What do solutions look like?
This will depend on the type of challenge.

For programming challenges, the solution will be provided as a code listing in the language used in the blog post (e.g. Python, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, LMC, SQL, etc.). In most cases, the code will be provided “as is”. The solutions do not include step by step tutorials or detailed explanations. Here is an example of what a solution for a programming challenge looks like:
