What i the difficulty niveau of the arithemic formatter

Python
1

I am currently working on the arithemic formatter project because I want to put the certificate in my application for an internship. However, I would be interested in what the estimated difficulty of the project is and since I have never had computer science lessons at school, I am pretty clueless.
By level I mean whether it could occur in an exam, for example in secondary school or university

Have you completed the freeCodeCamp curriculum up until this point? That’s what I would recommend if you want to tackle this project.

Hello,

My opinion is that the arithmetic formatter project is for beginners and it has entry level coding.
You need to know to use functions, lists, conditionals, and string manipulation and formatting.
You can use freecodecamp.org to learn those concepts.

As for your second question, I don’t know if this can occur in any exams. It depends on the ones that prepare the exam subjects and on the level they want for that exam.

Anyway, I wish you luck with your project and with the internship you apply for.

first of all, thank you for your reply, I have no problems with the project i was simply interested in its difficulty. I have completed the 14 hour leacy python for everybody course from doctor charles severace.

The arithmetic formatter project is considered an entry-level programming task, typically suited for beginners learning Python. It involves basic string manipulation, formatting, and logic, making it comparable to high school or introductory university-level exercises. If you’re new to coding, it might take some time, but it’s a great way to practice problem-solving and improve your skills for your internship application.

ye i just finished it. Thank you for the information. It was indeed simple. I just forgot the string alligning method and wrote 40 unusefull lines

Whats your opinion on the other cert. projekts. Are they harder? I think that this calender thin is simpler than the formatter…

Welcome to the Forum @leonkeddo52

If you’ve never had any computer science lessons at school, I’d suggest completing the first 5 projects in the course before moving onto a certification project.

Here is the curriculum for Scientific Computing with Python.

Scientific Computing with Python Certification | freeCodeCamp.org

Edit: Here is an Undergraduate course that was taught in fall 0f 2016, that gives an understanding of it for people with little to no experience with Scientific Computing with Python. This is a free course, I started taking it, I do have some coding knowledge with PHP, Lua, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, React, Bootstrap, ect. The course is good, could be better, but it’s a free course so I’m not complaining

It depends on your experience and how comfortable you are with different programming concepts. The calendar project might seem simpler since it mainly deals with date logic, while the arithmetic formatter requires more string manipulation and formatting.
