Advice on how to approach the exercise

The style of this exercise is a bit different than others. We advise you to work on every part of the exercise in its own python script, as this allows to maintain an easier overview for you. If you can't remember how to run Python scripts, check out our brief guide. In exercises there are provided some code templates, which you can directly copy into a script to start building your solutions.
