SLOW LEARNER SPECIAL NOTES

Problem Solving Using Python (BCE-CSC01)

UNIT 1 – BASICS OF PYTHON

• Computer solves problems step-by-step.

• Algorithm = simple steps to solve a problem.

• Flowchart = picture of steps.

• Python is easy, simple, and beginner-friendly.

• Variable = name to store data.

• Data types: int, float, string.

• Expression = calculation part.

UNIT 2 – CONTROL STATEMENTS

• if = to check a condition.

• if-else = two options.

• elif = many conditions.

• Loop = repeat same work.

• while loop = repeats until condition becomes false.

• for loop = repeats fixed number of times.

UNIT 3 – FUNCTIONS

• Function = block of code to reuse.

• Use ‘def’ to create a function.

• return = gives output from a function.

• Arguments = data you send to function.

• Default argument = value already fixed.

UNIT 4 – OBJECTS & FILES

• Object = real-world item in program.

• Class = model to create objects.


• Module = file that has Python code.

• File handling: open, read, write, close.

• Exception = error at runtime.

UNIT 5 – DICTIONARIES, SETS, OOP, RECURSION

• Dictionary = data in key:value pairs.

• Set = unique items.

• OOP = class + object + inheritance + polymorphism.

• Recursion = function calling itself.
