=== Weekly Coding Challenges ===

Most weeks I will give you all a set of weekly coding challenges before the end of class that will involve changing or adding to code that I've given you as part of the projects in the final parts of class to solve new problems. These coding challenges will occasionally be turned in but will not be graded on effort not full correctness.

I will share my solutions to each of the coding challenges in the subsequent class or via email. As you will see over the course of the quarter, there are many possible solutions to many programming problems and my own approaches will often be different than yours. That's completely fine! Coding is a creative act!

Please do not share answers to challenges before midnight on Sunday so that everybody has a chance to work through answers on their own. After midnight on Sunday, you are all welcome and encouraged to share your solutions and/or to discuss different approaches.  We will discuss the coding challenges for a short period of time at the beginning of each class.
