Start your Python journey with this course, where you’ll gain a solid foundation in this powerful language. Learn how to work with variables and data types to store and process information, master operations to perform calculations and make comparisons, and unlock the power of strings for text manipulation. Through hands-on case studies, like creating a checkout system, splitting tips, and calculating compound interest, you’ll apply your skills to solve real-life problems. This beginner-friendly course is perfect for anyone looking to build practical coding skills and confidence in Python.
-
This course focuses on mastering Python’s control flow mechanisms, including branching, looping, and functions. It covers essential concepts such as making decisions with if, if-else, and if-elif-else structures (branching), automating repetitive tasks using while and for loops (looping), and introduces functions as a higher-level form of flow control. Advanced topics like nested, hierarchical, and recursive functions are also explored, providing learners with tools to write organized, reusable, and efficient code.
