Challenge

Medium

In this challenge, you'll implement a multi-file library system with comprehensive test coverage. You'll work with three read-only files and one editable file that contains detailed TODO comments guiding your implementation:

  • book.py - Contains the Book class definition
  • user.py - Contains the User class you need to implement
  • library.py - Contains the Library class definition

Try it yourself

from user import User
from library import Library
