Course Modules

Dive into the Introduction to Python Fundamentals course that encompasses four modules. Module 1 introduces Python programming, Module 2 delves into variables and operations, Module 3 covers flow control with branching, and Module 4 focuses on flow control with repetition. Each module provides a comprehensive learning experience to equip you with essential programming skills in Python.

Hello, Python

Module 1: Hello, Python

Module 1 offers an overview of the Python programming environment and introduces learners to the basic concepts of Python. Participants will gain hands-on experience in using variables, input/output, and flow controls to build simple Python programs.

Variables and Operations

Module 2: Variables and Operations

Module 2 delves into the fundamentals of variables and operations in Python. Participants will gain a solid understanding of different types of variables, arithmetic operations, and relational operations. This module equips learners with the skills to manipulate data effectively using Python.

Flow Control - Branching

Module 3: Flow Control - Branching

In Module 3, learners will explore flow control with a focus on branching and if statements. The module covers multiple branches and decision trees, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to control the flow of a program based on conditions. Participants will gain the skills to make informed decisions within their programs.

Flow Control - Repetition

Module 4: Flow Control - Repetition

Module 4 focuses on the necessity of repetitions in programming. Participants will learn about condition-based and count-based repetition, as well as the usage of continue and break statements. This module empowers learners to create efficient and dynamic programs through effective control of program repetitions.
