+Exercise
+--------
+
+Write a program that calculates the similarity of 2 RNA sequences.
+
+* To compute the similarity you need to parse a file containing the :download:`similarity matrix <_static/data/similarity_matrix>`.
+
+  **Hint**: use the module containing the functions that handle a matrix from previous chapter.
+  put this matrix.py file in a directory named "my_python_lib" in your home or Desktop
+  and import it in your current program (the similarity script must be placed elsewhere).
+* The similarity of the 2 sequences is the sum of base similarities.
+  so you have to compare the first base of two sequences and use the matrix to get the similarity
+  from the similarity table, on so on for all bases then sum these similarities.
