Course UNIT I
Content Introduction- Why we program, creativity and motivation,
computer hardware architecture, Understanding
programming, Words and sentences, conversing with
Python, terminology: interpreter and compiler, writing a
program, what is a program, the building blocks of
programs, what could possibly go wrong, the learning
journey.
Variables, expressions and statements-Values and types,
variables, variable names and keywords, statements,
operators and operands, expressions, order of operations,
 modulus operator, string operations, asking the user for
input, comments, choosing mnemonic variable names,
debugging.
UNIT II
Conditional execution- Boolean expressions, logical
operators, conditional execution, alternative execution,
chained conditionals, nested conditionals, catching
exceptions using try and except, short circuit evaluation of
logical expressions, debugging.
Functions- Function calls, built-in functions, type
conversion functions, random numbers, math functions,
adding new functions, definitions and uses, flow of
execution, parameters and arguments, fruitful functions and
void functions, why functions, debugging.
UNIT III:
Iteration- Updating variables, the while statement, infinite
loops, infinite loops and break, finishing iterations with
continue, definite loops using for, loop patterns, debugging.
Strings- A string is a sequence, getting the length of a
string using len, traversal through a string with a loop,
string slices, strings are immutable, looping and counting,
the in operator, string comparison, string methods, parsing
strings, format operator, debugging.
UNIT IV:
