Each item is a list with three values:

The proportion of the credit available for the part to award if this test is passed.
The code to run.

Validation tests

xxxxxxxxxx

Each item is a list with two string values:

A name which will be shown to the student if the test fails.
The code to run.

Variables to include in code

xxxxxxxxxx
 
dict()

Give a dictionary mapping variable names to their values. These variables will be available in the code that is run.

Advice

In Python, the first item in a list has index 0.

So, seq[0] returns the first item in seq.

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
