💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '<' instead of '>=' causes weak passwords to pass.

The password is strong if its length is greater than or equal to 8 characters.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to check if user input matches the expected secret key.

Testing Fundamentals

def check_secret_key(input_key, secret_key):
    return input_key [1] secret_key

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A!=

B==

C>

D<

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '!=' will return True when keys do not match.

We want to confirm the input matches the secret key exactly, so we use '=='.

Fix the error in the code that checks if a user role is 'admin' to allow access.

Testing Fundamentals

def has_access(user_role):
    if user_role [1] 'admin':
        return True
    return False

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

D=

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' instead of '==' causes syntax errors.

Use '==' to compare values. '=' is assignment and causes an error here.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary of users with their access levels, including only those with level above 3.

Testing Fundamentals

users_access = {user: level for user, level in user_levels.items() if level [1] 3 and user [2] 'guest'}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A>

B==

C!=

D<

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '<' or '==' will include wrong users.

We want users with level greater than 3 and user not equal to 'guest'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to filter a dictionary of users with uppercase names, their scores, and only those with scores above 50.

Testing Fundamentals

filtered_scores = {user[1]: score for user, score in scores.items() if score [2] 50 and user [3] 'admin'}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A.upper()

B>

C!=

D.lower()

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '.lower()' changes case incorrectly.

Using '<=' includes low scores.

User names are converted to uppercase with '.upper()'. Scores must be greater than 50, and user 'admin' is excluded.
