Unit 1: Computer Systems and ● Basic computer organisation: Introduction to Computer System, hardware, software,
Organisation input device, output device, CPU, memory (primary, cache and secondary), units of
memory (bit, byte, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB) ● Types of software: System software (Operating
systems, system utilities, device drivers), programming tools and language translators
(assembler, compiler, and interpreter), application software ● Operating System(OS):
functions of the operating system, OS user interface ● Boolean logic: NOT, AND, OR,
NAND, NOR, XOR, NOT, truth tables and De Morgan’s laws, Logic circuits ● Number

number systems ● Encoding Schemes: ASCII, ISCII, and Unicode (UTF8, UTF32)
June Summer vocation Revision of April & May
July Unit 2: Computational Thinking ● Introduction to Problem-solving: Steps for Problem-solving (Analyzing the problem,
and Programming - I developing an algorithm, coding, testing, and debugging), representation of algorithms
using flowchart and pseudocode, decomposition ● Familiarization with the basics of Python
programming: Introduction to Python, Features of Python, executing a simple “hello world"
program, execution modes: interactive mode and script mode, Python character set,
Python tokens( keyword, identifier, literal, operator, punctuator), variables, concept of l-
value and r-value, use of comments ● Knowledge of data types: Number(integer, floating
point,complex), boolean, sequence(string, list, tuple), None, Mapping(dictionary), mutable
and immutable data types.
August ● Operators: arithmetic operators, relational operators, logical operators, assignment
operators, augmented assignment operators, identity operators (is, is not), membership
operators (in not in)● Expressions, statement, type conversion, and input/output:
precedence of operators, expression, evaluation of an expression, type-conversion (explicit
and implicit conversion), accepting data as input from the console and displaying output. ●
Errors- syntax errors, logical errors, and run-time errors ●
September Flow of Control: introduction, use of indentation, sequential flow, conditional and iterative
flow ● Conditional statements: if, if-else, if-elif-else, flowcharts, simple programs: e.g.:
absolute value, sort 3 numbers and divisibility of a number.
October ● Iterative Statement: for loop, range(), while loop, flowcharts, break and continue
statements, nested loops, suggested programs: generating pattern, summation of series,
finding the factorial of a positive number, etc. ● Strings: introduction, string operations
(concatenation, repetition, membership and slicing), traversing a string using loops, built-in
functions/methods–len(), capitalize(), title(), lower(), upper(), count(), find(), index(),
endswith(), startswith(), isalnum(), isalpha(), isdigit(), islower(), isupper(), isspace(),lstrip(),
rstrip(), strip(), replace(), join(), partition(), split()
November ● Lists: introduction, indexing, list operations (concatenation, repetition, membership and
slicing), traversing a list using loops, built-in functions/methods–len(), list(), append(),
extend(), insert(), count(), index(), remove(), pop(), reverse(), sort(), sorted(), min(), max(),
sum(); nested lists, suggested programs: finding the maximum, minimum, mean of numeric
values stored in a list; linear search on list of numbers and counting the frequency of
elements in a list. ● Tuples: introduction, indexing, tuple operations (concatenation,
repetition, membership and slicing); built-in functions/methods – len(), tuple(), count(),
index(), sorted(), min(), max(), sum(); tuple assignment, nested tuple; suggested programs:
finding the minimum, maximum, mean of values stored in a tuple; linear search on a tuple
of numbers, counting the frequency of elements in a tuple.
December ● Dictionary: introduction, accessing items in a dictionary using keys, mutability of a
dictionary (adding a new term, modifying an existing item), traversing a dictionary, built-in
functions/methods – len(), dict(), keys(), values(), items(), get(), update(), del, clear(),
fromkeys(), copy(), pop(), popitem(), setdefault(), max(), min(), sorted(); Suggested
programs: count the number of times a character appears in a given string using a
dictionary, create a dictionary with names of employees, their salary and access them. ●
Introduction to Python modules: Importing module using ‘import ’ and using from
statement, importing math module (pi, e, sqrt(), ceil(), floor(), pow(), fabs(), sin(), cos(),
tan()); random module (random(), randint(), randrange()), statistics module (mean(),
median(), mode()).
