Estimated duration: 36 hours (8 modules × ≈ 4.5 h) over 10–12 weeks

What you will learn

• Install Python, run code in the interactive shell and as a script, and read an error message to find the faulty line
• Use numbers, strings and booleans, variables and type conversion to compute and display results
• Write programs that choose between paths with if/elif/else and boolean logic
• Repeat work with while and for loops and apply the counter, accumulator and search patterns
• Store and process data with lists, tuples, sets and dictionaries, including slicing and simple comprehensions
• Decompose a problem into functions with parameters and return values, and explain variable scope
• Read and write text files safely and handle runtime errors with try/except
• Organise a small program into modules, use the standard library, and test it with assert
