Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create a Python script that simulates fetching data from three different APIs concurrently using asyncio. Structure your code using coroutines and handle all responses in a single main function.

💡 Hint: Think about how each API call would take time and should be executed in the background while you prepare the print statement.

Challenge 2 Hard

Write a program that manages multiple file reads using asyncio, ensuring no 'blocking' occurs when waiting on I/O operations. Include error handling for file absence.

💡 Hint: Consider how to structure your function calls to wait for multiple files to be read while ensuring any missing files are properly caught.
