Curriculum

Chapter 01: Python Fundamentals

This chapter lays the groundwork for your Python journey by introducing fundamental concepts like variables, data types, and operators. It starts with an introduction and then dives into setting up the Python environment and writing your first 'Hello World' program. You’ll also cover input/output functions and essential Python concepts. A crucial section compares variable declaration and initialization in Python with those in C/C++, providing a clear transition from your previous experience.

Chapter 02: Control Structures

Master control structures in Python—essential for program flow. You'll learn about decision-making using conditional statements ('if', 'else', 'elif'), and iterative processes using 'for' and 'while' loops. The chapter includes a comparison with C/C++ loops to reinforce your understanding. Multiple exercises with solutions solidify your knowledge and build practical skills.

Chapter 03: Functions

This chapter delves into the world of Python functions. Learn about function definitions, return statements, 'pass' keywords, argument passing techniques, and default parameters. We'll also explore the difference between functions in Python and C/C++, including keyword arguments and required parameters. The chapter features several exercises with solutions to ensure your practical mastery of functions.

Chapter 04: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

Building upon your existing C/C++ OOP knowledge, this chapter explores Python's OOP paradigm. You will learn about classes and objects, data members, the 'self' keyword, constructors, destructors, inheritance, the 'super' keyword, polymorphism, and access specifiers. This is a comprehensive guide to Python's OOP features.

Chapter 05: Modules and Libraries

This chapter introduces the crucial concept of modules and libraries in Python. You'll understand why they are used, explore common standard libraries, create custom modules, and learn how to manage and use external libraries effectively. Best practices for utilizing external libraries are also discussed.

Chapter 06: File Handling and Exception Management

Master essential skills for handling files in Python. This chapter covers opening, reading, writing, appending, and closing files, as well as working with different file modes. It also introduces exception handling techniques to create robust and error-resistant programs.

Chapter 07: Data Analysis with Pandas and NumPy

This introductory chapter provides an overview of data analysis using two powerful Python libraries: Pandas and NumPy. You'll gain a foundation in using these tools for data manipulation and analysis.
