Description: # Practice with <code>exbook</code> Package
        
        The package <code>exbook</code> is used for practicing basic Python programming. So far there are totally 36 questions with different difficulty levels. For the purpose of practicing, you are recommended to only use basic built-in functions like <code>find()</code>, <code>min()</code>, <code>max()</code> and <code>sum()</code>. Imported packages or more advanced functions or methods, such as <code>sort()</code>, <code>argmin()</code>, or <code>split()</code> should be avoided. 
        
        ## Steps of running <code>exbook</code>
        
        ### Step 1: import the exercise book
        
        
        ```python
        from exbook import book as eb
        
        len(eb)
        ```
        
        
        
        
            36
        
        
        
        The variable <code>eb</code> is a tuple containing 36 questions.
        
        ### Step 2: print questions
        
        Each question can be retrieved by the corresponding indices, and can be printed by the function <code>print()</code>. 
        
        
        ```python
        print(eb[0])        # Print the first question
        ```
        
            Define a function with two strings to be the input arguments. The output is 
            the summation of the numerical values of the input strings. For example, if 
            the input strings are "3.5"and "2.7", then the output is 6.2, as a floating
            point number.
        
        
        
        <div>
        <table border="1" class="dataframe">
          <thead>
            <tr style="text-align: right;">
              <th></th>
              <th>Input1: str</th>
              <th>Input2: str</th>
              <th>Output: float</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <th>Test 1:</th>
              <td>3.5</td>
              <td>2.7</td>
              <td>6.2</td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>
        </div>

        The printed question information includes: 1) the description of the question; 2) sample inputs and outputs; and 3) the ID and difficulty level of the question.
        
        ### Step 3: write a function to solve the question
        
        
        ```python
        def dtc(string1, string2):
            
            return float(string1) + float(string2)
        ```
        
        ### Step 4: check the correctness of the question
        
        The <code>exbook</code> package checks the correctness of the user-defined functions by a number of hidden tests. These tests can be run by the method <code>check()</code>. 
        
        
        ```python
        eb[0].check(dtc)
        ```
        
            You passed 3 of the 3 tests. 
            The solution is correct
        
        
        In case you want to know what is wrong with the tests, you may specify the argument <code>cheat=True</code> to show the results of these hidden tests.
        
        
        ```python
        eb[0].check(dtc, cheat=True)
        ```
        
        
        <div>
        <table border="1" class="dataframe">
          <thead>
            <tr style="text-align: right;">
              <th></th>
              <th>Input 1: str</th>
              <th>Input 2: str</th>
              <th>Your output</th>
              <th>Correct output: float</th>
              <th>Correct</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <th>Test 1:</th>
              <td>3.5</td>
              <td>2.7</td>
              <td>6.2</td>
              <td>6.2</td>
              <td>True</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <th>Test 2:</th>
              <td>1.2</td>
              <td>5</td>
              <td>6.2</td>
              <td>6.2</td>
              <td>True</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <th>Test 3:</th>
              <td>2</td>
              <td>4</td>
              <td>6.0</td>
              <td>6</td>
              <td>True</td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>
        </div>
        
        
            You passed 3 of the 3 tests. 
            The solution is correct
