Welcome back to 100 Days of Python.
0:03
Wow, you're almost done.
0:04
It's the third day of the regex 3 days block.
0:08
I hope you're enjoying this and getting a good grasp
0:11
of writing regular expressions in Python.
0:13
So in this third day, let's get you some more practice,
0:17
and I have some exercises lined up for you.
0:21
First of all, we have, on our Code Challenges platform,
0:24
Bite 2, Regex Fun, where you can solve this problem
0:28
of extracting course times out of a string,
0:32
getting hashtags and links, and match the first paragraph.
0:38
Then we have mastering regular expressions
0:41
also as a blog challenge.
0:43
And if you like to work more in your own environment,
0:45
I encourage you to do this one because you get
0:48
a branch on the code challenges repo
0:52
and you can just work on your system.
0:54
And finally, I mean, those exercise,
0:57
we think are good practice, but of course feel free
0:59
to get your own data, and parse it,
1:03
use regular expressions to clean the data, etc.
1:07
It's actually how we got started with code challenges.
1:10
We came up with this exercise where we saw this
1:14
JavaScript course and we saw all these timings,
1:17
but there was not a total so the first
1:20
pilot code challenge was, go filter out these timestamps
1:25
and calculate what the total course time is.
1:28
It's not necessarily curriculum stuff,
1:30
but it gets you to practice.
1:33
And with practice comes mastery.
1:36
So use any data you want.
1:38
The goal is to use more regular expressions.
1:41
And don't forget to share your work on Twitter.
1:44
You can mention the handle @100DaysOfPython.
1:49
Good luck, have fun, and remember:
1:51
Keep calm and code in Python.
