[Tutor] Exercise to work on

[Joseph Lee]

Hi Keith,
It depends on what you want to do with Python in the end (by the 
way, if statement is not a function).

Here are some of my suggestions (based on current topics and 
things to come later):

1.  Write a loop which prints even numbers from 1 to 100.

2.  Write a program which determines if the entered number is an 
even or odd number.

3.  Given a string, locate the last occurrence of a character.

4.  Write a program that says number of characters in a string 
and whether it starts with a consonant or a vowel.

I think that's it for now.  Again the rest of the exercises that 
might show up might depend on your ultimate goal with Python (by 
the way, which version are you using?).  Other topics to learn 
about would be how to write functions, reading from a file, while 
and for loops and working with organized data such as lists and 
dictionaries.

Cheers,
Joseph
