Python Essentials

Learn how to store, manipulate, and evaluate data using Python’s built-in types and operators.

• Declare variables and constants
• Use data types: int, float, str, bool
• Perform type casting and conversions
• Apply arithmetic, logical, and comparison operators

Control the flow of your program using conditional logic and loops.

• Write conditional statements: if, if-else, elif, nested if
• Use loops: for, while
• Apply loop control: break, continue, pass
• Build decision-based programs

Encapsulate logic into reusable blocks and explore Python’s modular architecture.

• Define and call functions
• Use parameters, arguments, and return values
• Understand scope and lifetime of variables
• Import built-in and custom modules
• Use math, random, and other standard libraries

Manipulate text and collections using Python’s powerful string and list features.

• Use string methods: slicing, formatting, searching
• Perform list operations: indexing, appending, removing
• Apply list methods: sort(), reverse(), count()
• Write list comprehensions for concise logic

Explore Python’s other core data structures and their unique properties.

• Create and use tuples for immutable sequences
• Perform set operations: union, intersection, difference
• Use dictionaries for key-value storage
• Apply dictionary methods: get(), items(), update()
• Choose the right data structure for the task

Learn how to read from and write to files, enabling data persistence.

• Open, read, write, and close text files
• Use with statement for safe file handling
• Work with CSV files using csv module
• Handle file exceptions gracefully

Apply everything you’ve learned in a mini project. Showcase your understanding through code review and presentation.

• Design and build a small Python application
• Apply modular code and data structures
• Demonstrate file handling and control logic
• Present code with clarity and receive feedback
