Learning Outcomes:

  • Apply learned concepts to solve weekly programming exercises.
  • Develop a consistent coding practice through regular engagement with the material.
  • Evaluate and debug code effectively to enhance problem-solving skills.
  • Synthesise knowledge from previous weeks to tackle new and complex problems.
  • Build confidence and proficiency in using CodeRunner for the Tests.


Each week you will be given a new exercise to complete.

There are 10 exercises in total, so you can earn up to 5% of your final grade from these exercises.

Each exercise:

  • Is worth 0.5% of your final grade,
  • Opens automatically open at the start of the week (Monday 8am),
  • Closes automatically at the end of the week (Sunday 9pm),
  • Is not timed, so you can take as long as you need to complete it,
  • Is automatically marked by CodeRunner,
  • Must pass all the test cases to receive the mark (no partial marks are given – it’s all or nothing).

There is no late submission allowances for these exercises. You must submit your exercise before the deadline to receive a mark. Do not leave it to the last hour, in case it takes you longer than expected to complete the exercise.
