  • A script that gets as argument the URL of a web page and returns a list of the 100 most frequently used words inside it.

  • A script that calculates the Fibonacci numbers, using an iterative algorithm.

  • A script that solves the problem of Towers of Hanoi, using a recursive algorithm.

  • A script that collects web pages from the internet, starting from a root page, extracts the words in each page, and creates a list of words.
