Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you are implementing a function that returns the sum of the values in a list until it encounters a specific stop value. Write a function using break to achieve this.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What condition would determine when to stop adding your values?

Question 2

Design a loop that collects user input until they type 'exit', using a break statement. What will you return?

πŸ’‘ Hint: How would you know when to stop collecting inputs if 'exit' is typed?
