WEEK 1 — PYTHON BASICS
DAY 1 — Print, Comments & Math
What is Python?
Python is a programming language — a way to give instructions to a computer.
Think of it like: Computer does not understand English. Python is a translator between you and the computer.
■ Python reads almost like plain English. Most in-demand language in India right now!

Class 1 — print()
print() shows output on screen. It is the first thing every programmer learns!
print("Hello World")
print("My name is Ravi")
print("I am learning Python!")
■■ Always use brackets (). Text must be inside quotes. print is lowercase only — Print() gives error!

Class 2 — Comments
A comment is a line Python ignores. Use # to write a comment.
# This is a comment — Python ignores this
print("Hello") # comment at end of line too
■ Use comments to explain your code. Very useful when you read it later!

Class 3 — Math in Python

Operator Meaning Example Result

+ Addition 5+3 8

- Subtraction 10 - 4 6

* Multiplication 4*3 12

/ Division 10 / 3 3.333

// Floor Division 10 // 3 3

% Remainder 10 % 3 1

** Power 2 ** 3 8

print(10 // 3) # 3 — removes decimal

print(10 % 3) # 1 — remainder only
print(2 ** 3) # 8 — means 2x2x2

Day 1 Exercises
Exercise 1 — What is the output?
print(15 + 6) | print(20 - 8) | print(6 * 7)
print(15 / 2) | print(15 // 2) | print(15 % 2) | print(3 ** 4)
Exercise 2 — Spot the 3 errors:
print(10 + ) # Error 1
print(4 * 3 # Error 2
print("10 + 5") # Is this an error? What is the output?
DAY 2 — Variables & Data Types
Class 1 — Variables
A variable is like a box that stores a value in memory.
name = "Ravi" # box named name, stores Ravi
age = 24 # box named age, stores 24
city = "Guntur" # box named city, stores Guntur
print(name) # Ravi
print(age) # 24
■■ = sign means STORE this value, not equals like in math!

Variable Naming Rules

Rule Example Valid?

Use letters, numbers, underscore my_name, age1 YES

Start with letter or _ name, _score YES

Cannot start with number 1name NO

No spaces allowed my name NO

No special characters my-name NO

Case sensitive — Name and name are different!

name vs Name NOTE

Class 2 — 4 Data Types

Type Meaning Example

int Whole numbers age = 24

float Decimal numbers height = 5.9

str Text (String) name = "Ravi"

bool True or False only is_student = True

print(type(24)) #
print(type("Ravi")) #
print(type(5.9)) #
print(type(True)) #

Class 3 — input() Function

input() takes value FROM the user while the program is running!
name = input("Enter your name: ")
age = int(input("Enter your age: ")) # convert to int
h = float(input("Enter height: ")) # convert to float
print(f"Hello {name}! You are {age} years old.")
■■ input() always gives STRING. Use int() or float() to convert to number!

Day 2 Exercises
Exercise 1 — What data type is each?
x = 100 | y = "Python" | z = 3.14 | a = False | b = "24"
Exercise 2 — Write a program: Ask name and age, print: Hello Ravi! You are 24 years old.
DAY 3 — Strings
Class 1 — String Basics & Operations
name = "Ravi" # double quotes ok
city = 'Guntur' # single quotes ok too
full = "Ravi" + " " + "Kumar" # joining -> Ravi Kumar
print("Ha" * 3) # repeating -> HaHaHa

Class 2 — String Indexing

Every character has a position number (index). Starts from 0!
name = 'Python'
print(name[0]) # P (first)
print(name[-1]) # n (last)
print(name[0:3]) # Pyt (slicing — stops before 3)

Class 3 — String Methods

Method What it does Example Result

.upper() UPPERCASE "ravi".upper() RAVI

.lower() lowercase "RAVI".lower() ravi

.strip() Remove spaces " Ravi ".strip() Ravi

.replace() Replace word "I love Java".replace("Java","Python")

I love Python

.split() Split to list "My name".split() ['My', 'name']

len() Count chars len("Python") 6

Class 4 — f-strings (Most Important!)

f-string lets you put variables directly inside a string!
name = "Ravi"
age = 24
print(f"Hello {name}! You are {age} years old.")
# Output: Hello Ravi! You are 24 years old.

a = 10
b = 20
print(f"Sum of {a} and {b} is {a+b}")
# Output: Sum of 10 and 20 is 30
■ You can do math inside {} in f-strings! Just put f before the quote.

Day 3 Exercises
Exercise 1 — What is the output?
word = "Guntur"
print(word[0]) # ?
print(word[-1]) # ?
print(word[1:4]) # ?
Exercise 2 — Write a program: Ask name, city, marks. Print using f-string with name in UPPERCASE.
DAY 4 — Conditions (if/else)
Class 1 — if/else
In real life: If marks > 35 then Pass else Fail. Python does same!
age = 18
if age >= 18:
print("You can vote!") # indented with Tab
else:
print("You cannot vote yet!")
■■ Always put : after condition. Code inside MUST be indented (press Tab)!

Comparison Operators
Operator Meaning Example Result

== Equal to 5 == 5 True

!= Not equal 5 != 3 True

> Greater than 10 > 5 True

< Less than 3<8 True

>= Greater or equal 5 >= 5 True

<= Less or equal 4 <= 6 True

Class 2 — if/elif/else (Multiple Choices)

marks = 85
if marks >= 90:
print("Grade A")
elif marks >= 80:
print("Grade B")
elif marks >= 35:
print("Pass")
else:
print("Fail")
# Output: Grade B
■ Python checks TOP to BOTTOM and stops at first True condition!

Class 3 — Logical Operators

Operator Meaning Example

and Both must be True age > 18 and has_id == True

or At least one True day == "Sat" or day == "Sun"

not Reverses True/False not is_raining

if age >= 18 and has_id == True:

print("Entry allowed")

Day 4 Exercise — Grade Calculator

Write a program that asks marks and prints:
90+ = Grade A Excellent + 'You are a topper!'
80-89 = Grade B Good | 70-79 = Grade C Average
35-69 = Grade D Pass | below 35 = Fail Work harder!
DAY 5 — Loops
Class 1 — for Loop
for loop repeats code a FIXED number of times!
for i in range(5):
print(i)
# Output: 0 1 2 3 4

for i in range(1, 6):

print(i)
# Output: 1 2 3 4 5

for i in range(0, 11, 2):

print(i)
# Output: 0 2 4 6 8 10 (jumps by 2)
■ range(start, stop, step) — step means jump by that number!

Class 2 — while Loop

while loop runs AS LONG AS condition is True!
i = 1
while i <= 5:
print(i)
i += 1 # i = i + 1 — MUST update or infinite loop!
■■ ALWAYS update variable inside while loop! Without i += 1, loop runs FOREVER and crashes!

Class 3 — break & continue

Keyword Meaning What happens

break Stop loop completely Loop ends immediately

continue Skip current round Goes to next round

# break — stops at 5
for i in range(1, 10):
if i == 5:
break
print(i)
# Output: 1 2 3 4

# continue — skips 4
for i in range(1, 8):
if i == 4:
continue
print(i)
# Output: 1 2 3 5 6 7

Day 5 Exercise — Multiplication Table

Ask user for a number. Print its table from 1 to 10.
# Expected output if user enters 5:
# 5 x 1 = 5
# 5 x 2 = 10 ... 5 x 10 = 50
DAY 6 — Lists & Dictionaries
Class 1 — Lists
A list stores MULTIPLE values in one variable!
marks = [85, 92, 78, 65, 90]
names = ["Ravi", "Priya", "Kiran"]

fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Mango", "Orange"]

print(fruits[0]) # Apple (index 0 = first)
print(fruits[-1]) # Orange (index -1 = last)
print(fruits[1:3]) # ["Banana", "Mango"]

List Methods
Method What it does Example

.append() Add item at end [Link]("Grapes")

.remove() Remove specific item [Link]("Banana")

.sort() Sort the list [Link]()

len() Count items len(fruits)

.pop() Remove last item [Link]()

in Check if item exists "Mango" in fruits # True

Class 2 — Dictionaries
Dictionary stores data in KEY:VALUE pairs — like a real dictionary!
student = {"name": "Ravi", "age": 24, "city": "Guntur"}

print(student["name"]) # Ravi
print(student["age"]) # 24

student["marks"] = 85 # Add new key

student["age"] = 25 # Update existing key
del student["city"] # Delete a key

# Loop through dictionary

for key, value in [Link]():
print(f"{key} -> {value}")

Day 6 Exercise — Student Marks System

Create this dictionary and print Pass/Fail for each student:
students = {"Ravi":85, "Priya":42, "Kiran":91, "Arjun":30, "Sneha":78}
Pass mark = 35. Expected output: Ravi -> 85 -> Pass, Arjun -> 30 -> Fail
DAY 7 — Functions
What is a Function?
A function is a REUSABLE block of code with a name. Write once — use anywhere!
Real life: ATM machine = function. You press withdraw, it does all the work, gives you money. You don't care
what happens inside!

Class 1 — Define and Call

def greet(): # BUILD the machine
print("Hello!")
print("Welcome!")

greet() # USE the machine — call 1

greet() # USE the machine — call 2
# Prints Hello! Welcome! TWICE

Class 2 — Parameters (Input to Function)

def greet(name): # name = input slot
print(f"Hello {name}!")

greet("Ravi") # Hello Ravi!

greet("Priya") # Hello Priya!

Class 3 — return (Output from Function)

return sends result BACK OUT of the function so you can USE it later!
def add(a, b):
return a + b # sends result OUT

result = add(5, 3) # catches 8

print(result) # 8
print(result + 10) # 18 — can reuse!
print(result * 2) # 16 — can reuse!
■■ print() inside function ONLY SHOWS result. return SENDS result out so you can USE it!

Class 4 — Default Parameters

def greet(name, msg="Good Morning"):
print(f"{msg} {name}!")

greet("Ravi") # Good Morning Ravi!

greet("Priya", "Good Night") # Good Night Priya!

Day 7 Final Exercise — BMI Calculator

Write a BMI Calculator function:
# Formula: bmi = weight / (height * height)
# Below 18.5 -> Underweight
# 18.5 to 25 -> Normal weight
# 25 to 30 -> Overweight
# Above 30 -> Obese

result = bmi_calculator(70, 1.75)

print(f"BMI: {round(result, 2)}")
WEEK 2 — NUMPY & PANDAS
■ Use Google Colab for all of Week 2! NumPy and Pandas are already installed.

DAY 1 — NumPy Basics

What is NumPy?
NumPy = Numerical Python. Superpower tool for math on a group of numbers!

Without NumPy With NumPy

Need a loop to add 10 to every number marks + 10 — one line!

Slow for large data Very fast

Complex code Simple code

import numpy as np # Always write this first!

■ import = bring this tool. as np = short name so we type np instead of numpy.

Create Array
marks = [Link]([85, 90, 78, 92, 88])
print(marks)
# [85 90 78 92 88] <- no commas in output!

Math on Entire Array at Once!

marks = [Link]([85, 90, 78, 92, 88])
print(marks + 5) # [90 95 83 97 93]
print(marks * 2) # [170 180 156 184 176]
print(marks - 10) # [75 80 68 82 78]
■ Real use: Teacher gives 5 bonus marks to all students — just write marks + 5!

Useful Functions
print([Link](marks)) # 433 — total
print([Link](marks)) # 86.6 — average
print([Link](marks)) # 92 — highest
print([Link](marks)) # 78 — lowest
print([Link](marks)) # [78 85 88 90 92]
print([Link](marks)) # 88.0 — middle value

Filtering — Magic Feature!

marks = [Link]([85, 42, 91, 33, 78])
print(marks[marks >= 35]) # [85 42 91 78] <- passing
print(marks[marks < 35]) # [33] <- failing
■ Read marks[marks >= 35] as: From marks, give me only those >= 35. No loop needed!

2D Arrays — Like Excel Table

students = [Link]([
[85, 90, 78], # Student 1
[92, 88, 95], # Student 2
[70, 65, 80] # Student 3
])
print(students[0]) # [85 90 78] — first row
print(students[1][2]) # 95 — row2, col3
print([Link](students[0])) # average of student 1
DAY 2 — NumPy Advanced
arange() — Create Number Sequences
a = [Link](5) # [0 1 2 3 4]
a = [Link](1, 6) # [1 2 3 4 5]
a = [Link](0, 11, 2) # [0 2 4 6 8 10] (step 2)

zeros() and ones()

[Link](5) # [0. 0. 0. 0. 0.]
[Link](5) # [1. 1. 1. 1. 1.]
[Link]((3, 4)) # 3 rows, 4 columns of zeros

shape, ndim, size

Property Meaning Example

shape Rows and columns? (2,3) = 2 rows 3 cols

ndim 1D line or 2D table? 1 or 2

size Total number count? 2x3 = 6

a = [Link]([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])
print([Link]) # (3, 3)
print([Link]) # 2
print([Link]) # 9

reshape()
Change shape without changing data! Total items must match.
a = [Link](1, 7) # [1 2 3 4 5 6] — 6 items
b = [Link](2, 3)
# [[1 2 3]
# [4 5 6]]
■■ Total must match! 6 items -> reshape(2,3)=6 OK. reshape(4,2)=8 ERROR!

Day 2 Final Exercise

Given this array:
marks = [Link]([72, 85, 91, 45, 63, 88, 55, 79, 93, 67])
Find: Total, Average, Highest, Lowest, Median, Marks above 70, Marks below 60, How many passed (>=35)?
DAY 3 — Pandas Basics
What is Pandas?
Pandas = Excel inside Python! Work with tables of data easily.

Excel Pandas

Spreadsheet with rows & columns DataFrame with rows & columns

Click to filter One line of code to filter

Limited to small data Works with millions of rows

import pandas as pd # Always write this first!

Series — One Column of Data

marks = [Link]([85, 90, 78, 92, 88])
print(marks)
# 0 85
# 1 90 ...

DataFrame — Full Table

data = {
"name": ["Ravi", "Priya", "Kiran", "Arjun"],
"age": [24, 22, 25, 23],
"marks": [85, 92, 78, 65]
}
df = [Link](data)
print(df)
# name age marks
# 0 Ravi 24 85
# 1 Priya 22 92 ...

Basic Operations
[Link]() # First 5 rows
[Link]() # Last 5 rows
[Link] # (rows, columns)
[Link] # Column names
[Link]() # Data types
[Link]() # Statistics summary

Selecting Data
df["name"] # One column
df[["name", "marks"]] # Multiple columns
df[df["marks"] >= 80] # Rows where marks >= 80
DAY 4 — Pandas Advanced
Reading CSV Files
df = pd.read_csv("[Link]")
print([Link]())
■ CSV = Comma Separated Values. Most real data files are CSV format!

Handling Missing Data

[Link]().sum() # Count missing per column
[Link](0, inplace=True) # Fill missing with 0
df["marks"].fillna(df["marks"].mean()) # Fill with average
[Link](inplace=True) # Drop rows with missing

Adding New Columns

df["result"] = df["marks"].apply(lambda x: "Pass" if x >= 35 else "Fail")

groupby — Like Pivot Table in Excel!

[Link]("city")["marks"].mean() # Average marks by city
[Link]("gender")["marks"].mean() # Average marks by gender

Sorting
df.sort_values("marks", ascending=False) # Highest to lowest
df.sort_values("marks", ascending=True) # Lowest to highest

Full Data Cleaning Steps

Step What to do Pandas Code

1 Load data pd.read_csv("[Link]")

2 Check shape [Link]

3 Check missing [Link]().sum()

4 Fill/drop missing [Link]() or [Link]()

5 Remove duplicates df.drop_duplicates()

6 Filter data df[df["col"] > value]

DAY 5 & 6 — Matplotlib (Charts)
What is Matplotlib?
Matplotlib creates charts from your data — like Excel charts but with code!
import [Link] as plt

Line Chart
months = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
sales = [150, 200, 180, 250, 220, 300]
[Link](months, sales)
[Link]("Monthly Sales")
[Link]("Month")
[Link]("Sales")
