In this introductory lecture, we shall know about the instructor's education, skill, performance, experience, achievements, and approach to data science and Python.
In this lesson, we shall learn why we need coding? How does coding help us to become confident problem solvers? And how you will code? We shall describe it in a detailed and comprehensive way.
In this lesson, we shall learn why we are choosing Python as a programming language when there are a lot of other programming languages. We shall also describe the content which will be taught in session 1.
In this lesson, we shall describe Why Python is a high-level language along with its importance and technicality. We shall also describe the difference between low and high-level language.
In this lesson, we shall describe what is interpreted language? And why Python is an interpreted language. We shall explain how we can directly execute code by using Python language.
In this lesson, we shall learn the uses of Python and why it is easy to learn. We shall describe how Python is used in web development using Django and in many other domains.
In this lesson, we shall learn about Jupyter notebook and its relation to Python. How we can use it for coding in Python. We shall also learn what are language kernels and the various features of a language kernel.
In this lesson, we shall how to install Annocanda. We shall explain the process for Mac and Windows both. We shall explain how to get Jupyter notebook after installing Annocanda.
In this lesson, we shall learn how to create a simple Python project. We shall explain how to create the print variables and string by using Python. We shall explain the simple mathematics variable in Python.
In this lesson, we shall learn the use of the length function, arrays, and floating of data. We shall take the various examples to explain the concept in Jupyetr notebook by coding in Python.
In this lesson, we shall learn the difference between different Python versions. We shall explain how Python versions 2.x and 3.x are being used for coding. Moreover, we shall also explain which version is the best one and why that version is the best among others.
In this lesson, we shall learn what is concatenation and how to assign the values by using variables. We shall do it by taking the variables, numbers, and strings. We shall explain the concatenation concept by printing the "hello" world.
In this lesson, we shall learn basic python coding. We shall explain it by taking the variables and assigning the values to the variables. We shall also discuss the comparisons of different operators in Python. We shall try the different codes in Python to explain the concept in a detailed way.
In this lesson, we shall learn what are tokens, reserved words, or keywords. We shall talk about what are Boolean, collection, numerals, special, and string literals.
In this lesson, we shall learn what are identifiers in Python and how to use them while coding in Python. We shall talk about the upper and lower case identifiers as well. How to write (a-z) or (A-Z) or (0-9) as an identifier. We shall explain the method in a detailed way.
In this lesson, we shall learn what are loops and iteration in Python. We shall explain the FOR loop as an example illustration. We shall print the word "Good By" to explain the For loop.
In this lesson, we shall take an example of a FOR loop and explain how to print the strings and integers. We shall print the letters and integers by considering various ranges by coding in Python.
In this lesson, we shall explain what is IF statement is and how to use an IF statement. We shall also explain what is an iteration and while loop and where these can be used for coding in Python. We shall further explain how the execution of the IF statement exists while coding in Python.
In this lesson, we shall explain what is a while loop with an example and by coding in Python. Furthermore, we shall explain briefly the use of the while loop.
In this lesson, we shall learn how to break a statement while coding in Python. We shall also learn how to continue a statement and how to Pass a statement. We shall write the code in Python and explain it practically through coding in Python.
In this lesson, we shall explain what it means by the range functions and what are the types of the range functions. How to set the range and how range varies in different functions, we shall all explain in a detailed way.
