The solution2:22
Variables5:09
Strings7:20
Let's write a program0:32
Review Python basics by exploring variables and data types like ints, floats, and strings, perform simple arithmetic, and learn input and print operations as you prepare to write a program.
Question 11:37
Practice coding problems by trying them on your own before checking the solution. First, ask for a circle radius, compute the area with pi r^2, and print the result.
Question 21:23
Convert a user's Fahrenheit input to Celsius by casting the input to float, applying the (f - 32) * 5/9 formula, and printing the result.
Question 32:17
Question 41:06
Question 53:25

Intro to conditionals6:38
Logical operators3:22
Not TRUE is FALSE3:13
IF statement4:44
More on strings5:30
More strings!4:56
Learn string manipulation in python by converting to upper or lower case and normalizing user input with lower. Build a season guessing game using if statements and proper indentation.
Practical challenge15:11
Practice hands-on python exercises that reinforce input handling and type conversion. Use if, elif, and else to validate ranges, convert inputs, and explore string length and swaps.

Intro to For loops8:14
Loops and lists8:14
A little more on variables3:04
Revisit variables and for loops, incrementing with x = 5 and x += 1, then assign y = x to show that later changes to x don't affect y.
Lists10:33
The power of lists and loops and working together7:11
Some list methods3:12
Explore Python list methods such as append, remove, reverse, extend, and index. See how these methods modify a list like My List and how the editor displays available list operations.
While loops7:31
Master while loops in Python by showing how they run while a condition is true, contrast them with for loops, and demonstrate user input, lists, and f-strings.
Modulus6:18
Practical challenge17:01
Develop practical Python skills using for and while loops, input validation, and basic programs: counting ranges, reversing strings, printing times tables, computing mean, factorial, Fibonacci, and odd/even lists.

Modules6:42
Dictionaries13:14
Explore dictionaries in Python: learn key-value pairs, fast lookups, and methods like get, keys, values, and items; count letters and visualize results with matplotlib.
Zip function3:09
More string methods2:27
Tuples2:52
More than 1 dimension4:18
Explore how nested lists and dictionaries hold data, access inner elements, and iterate country data. Learn to extract capitals and languages and convert dictionaries to a data frame for analysis.
Import counters (1/2)5:46
Import counters (2/2)9:58
Check a capitals dictionary for a user input country, printing the capital or a not found message, and explore dictionaries for fibonacci, date time, and a card deck.

Files and functions8:38
Learn how to work with Python files and functions by creating, opening, writing, reading, and closing text files, and using read lines and read line for line-by-line access.
Appending to a file3:00
Functions7:48
Fibonacci in a function5:34
Recursion6:29
More on functions7:36
Learn how Python functions return multiple values via tuples and unpacking, and how scope keeps function variables separate from the outer program; avoid mutable defaults by using None.
Practical challenge6:15
Practice building basic python functions such as sum_two, multiply with default parameter, and power with default, then perform file input output by writing, appending capitals, and copying file contents.

Objects6:01
Explore how Python treats every item as an object, combining data and functions, and learn about classes, objects, and dot notation through ints, lists, and dictionaries.
Class3:07
__Init__3:00
Class variables2:08
Methods3:51
Define methods inside a class and use self to reference the instance, enabling get_details to print the patient record and add_info to update conditions via dot notation.
Inheritance4:06
Practical exercise 14:27
Create a bank account class with a balance and methods for deposit, withdrawal, and display the balance. Learn object oriented programming using a constructor and self to manage data.
Practical exercise 21:25
