This mini coding challenge serves as a pre-assesment for participants before the MiCM Python for Biologists: Beyond the Basics workshop, which should be completed prior to the workshop start date.

Participants should already be familiar with basic programming in Python (variables, lists, loops, functions, conditional statements, printing to console, basic string manipulation), and have written at least a few small programs from scratch to solve problems.

There are a total of four (4) biology-themed questions, each of which should be accessible to participants with basic knowledge of the Python programming language. Knowledge of these basics will be assumed, and not covered during the workshop!
