Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a function that checks if a number is prime and uses a nested function to perform the check. The nested function should be conditionally defined based on a flag to optimize the check for even numbers.

💡 Hint: Define inner function based on number properties.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a function apply_function that accepts another function and a list of numbers. The function should apply the given function to each number in the list, doubling its value if a global flag is set.

💡 Hint: Use loops and conditionals inside the function.
