2,837 Pointswhat file are they referring to ?
a basic administrative question. often in the instructions for a code challenge , it says "check the file for an example". as in the example below. What file are they referring to, where do I find it?
example of a code challenge:
You've seen how random.choice() works. It gets a random member from an iterable (like a list or a string). I want you to try and reproduce it yourself. First, import the random library. Then create a function named random_item that takes a single argument, an iterable. Then use random.randint() to get a random number between 0 and the length of the iterable, minus one. Return the iterable member that's at your random number's index. Check the file for an example.
