Code practice challenges

This time, these challenges are all about numbers but luckily you can choose any programming language you like to complete them. Check out the challenges below, and then do your best to find yourself at the top of the leaderboard!

Make The Smallest Number

In this task, you are asked to find the smallest positive number from the given array. Pretty easy, right? Simply complete this challenge and add 50 more points to your total score!

Prime Numbers Checker

Prime or composite? That is the question. If you’ve forgotten the difference here, it’s probably time to refresh your maths knowledge and jog your memory. All you do is check if the given number is a prime, and answer ‘True’ or ‘False’.

Number In Expanded Form

The next maths topic which deserves revision is ‘expanded forms’. In this challenge we ask you to present the given number in an expanded version. So, let’s say: 486; is it like ‘48+6’ or ‘400+80+6’? Let’s see!

Square Numbers Checker

Are you a whizz at exponentiation? Don't worry! We are not going to test you on huge exponents like 8, 15 or 22. Maybe 2 will be enough for this task. Do you remember which exponent to 2 gets you to 256? Amaze us with your skills and check you got the right exponential result!
