rect_area(length, width) that returns the area. Then write rect_perimeter(length, width) that returns the perimeter. Finally, call both with length=5, width=3 and print the results.” secret = 7 guess = 0 while guess
for i in range(1, 6): for j in range(1, 11): print(f"i x j = i*j") print("---") # Separator between tables Forgetting the separator line or using break incorrectly. Challenge 2.2: Sum of Even Numbers (New Data Filtering) Prompt: “Given a list numbers = [12, 3, 5, 8, 10, 7] , use a for loop to calculate and print the sum of only the even numbers.”
original = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] squared = [x**2 for x in original] print(squared) [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] Challenge 3.2: Filtering and Modifying (New Combined Logic) Prompt: “From temps = [32, 35, 28, 30, 40, 29] , create a new list hot_temps_f that contains only temperatures above 30°C, but converted to Fahrenheit (multiply by 9/5 and add 32).” Here’s why: Alice: 87
temps = [32, 35, 28, 30, 40, 29] hot_temps_f = [(c * 9/5) + 32 for c in temps if c > 30] print(hot_temps_f) [89.6, 95.0, 104.0] Module 4: Dictionaries – Real-World Data (The "New" Practical Approach) The old curriculum asked you to create static dictionaries. The new course requires user-built dictionaries from multiple inputs. Challenge 4.1: Phonebook Builder Prompt: “Write a program that repeatedly asks for a 'name' and 'phone number'. Store them in a dictionary. Stop when the user types 'done' for name. Then print the full dictionary.”
