1. Congratulations!
Congratulations on completing the course!
2. Tools that you have learned
Through the various puzzles, you learned a number of tools that can be used to tackle other problems.
We learned to code combinatorics to solve for exact theoretical solutions, such as in the Yahtzee and Texas Hold'em exercises.
We learned several tools to code simulated answers to our puzzles.
We also introduced a handful of other functions.
3. Where to go next
You can do so many things with these tools!
First, you can tackle other combinatorics problems that were not in this course, including the puzzles in which we only found simulated solutions, such as the birthday problem or the iPhone passcodes. The combinatorics functions that we learned can be used to find theoretical solutions to many problems.
Second, the tools you learned are directly transferable to Monte Carlo techniques, which refers to the class of mathematical tools in which simulation is used to obtain an answer. One of the most widely-used of these techniques is known as Markov chain Monte Carlo, or MCMC, and is particularly useful in Bayesian data analyses.
You can learn more about these ideas in the other DataCamp courses listed here.

Again, congratulations on finishing this course, and best wishes going forward!
