Demonstrates the print function and string basics. Covers concatenation with plus and comma, escape sequences, and embedding quotes with backslashes in paths.
Learn how variables act as placeholders in Python, enabling easy data changes without hard coding. Explore integers, strings, operations, and naming rules like underscores for leading numbers.
Learn to diagnose common Python errors, from typos and undefined names to indentation and syntax issues, and verify module availability and correct 64-bit versus 32-bit installations.
Learn how to read from a file in Python 3 by opening in read mode, using read or readlines, and splitting content by newline.
Learn the import syntax in Python, including importing modules, aliasing with as, selective from imports, and using from ... import * for functions like mean and standard deviation.
Learn Python error handling with try and except, catch specific errors such as type error and name error, log exceptions, and let programs continue rather than crashing.
Wrap up the Python basics by constructing a simple grade-tracking program that uses dictionaries, lists, and functions to add or remove students, log in, and compute averages.
