Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT)
Unit II: Computational Thinking and Programming – 1

● Introduction to problem solving: Steps for problem solving (analysing the problem,
developing an algorithm, coding, testing and debugging). representation of algorithms
using flow chart and pseudo code, decomposition
● Familiarization with the basics of Python programming: Introduction to Python, features of
Python, executing a simple "hello world" program, execution modes: interactive mode
and script mode, Python character set, Python tokens (keyword, identifier, literal,
operator, punctuator), variables, concept of l-value and r-value, use of comments
● Knowledge of data types: number (integer, floating point, complex), boolean, sequence
(string, list, tuple), none, mapping (dictionary), mutable and immutable data types
● Operators: arithmetic operators, relational operators, logical operators, assignment
operator, augmented assignment operators, identity operators (is, is not), membership
operators (in, not in)
● Expressions, statement, type conversion & input/output: precedence of operators,
expression, evaluation of expression, python statement, type conversion (explicit &
implicit conversion), accepting data as input from the console and displaying output
● Errors: syntax errors, logical errors, runtime errors
● Flow of control: introduction, use of indentation, sequential flow, conditional and iterative
flow control
● Conditional statements: if, if-else, if-elif-else, flowcharts, simple programs: e.g.: absolute
value, sort 3 numbers and divisibility of a number
● Iterative statements: for loop, range function, while loop, flowcharts, break and continue
statements, nested loops, suggested programs: generating pattern, summation of series,
finding the factorial of a positive number etc
● Strings: introduction, indexing, string operations (concatenation, repetition, membership
& slicing), traversing a string using loops, built-in functions: len(), capitalize(), title(),
lower(), upper(), count(), find(), index(), endswith(), startswith(), isalnum(), isalpha(),
isdigit(), islower(), isupper(), isspace(), lstrip(), rstrip(), strip(), replace(), join(), partition(),
split()
● Lists: introduction, indexing, list operations (concatenation, repetition, membership &
slicing), traversing a list using loops, built-in functions: len(), list(), append(), extend(),
insert(), count(), index(), remove(), pop(), reverse(), sort(), sorted(), min(), max(), sum();
nested lists, suggested programs: finding the maximum, minimum, mean of numeric
values stored in a list; linear search on list of numbers and counting the frequency of
elements in a list
● Tuples: introduction, indexing, tuple operations (concatenation, repetition, membership &
slicing), built-in functions: len(), tuple(), count(), index(), sorted(), min(), max(), sum();
tuple assignment, nested tuple, suggested programs: finding the minimum, maximum,
mean of values stored in a tuple; linear search on a tuple of numbers, counting the
frequency of elements in a tuple
● Dictionary: introduction, accessing items in a dictionary using keys, mutability of dictionary
(adding a new item, modifying an existing item), traversing a dictionary, built-in functions:
len(), dict(), keys(), values(), items(), get(), update(), del(), clear(), fromkeys(), copy(),
pop(), popitem(), setdefault(), max(), min(), count(), sorted(), copy(); suggested programs
: count the number of times a character appears in a given string using a dictionary,
create a dictionary with names of employees, their salary and access them
● Sorting techniques: Bubble and Insertion sort
● Introduction to Python modules: Importing module using 'import <module>' and using
from statement, Importing math module (pi, e, sqrt, ceil, floor, pow, fabs, sin, cos, tan);
random module (random, randint, randrange), statistics module (mean, median,mode)
Unit III: Society, Law and Ethics
● Digital Footprints
● Digital society and Netizen: net etiquettes, communication etiquettes, social media
etiquettes
● Data protection: Intellectual Property Right (copyright, patent, trademark), violation of IPR
(plagiarism, copyright infringement, trademark infringement), open source softwares and
licensing (Creative Commons, GPL and Apache)
● Cyber-crime: definition, hacking, eavesdropping, phishing and fraud emails, ransomware,
preventing cyber crime
● Cyber safety: safely browsing the web, identity protection, confidentiality, cyber trolls and
bullying.
● Safely accessing web sites: malware, viruses, trojans, adware
● E-waste management: proper disposal of used electronic gadgets
● Indian Information Technology Act (IT Act)
● Technology & Society: Gender and disability issues while teaching and using computers
