Graph DFS
Return all nodes reachable from a start node via DFS.
Path Sum II All Paths
Return all root-to-leaf paths where the sum of node values equals a target.
Reconstruct Itinerary
Given a list of airline tickets, reconstruct the itinerary in order using each ticket exactly once, choosing the lexicographically smallest path when multiple options exist.
Lowest Common Ancestor in a Binary Tree
Implement a function to find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two nodes in a binary tree.
Sum Root to Leaf Numbers
Given the root of a binary tree, compute the total sum of all root-to-leaf numbers.
Binary tree left side view
Given a binary tree, return the leftmost node's value at each depth, from top to bottom.
Articulation Points
Implement a function that returns the articulation points of an undirected graph.
Bridges in Graph
Implement a function that returns all bridges in an undirected graph.
Hamiltonian Path Check
Implement a function that checks whether an undirected graph has a Hamiltonian path using DFS and backtracking.
Course Schedule Can Finish
Given numCourses and prerequisites, return whether all courses can be finished without cyclic dependencies.
Graph Valid Tree
Determine if n nodes and an edge list form a valid tree (connected and acyclic).
All Paths from Source to Target
Given a directed acyclic graph, return all paths from node 0 to the last node.
Number of Islands
Given a 2D grid of '1' (land) and '0' (water), count the number of islands surrounded by water.

Practice Python by solving problems
PythonSkillset challenges are hands-on coding exercises from beginner to advanced. Open a challenge, read the problem, write Python in the split-pane editor, and run tests with Pyodide — no install required.
How to use the arena
- Pick a category — basics, algorithms, strings, and more
- Open a challenge, read the statement, and edit the starter code
- Run tests, fix failures, then try a related quiz or tutorial lesson
Challenges vs tutorials and quizzes
Challenges test what you can build under constraints. For guided teaching, use our Python tutorials. For quick checks, try quizzes or copy snippets from code samples.
