Is Subset of Another List
Write a function that returns True if every element in a given list exists in another list, ignoring duplicates.
Subset of another set
Write a function that checks if every element of one set is contained in another.
Power set size
Compute the size of the power set of a given sequence.
Subset XOR sum
Given a list of integers, compute the bitwise XOR of each non-empty subset and return the sum of those XOR totals.
Partition Equal Subset
Determine whether a given list of positive integers can be partitioned into two subsets with equal sum.
Target Sum Subsets
Write a function that counts the number of subsets of a list of positive integers that sum exactly to a target.
Count subsets with sum
Given a list of integers and a target sum, count how many subsets of the list sum to the target.
Subset Sum Exists
Given a list of positive integers and a target sum, return whether some subset adds up exactly to the target.
Subsets
Return all subsets (the power set) of a list of distinct integers.
Subsets II
Given a collection of integers that might contain duplicates, return all possible unique subsets.
Partition to k subsets
Determine if an array of positive integers can be partitioned into k subsets of equal sum using backtracking.
Partition Equal Subset Sum (Backtracking)
Write a function that uses backtracking to decide if a list of positive integers can be partitioned into two subsets with equal sum.
Letter Tile Possibilities
Given a string of letter tiles, count the number of distinct non-empty sequences that can be formed using any non-empty subset in any order.
Power set from set
Write a function to return the power set of a given list of distinct elements.
Patching Array
Given a sorted array of positive integers and a target n, find the minimum number of patches to make every number from 1 to n representable as a subset sum.
Job Sequencing with Deadlines and Profits
Given jobs with deadlines and profits, choose a subset that maximizes profit while meeting deadline constraints.

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.
