12. Final Challenge¶
Welcome to the last stage of your Python refresher! This challenge brings together everything you have practiced so far: variables, user input, conditionals, loops, and a bit of creative thinking.
You will complete the activity directly in Google Colab, using the notebook provided below.
🧭 Context: Haven-42, The Last Safe Dome¶
After the Great Zombie Misunderstanding™, the world is... mostly fine. Humans and semi-polite zombies coexist with only the occasional "Was that a greeting or a groan?" confusion.
You are the new Intake Officer at Haven-42. Your job:
- Talk to incoming survivors.
- Evaluate their answers.
- Decide: Admit, Quarantine, or Reject.
Use your Python logic to keep things (relatively) under control.
💡 Tips Before You Begin¶
- Run the notebook top to bottom.
- Test your code often - small steps help.
- The story is light and fictional; don't overthink it.
- Use your logic; creativity is a plus.
🎯 What You Will Practice¶
- Using
input(). - Making decisions with
if / elif / else. - Combining conditions with Boolean logic.
- Handling multiple cases with loops.
- Structuring clear output.
