Hi again, I've got a small coding challenge for you. 0:00

As you can see the files I have on screen have your challenge prompt in them 0:03

already, so you can either open up the workspace attached to this video or 0:08

grab the files from the downloads tab below the video to work locally. 0:12

Your challenge is to write code here in alphabet.py to find the word in 0:18

the list that would come first alphabetically. 0:22

You'll need to follow best practices in this module file by keeping your 0:26

code in a function or functions, and 0:31

then use Dunder main to hold code that would run as you test it out in practice. 0:33

Then you can import your code into the app.py file, which I've already done for 0:39

you here, and change out these two comments here at the bottom of the file. 0:44

You'll need to replace, 0:49

this func_name with whatever you end up naming your function. 0:51

That way, you can run app.py to test out your work, 0:55

to make sure that you're getting the correct responses, and 0:58

that nothing from alphabet.py is getting printed to the console. 1:01

And a quick hint, you can have your function either print or 1:06

return the correct word. 1:10

That's up to you, it doesn't matter to me. 1:12

But if you do, don't forget that if you return the word, 1:14

you would then need to put this wrapped inside of a print statement, so 1:18

that you can see the word in the console afterwards. 1:23

So find the word in the list that would come first alphabetically. 1:29

So for example, the word list here is a list of a few animals. 1:33

We have a hamster, turtle, cat, and bird. 1:38

When this list is sent to your function, 1:40

the function should return that the word bird is the word that would come first 1:42
