Sports Adviser Program (Python Challenge)

Choosing a sport can be tricky! Some people enjoy team sports, others prefer individual sports. Some love being outdoors, while others prefer indoor activities.

In this Python challenge, you will create a simple sports adviser program that asks the user a series of questions and then recommends a sport based on their answers.

This challenge is perfect for practising:

  • input() statements
  • if / elif / else conditions
  • Boolean logic
  • Simple decision trees

Challenge Objective

Your program should ask questions such as:

  • Do you like team sports?
  • Do you prefer indoor or outdoor sports?
  • Do you enjoy water activities?
  • Do you like fast-paced sports?
