Learn Python basics, including proper syntax and indentation, using the print function to display hello world and explore integers, floats, strings, and booleans.
Learn how to declare variables, assign data types, and perform arithmetic, comparison, and logical operations in Python, with examples like area calculation and even-odd checks.
Explore input and output operations in Python using the input and print functions to create interactive programs. Learn through a two-number calculator and formatted student output.
Explore Python conditional statements, including if, else, and elif, to branch code based on conditions, using age-based adulthood checks and a score-based grading system.
Explore loops in Python, focusing on for and while loops, and learn how to repeat actions, print 1 to 5, count down, and sum numbers in a list using range.
Explore break and continue statements in Python loops through practical examples—exiting a loop when a target is found, skipping iterations, printing even numbers, and checking primes up to 20.
Define functions in Python using def, with parameters and return; create a simple function, a rectangle area function with length and width, and a default-parameter greeting.
Learn how function parameters and arguments define inputs in Python, including positional parameters, default parameters, and keyword arguments, with practical examples of adding numbers.
Learn how Python functions return values, from simple single-value returns to multiple values via tuples, and apply return values to calculations like the area of a rectangle.
Explore Python scope by distinguishing local, enclosing, global, and built-in variables, and learn to modify globals inside functions with the global keyword, plus practical examples of local versus global usage.
Explore recursive functions in Python, learning how a function calls itself to solve problems, stops with a base case, and implement factorial, Fibonacci, and list sum examples.
Explore Python lists as the versatile, mutable data structure that stores multiple values of any type, offering indexing, modification, appending, removing, and slicing with practical examples.
Python tuples are immutable, ordered collections that store multiple items in a single variable. Learn to define tuples with parentheses, index elements, unpack values, and return multiple values from functions.
Explore dictionaries in Python, an unordered mutable data structure of key value pairs used to store, lookup, modify, and loop through data with examples like name, age, and grade.
Explore Python sets as unordered collections of unique items, and learn to add, remove, discard elements, and perform union, intersection, subset, and superset operations.
Explore string manipulation in Python by slicing, upper and lower case conversion, splitting, replacing, and f-strings to build dynamic text.
Learn how to import and use modules in Python, explore built-in modules like math and random, and apply from import and dot notation to access functions and constants.
Learn to create Python modules as separate files containing functions and variables to organize and reuse code, import them, and use add and subtract functions in scripts.
Explore built-in Python modules math, random, datetime to perform calculations, generate randomness, and manage dates and times with examples like sqrt, power, pi, random integers, color choices, and date-time formatting.
Explore the fundamentals of object oriented programming by building a car class with attributes, an init method, and a display method, instantiate objects, and access data via dot notation.
Explore how Python inheritance lets a child class inherit methods and attributes from a parent class, using a vehicle example to display information.
Explore polymorphism by using a single interface to operate different object types, as dog and cat override speak to produce distinct sounds in an animal hierarchy.
Learn to read and write files in Python using the open function, explore common modes like read, write, and append, and practice safe file handling with the with statement.
Learn python file modes: read, write, and append, and how to open files accordingly, including cautions about overwriting content and appending data.
Learn how to implement exception handling in Python using try, except, and finally to gracefully manage errors, such as zero division and missing files, and ensure program stability and cleanup.
