Interactive Python Examples

Press the play icon to run your code. The output will be giving on the right hand panel.

You can modify the code and experience what learning Python is like!

Note: This is best viewed on a desktop. To reset the examples, navigate to the top left hand menu. Have Fun!

Multiplication Tables

Python can be used to create multiplication tables through applying loops. Loops are used to repeat certain segments of code and are a core feature of any programming language.

Challenge: Modify the below code to show multiples of 8 instead of 5

Exam Grading

We use conditionals (if-else statements) everywhere in our daily lives. A familiar example would be school subject grading. Click the right hand panel, enter your score and hit the enter key to know your grade

Challenge: Try adding more conditions to the list

2019 PSLE Triangle Problem

Math and coding are intricately linked. We can use Python to solve challenging problems such as the PSLE Triangle Problem. Where students are challenged to find the percentage of grey triangles in the 250th figure of the below pattern.

Given below are the first 3 figures of the pattern.

Challenge: Modify the code to find the percentage of grey triangle to total triangles in the 2500th figure.
