Seems good to me, with enough explanation. The only thing: should we add an indication to use a try/except statement for the error handling, or do you want them to guess that for the lessons?

valentineap commented 6 years ago

I think this is a good thing to add, but I wonder if it might be best done as a separate jupyter notebook.

I will think about this and do something appropriate.

valentineap commented 6 years ago

I think this guessing games practical in its current form follows nicely from the if-while practical.

Assigning to @rmcgirr94 for testing.

Tested, no problems, closing this issue.

I agree with introducing the concept of try/except later, this would be a good opportunity to explain the types of exceptions they are likely to come across and maybe introduce them to some debugging/testing methods as well?
