School Catalogue
It's time to build fluency in Object-oriented Python. In this next project, we're going to practice Classes in Python so you can hone your skills and feel confident taking them to the real world. Why? You'll gain confidence in extending classes to their subclasses, then linking their shared methods and properties. What's next? NYC schools, a digital catalog, more inheritance. You got this! - practice Project
Create your own Higher Order Functions
Practice creating custom higher-order functions. - practice Project
ATM Logging
You are developing a mobile ATM application that will handle bank transactions such as deposits and withdrawals. With the original design of this application, you used print statements to print helpful information to the console, such as amounts entered for each transaction, transaction status, and date and timestamps to see when each transaction occurred.
