1 351 CP 15 Python Programming

E1.1.2 Background and Rationale:

The course details in the programming skills using Python Programming. It introduce
various concepts of programming, develop logic for Problem Solving, about the basic
constructs of programming such as data, operations, conditions, loops, functions etc.
read/write to files using python, catch their own errors that happen during execution of
programs and introduction to the concept of pattern matching. This programming
language is versatile, robust and comprehensive programming language. It has true
portability features and can be used across a multitude of platforms.
E1.1.2 Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
 Solve problems requiring the writing of well-documented programs in the Python
language, including use of the logical constructs of that language;
 Demonstrate significant experience with the Python program development
environment Implement user-defined Functions and Modules;
 Implement Exception and File Handling operations;
 Create dynamic applications using Python;
 Implement OOP concepts with Python.
