PPS - Programming & Problem Solving with Python (SPPU - FE)

Explore how if statements control program flow by evaluating conditions. Use conditional and else branches to execute code when conditions are true or false.

Explore if-else programs in Python by building two-number comparisons, handling equal cases, and applying control flow to currency conversion and basic login checks.

Explore nested if-else structures and how one if sits inside another. Implement else and else if with flowcharts and syntax to write Python code.

Learn nested if-else programming in Python, using modulus to classify numbers by digit count, and build a basic calculator with valid-choices handling and optimized conditional logic.

Explore how while loops drive iteration in Python, covering syntax, flowchart logic, and practical examples like summing the first n natural numbers and building simple looping programs.

Learn how to build Python while loop programs that repeatedly prompt for first name and last name, print a welcome message, and manage menu driven arithmetic operations with loop control.

Learn to use the for loop with range to generate sequences and control start, end, and step, and apply it to tasks like printing multiplication tables and counting blood groups.

Explore how a loop inside another loop forms nested loops in Python, including for inside for, while inside for, and while inside while, with execution flow and patterns.

Explore nested loops in Python by building factorial calculations and star-pattern programs using while and for loops, and prepare for unconditional control statements.

Learn how unconditional decision control statements in Python—break, continue, and pass, a null statement—alter loop flow with examples in for and while loops and contrasts between break and continue.

Master Python lists by creating and indexing them, using append, extend, and insert to add elements, and employing pop, remove, and del to delete items.

Explore list operations in Python, including indexing, modifying, deleting, traversing with for loops and range, list slicing, concatenation, repetition, sorting, and splitting strings into lists.

Explore tuples as immutable, comma-separated sequences in Python, learn their syntax with parentheses, perform indexing, slicing, concatenation, and repetition, and use zip, count, and index methods.

Explore Python dictionaries by learning key–value pairs, unique keys, and common operations: add, update, delete, search by key, access values, check key existence, and sort by keys.

Explore functions in Python, including syntax, parameters, and arguments, return values, and the distinction between local and global variables.

Explore types of arguments in Python functions, including passing values to a user defined function, using keyword arguments, and applying default values.

Explore modules and packages in Python and the role of documentation strings. Distinguish predefined versus user-defined models and practice importing and organizing code for clean, reusable programs.

Master strings in Python by learning concatenation, slicing, indexing, repetition, length with len, string methods, and Unicode value operations using ord and chr for characters.

Explore the four programming paradigms, compare monolithic, procedural, structured, and object-oriented approaches, and learn how classes, objects, inheritance, and data privacy guide paradigm choice.

Master the object oriented paradigm in Python by defining classes and creating objects. Access class and instance variables, and implement methods to model real world prototypes like Instagram.

Master methods and constructors in Python, using an Instagram-like example to show how objects perform follow and unfollow actions. Learn how self and class attributes initialize and manage object state.

Explore the pillars of object oriented programming—inheritance, abstraction, encapsulation, and polymorphism—through real world analogies like Instagram and Facebook, including simple, multiple, multilevel, and hybrid inheritance and public-private access control.

Explore how to work with files in Python by opening and reading file contents, performing basic file operations, and understanding how data is stored and processed.

Learn file operations in Python, including reading, writing, copying, and replacing content in a file, and sharpen problem solving with Python programming.

Learn to perform operations on directories and subdirectories using Python, with a module-based approach. Build core problem-solving skills in Python as you explore directories, operations, and related functions.
