About the Course

Course Description

Python is a popular high-level programming language known for its simplicity, readability and versatility. It is used for a wide variety of applications, including web development, scientific computing, data analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning. In this course, you will typically start by learning the basic concepts of the language including variables, data types, control flow, functions and modules. From there, you will learn more advanced topics such as object-oriented programming, file I/O, error handling and regular expressions. This course will provide you with a strong foundation in programming with python and the ability to apply this knowledge to a wide range of applications. In this course, you will learn about different modules and how to import them. This course covers single line and multi-line comments in python, variables and different data-types in Python such as Numbers, Strings, Lists, Tuples and Dictionaries. After that, students will learn about arithmetic operators order of operation, conditional operators and logical operators. In addition, you will also learn about conditional statements such as if, else and else-if statements, different types of loops such as for and while loops, break and continue statements.

Objectives
