I like a challenge... but for real, genuine question. Pro users preferred.

Question

My question is simple; can you complete every SoloLearn Pro practice without continuing to the next lesson? Like the title says I like to be challenged, however it seems the further I get the practices expect you to know/use code that hasn’t been explained yet. I try my best to complete them using what they just taught me, but I’m just wondering if I’m wasting time and should come back to some later? Let me know, thanks.

Answer 1

Now I see.
Practice 14.2 can be solved with a ternary operator.
I understand you. Sometimes I don't follow task descriptions to make my solutions shorter and faster.
So, it may be better to finish the course first and then go to practices.
But at the same time I think it may be better for beginners to start solving practices as soon as possible, going from bad solutions to more better. For example. Sololearn tells you to repeat some print statements in early practices, but later it introduces for loops and tells you to do a similar thing without code duplication.

If you can implement a shorter and more efficient solution - do it. SoloLearn doesn't stop you 🙂

Answer 2

Could you give us an example where a PRO practice requires some knowledge of the next lesson?

I usually go like this: read a lesson, solve the problem attached to it, go to the next lesson and repeat. I've never seen a PRO practice that requires more than I've learned.

Answer 3

Johnny Torres I just now looked at 14.2 as well and am wondering if you may not realize you may have covered the essentials needed to solve this?

Specifically, are up you struggling with figuring out how to determine even and odd numbers or is it something else that's throwing you off?

Answer 4

I usully do the same as well; I guess I shouldve worded the question a little different. Im not saying its impossible and asking “how will I ever get this done”, what im trying to say is; although possible, it seems rather tedious on some practices, when you can get the same results with less lines of coding, and im asking if its better to just finish the course, that way you could do the practices much quicker and easier or if its worth the struggle to figure it out with limitied resources?

Answer 5

And sorry the example i was talking about was in C++, under conditional and loops, its practice 14.2.
