By the end of this course, learners will be able to install Python correctly, configure their environment, and execute scripts confidently. They will apply variables, lists, strings, and type conversions; construct input/output programs; and implement arithmetic operations. Learners will also analyze and design loops for prime numbers, Fibonacci sequences, and pattern generation, and build modular programs with functions, parameters, and return values.

There are 2 modules in this course
This module orients beginners to the Python ecosystem and gets them hands-on quickly. Learners install Python correctly (including PATH), verify the interpreter/IDLE, and run first scripts from the command line. Through practical, bite-sized examples they practice input/output, numeric and string conversions, and core data types. The module closes by firming up essentials—variables, lists, slicing, and basic control flow—so learners can write small, correct programs and debug simple mistakes confidently.

This module deepens problem-solving with Python by mastering iteration patterns and modular design. Learners explore for/while, ranges, and nested loops to generate numeric sequences and text patterns, then encapsulate logic using functions with parameters, returns, and defaults. They implement classic algorithms (prime checks, Fibonacci, HCF/GCD–LCM) and craft advanced pattern programs (centered pyramids, Pascal’s triangle, Floyd’s triangle) while practicing input validation and clean program structure.
