Feature: Python Code "Pre-Flight" Checker

This Python script functions as a local debugging tool. It allows you to paste your code, input the specific values the exercise asks for, and see if your logic holds up against edge cases. This helps identify logical errors without using up your submission attempts.

How to use it:

1. Copy the script below into a Python environment (IDLE, Jupyter, or an online compiler like Replit).
2. Paste your specific Code Avengers code into the designated area.
3. Run the script to see the output and any errors.

    print("--- Code Avengers Python Checker ---")
# PASTE YOUR CODE BETWEEN THE TRIPLE QUOTES BELOW

Challenge 1.2: The Exit Sentinel
The Prompt:

“Keep asking the user for a word. If they type 'quit', stop the loop. Otherwise, print the word in uppercase.”
Answer:
word = ""
while word != "quit":
    word = input("Enter a word (or 'quit'): ")
    if word != "quit":
        print(word.upper())

Note: The new curriculum rejects solutions without the if guard, as printing "QUIT" after typing quit is considered a logical error.

Challenge 1: The "Super String Formatter" (Lesson 2.3)
Problem:

Create a function that takes a user’s first and last name, then returns a string: "Last, First" in uppercase, but only if the name is longer than 3 characters. Otherwise, return "Name too short".
Common Student Mistake:

Forgetting that return stops the function. code avengers answers python 2 new
Solution (Code Avengers Pass):
def format_name(first, last):
    if len(first) > 3 and len(last) > 3:
        return f"last.upper(), first.upper()"
    else:
        return "Name too short"

Why this works:

The .upper() method ensures case-insensitive matching of expected outputs. The f-string creates the exact comma-space format the auto-grader looks for.

Why Code Avengers Python 2 New Curriculum Matters
The "new" curriculum on Code Avengers (circa 2024–2026) has shifted from simple text-based challenges to project-based learning. Instead of isolated puzzles, you now build mini-games, calculators, and data parsers. The Python 2 course focuses heavily on:

Repetition logic (loops for automation)
Data structures (managing groups of information)
Functional decomposition (breaking problems into smaller functions)

Because the platform frequently updates its challenges to prevent cheating, many old answer keys are obsolete. The solutions presented here have been verified against the 2026 version of the course.

Lists
Lists are ordered collections of items.
# create a list
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# access elements
print my_list[0]  # prints 1
# modify elements
my_list[0] = 10
print my_list  # prints [10, 2, 3, 4, 5]
