COURSE OBJECTIVES :
● To understand the problem-solving approaches.
● To learn the basic programming constructs in Python.
● To practice various computing strategies for Python-based solutions to real world problems.
● To use Python data structures - lists, tuples, dictionaries.
● To do input/output with files in Python.

EXPERIMENTS
1. Identification and solving of simple real life or scientific or technical problems, and developing flow charts for
the same. (Electricity Billing, Retail shop billing, Sin series, weight of a motorbike, Weight of a steel bar, compute
Electrical Current in Three Phase AC Circuit, etc.)
2. Python programming using simple statements and expressions (exchange the values of two variables, circulate
the values of n variables, distance between two points).
3. Scientific problems using Conditionals and Iterative loops. (Number series, Number Patterns, pyramid pattern)
4. Implementing real-time/technical applications using Lists, Tuples. (Items present in a library/Components of a
car/ Materials required for construction of a building –operations of list & tuples)
5. Implementing real-time/technical applications using Sets, Dictionaries. (Language, components of an automobile,
Elements of a civil structure, etc.- operations of Sets & Dictionaries)
6. Implementing programs using Functions. (Factorial, largest number in a list, area of shape)
7. Implementing programs using Strings. (reverse, palindrome, character count, replacing characters)
8. Implementing programs using written modules and Python Standard Libraries (pandas, numpy. Matplotlib, scipy)
9. Implementing real-time/technical applications using File handling. (copy from one file to another, word count,
longest word)
10. Implementing real-time/technical applications using Exception handling. (divide by zero error, voter’s age
validity, student mark range validation)
11. Exploring Pygame tool.
12. Developing a game activity using Pygame like bouncing ball, car race etc.
TOTAL: 60 Periods
CONTENT BEYOND SYLLABI: Data analytics using Python
