Answers should be legal Python code, including indentation. Use the underscore _ to show a space.
Special functions: print(), range(), sqrt(), str()
Assume you have a non-empty list of numbers Z. Write code to find the biggest number in the list.

Use: variables, loops, if[2]

Test Using:
Z = [1,2,3]
Z = [3,2,1,0]
Z = [31,40,67]
Assume you have a list variable LIST. Count the number of items in LIST and print the result.

Use: loops, variables[2]

Test Using:
LIST = ['a','b','c']
LIST = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
LIST = []
A right angled triangle has a hypotenuse (longest side, opposite the right angle) of 9 and another side of 6. Calculate the length of the missing side.

Use: variables, sqrt()[2]
A list contains a series of attacks on an enemy. The list looks like [1,2,3,1,1,2,...] where each element in the list is a number that means a type of attack:

1 is a light attack, taking 1HP
2 is a medium attack taking 5HP
3 is a strong attack taking 15HP

Write code to calculate the total amount of HP damage caused by all the attacks.

Use: variables, loops, if[3]

Test Using:
attacks = [1,2,3]
attacks = [1,2,3,3,2,1]
attacks = [99,68,1]
Do the sum 90 / 49 in code and store the result

Use: variables[1]
Assume you have a variable VAR. If VAR is bigger than 8 print "big", otherwise print "small"

Use: variables, if[2]

Test Using:
VAR = 0
VAR = 5
VAR = 10
Print each number from 0 to 23

Use: loops[2]
Assume you have 2 lists of numbers with 16 elements each: Y and VAR. Add the 8th elements of the lists together.

Use: variables[1]

Test Using:
Y = [1,2,3,...,16], VAR = [1,2,3,...,16]
