5 Famous Programmers and Their Catchy Quotes

Hi, guys!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve added a new article to our CheckiO blog in which we’re talking about the five famous programmers who’ve made a significant contribution to the world of IT and going over their quotes that became highly popular over the years.

Get a grip on your skills and knock the new missions we have for you dead:

The first one is called “Find Quotes” you are given a string with quotation marks and characters and you need to return an iterable consisting of all quotes.

find_quotes('"Greetings"') == ['Greetings']
find_quotes('Hi') == []

The second is the “Remove Brackets” mission and here you have to remove the unnecessary brackets with a minimum number of deletions to make them balanced.

remove_brackets('(()()') == '()()'
remove_brackets('[][[[') == '[]'

Don’t miss the articles we’ve selected for you this week:
• Try out walrus operator in Python 3.8! Alexander Hultner figures out how this new operator can be used in his own code and describes every step he takes.
• In the article “Python Itertools: For a faster and memory efficient code” you can see how easy it is to use itertools module and how much work it can do under the hood in a more memory efficient way.

The users who’ve made the TOP 3 this month are Phil15, JamesArruda, and przemyslaw.daniel. Great job! Keep on coding, guys!

Little by little CheckiO is starting to grow and now we have an opportunity to add a new Community-Hero into our team part-time. We have about 300 missions right now and need some help to clean this mess up. Are you interested?
