Exercise 1: XP Calculator

Your Task

In many games, you earn XP (experience points) to level up. Write a function that calculates how much XP you need.

Write a function xp_needed(level) that:

• Takes a player's current level
• Returns the XP needed to reach the next level
• Formula: level × 100

Starter Code

def xp_needed(level):
    # Your code here
    pass

# Test your function:
print(xp_needed(1))   # Should print: 100
print(xp_needed(5))   # Should print: 500
print(xp_needed(10))  # Should print: 1000

Hints

def xp_needed(level):
    return level * ___

def xp_needed(level):
    return level * 100

Bonus

Write a second function xp_message(level) that prints (not returns) a message like:

You need 500 XP to reach level 6

Use your xp_needed function inside it!

def xp_message(level):
    xp = xp_needed(level)
    print(f"You need {xp} XP to reach level {level + 1}")
