Learning Outcomes
1Understand the logic of algorithms and develop problem-solving skills. Utilize fundamental data structures (list, tuple, dictionary, set) in Python programming. Develop logical algorithms using conditional statements and loops. Write efficient programs by reducing code redundancy with functions and modular programming. Apply file operations and error handling techniques. Learn object-oriented programming concepts and use classes and objects. Gain analytical thinking and systematic code development skills in programming projects. Apply various data processing and analysis techniques using Python libraries. Develop software solutions for real-world problems. Improve teamwork and project management skills to contribute to software development processes.
