Tips

  • Make sure any data files your script reads (CSV, TXT, JSON) are in the same folder as your .py file.
  • Remove or guard any input() calls in your code. The grader cannot provide interactive input.
  • Do not call plt.show() in matplotlib assignments. The grader handles display.
  • If your script takes too long, it will time out (typically 30 seconds). Check for infinite loops.
  • Fix one failing test at a time and re-run. The grader re-executes your script fresh each time.
  • You need Python installed on your machine. The grader uses your Python environment to execute your code.
