About

Py-Gym is a collection of Python exercises aimed at beginners who are just starting their programming journey. The exercises cover a wide range of topics, from basic syntax and data structures to more advanced concepts. By working through these exercises, you'll gain hands-on experience and build a strong foundation in Python programming.

Getting Started

To get started with Py-Gym, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mbahomaid/py-gym.git

2. Navigate to the Repository:

   cd py-gym

3. Set Up Your Environment:

   • Ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from python.org.
   • It's recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies:

     python -m venv venv
     source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`

4. Install Dependencies:

   • Currently, there are no external dependencies required for these exercises. However, if any are added in the future, you can install them using:

     pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Start Solving Exercises:

   • Navigate to the exercises directory and start working on the exercises. Each exercise is contained in its own file with a description and a placeholder for your solution.

Exercises

The exercises are organized by topic and difficulty level. Here's an overview of the current structure:

• Basic Exercises: These exercises cover fundamental Python concepts such as variables, data types, loops, and conditionals.
• Data Structures: Exercises focusing on lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets.
• Functions: Practice defining and using functions, including lambda functions and recursion.
• File Handling: Learn how to read from and write to files.
• Error Handling: Exercises on using try-except blocks to handle exceptions.
• Advanced Topics: As you progress, you'll encounter exercises on more advanced topics like object-oriented programming, modules, and libraries.

Each exercise file contains a problem statement and a placeholder for your solution. Feel free to modify and experiment with the code to deepen your understanding.
