Where did the challenges go in my C++ class?

Question

I'm staggering through my first class, C++, with the first few lessons that involve all those beginning definitions and such, and was getting excited to see what the first Challenge was, hoping it would give me some things to practice programming on. I'm having a bit of trouble thinking up that many things I want to do, since this is "for fun and information".) But when I got there and clicked on the icon, nothing showed (except the eternal circle loop indicating that something wasn't loaded yet). After looking at other parts of the site that I wanted to be starting to get involved in and then going back to my class, the Challenge has disappeared, leaving me headed into the next lesson. Bummer! What happened to the Challenge and how can I get it back, please? Sorry if I seem a little lost, this is my first question here.

Answer 1

Are you using the desktop site or the mobile app? I need to know which "Challenge" are you referring to.

Answer 2

Oh I see! The loading progress for the challenge must have timed out and you were brought right to the next lesson. Unfortunately, I think the only way to re-encounter it would be to reset the course progress. The challenge is actually similar to questions asked throughout the previous slides, as a refresher to what has been learned. If resetting progress is too much fuss, it is OK to move on. I suggest the SoloLearn mobile app as you get to execute similar challenges against other users in your preferred programming language. It is also part of the XP system exercised here.

Answer 3

I'm on the desktop site. There used to be a challenge earlier this evening just downstream of the lesson on Classes and Objects, right upstream of More on Classes. It's no longer there. Thanks for responding.

Answer 4

Thanks for taking the time to pursue the issue and provide this information. Unfortunately I don't have a smartphone, so I don't think the app will work with my technology. I'll see what I can do with progressing further after figuring out some practice programs to cement some of these basics in. Thanks again!
