Python Programming
Mock Exam
Course Introduction
Python Programming is an introductory course designed to equip students with the fundamental concepts and practical skills of programming using the Python language. The course covers core topics such as variables, data types, control structures, functions, modules, and file operations, along with essential programming constructs like loops and conditionals. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving, algorithm development, and writing clean, efficient code. Students will also be introduced to foundational libraries and tools for data handling and visualization, preparing them for more advanced studies in computer science, data analysis, or software development. By the end of the course, learners will be able to design, implement, and debug Python programs for a variety of applications.
