Replit.com
As you progress through this course, you will occasionally encounter embedded Repls that are hosted on Replit.com.
Replit.com is a collaborative online IDE that supports more than 50 languages, and a Repl is an instance of a project hosted on Replit.com.
We have used Repls to provide interactive, working examples of code for the languages covered in this course.
To interact with a Repl, just click the play button in the centre or the Repl, to see its output and to provide user input if it is required.
You can view the source code of a Repl by toggling the “show/Hide files” button in the top left corner.
If you want to experiment with a Repl by investigating, modifying or adding to the source code, you will need to “Open on Replit” using the button in the top right corner, then click the “Remix Repl” button on the following screen to fork the project into your own account.
Replit accounts are free, and sign-up can be completed using your Google, Github or Facebook account or by providing a username and email address.
You can use Replit.com to work on projects and assessments delivered during this course, share examples in the forums, and collaborate with team members on shared projects.
