Creating Exercises

Every instructor can create their own exercises for Dodona.

Comprehensive Tutorial

If you have never created an exercise for Dodona before, we recommend starting with our tutorial that explains how to create an exercise from A to Z.

Types of Exercises

We also have examples of four common types of exercises:

• Input-Output Exercise: an exercise where input is read and a result is output
• Function Exercise: here, a function must be written that returns a value
• Class Exercise: here, a class must be written
• Argument Exercise: here, a program must be written that accepts arguments

These tutorials assume that you already have a repository with exercises. If not, it is best to follow the comprehensive tutorial first.

Test suites

If you are working with the recommended judge, we have the following additional documentation:

• Test suites for exercises: explanation of the test suites and the different functions that exist.

Examples
