Coding Test 1's Practice Problems in Python #61

Closed withlovee closed 9 years ago

withlovee commented 9 years ago

I've converted the practice problems for coding test 1 to Python. For all python lovers. :)

rglassett commented 9 years ago

This is very nice work; however, I don't think it makes sense to add Python problems and solutions for a couple of reasons:

1) Simply copying the problems and solutions into Python doesn't add any new or valuable information to the prep work curriculum. On the contrary, it makes the repository more difficult to maintain. If the same information exists in two places, there is a greater chance that the information will fall out of sync. 2) We are a Rails and Backbone bootcamp, and students work primarily in Ruby for the first half of our curriculum. As such, we want to encourage students to get familiar with that language (and not necessarily Python).

I'm closing this issue for now. If things change, we can revisit this PR.
