Course description

 Candidates for this exam should be able to recognize and write syntactically correct well documented Python 3 code that will logically solve a given problem, correctly use data types supported by Python, and use common libraries to write a program that solves a complex problem. Candidates are expected to have had at least 150 hours of instruction and/or hands-on experience with the Python programming language, be familiar with its features and capa bilities, and understand how to write, debug, and maintain well-formed, well-documented Python code

What will I learn?

  • Core Programming Skills: Basic Syntax and Concepts: Understand Python's syntax, variables, data types, and operators.
  • Control Structures: Write and implement conditional statements (if/else) and loops (for/while).
  • Functions and Modules: Define, use, and structure programs using functions and modules for code reusability.
  • Data Structures: Work with built-in data structures such as lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.
  • Data and File Handling: File Operations: Perform file handling operations, including reading from and writing to files.
  • Data Manipulation: Use Python to manipulate data, translate it into computer representations, and work with data frames.
  • Libraries: Utilize Python libraries and packages for specific tasks, such as data analysis and visualization.
  • Advanced Concepts: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Design and implement concepts like classes and inheritance to build more complex programs.
  • Database and Network Programming: Interact with databases and build applications for network programming.
  • Machine Learning & Web Services: Create Python code for basic machine learning tasks and develop web services.
  • Professional Skills : Problem-Solving: Develop an algorithmic approach to solve computational problems effectively.
  • Debugging: Apply debugging techniques to identify and resolve errors in Python code.
  • Logical Reasoning: Improve logical thinking and critical reasoning through programming exercises.

Frequently Asked Question

This course includes an overview of the various tools available for writing and running Python, and gets students coding quickly. It also provides hands-on coding exercises using commonly used data structures, writing custom functions, and reading and writing to files.

This is why Python, which is written in C, can be used on Windows, macOS, Linux, and many other operating systems.

One of the basic, written differences between Python and C++ is that C++ needs curly brackets and semicolons to work, whereas Python works by the indentation of code to create the structure. Python also sees the end of a line as the end of a code statement, whereas in C++ a semicolon indicates this.

Programmers often need clarification on whether Python is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language. The answer is quite simple: Yes!

A list is a data structure in Python that is a mutable, or changeable, ordered sequence of elements. Each element or value that is inside of a list is called an item. Just as strings are defined as characters between quotes, lists are defined by having values between square brackets [ ] .

Simply put, a module is a file consisting of Python code. It can define functions, classes, and variables and can also include runnable code. Any Python file can be referenced as a module. A file containing Python code, for example: test.py , is called a module, and its name would be test .

A function in Python is a reusable block of code designed to perform a specific operation, typically based on inputs (called parameters) and returning an output.

The Python equality operator ( == ) checks if two variables or values are equal. The result of the evaluation is either True or False . The equality operator returns True if the values are equal
