Problem Solving: Introduction to algorithms/flowcharts.

Unit 3:

Introduction to Python
Getting Started:

20 Marks (44 Theory + 32 Practical) Periods

Introduction to Python- an interpreted high level language, interactive mode and script mode. Variables, Expressions and Statements: Values, Variables and keywords; Operators and Operands in Python: (Arithmetic, relational and logical operators), operator precedence, Expressions and Statements (Assignment statement); Taking input (using raw_input() and input()) and displaying output (print statement); Putting Comments.

186

Functions: Importing Modules (entire module or selected objects), invoking built in functions, functions from math module (for example, ceil, floor, fabs, exp, log, log10, pow, sqrt, cos, sin, tan, degrees, radians), using random() and randint() functions of random module to generate random numbers, composition. Defining functions, invoking functions, passing parameters (default parameter values, keyword arguments), scope of variables, void functions and functions returning values, flow of execution Conditional constructs and looping: if else statement While, for (range function), break, continue, else, pass

Unit 4:

Programming with Python

20 Marks (50 Theory + 44 Practical) Periods

Strings: Creating, initialising and accessing the elements; string operators: +, *, in, not in, range slice [n:m]; comparing strings using relational operators; String functions and methods: len, capitalize, find, isalnum, isalpha, isdigit, lower, islower, isupper, upper, lstrip, rstrip. Lists: Concept of mutable lists, creating, initializing and accessing the elements, traversing, appending, updating and deleting elements; List operations (joining, list slices); List functions and methods: len, insert, append, extend, sort, remove, reverse, pop.
