About This League

This league introduces the Python programming language, widely used for web development, data analysis, and automation. It provides a foundational understanding of Python's core concepts, enabling students to write and execute simple programs. The curriculum is structured to build essential programming skills for beginners.

What you will learn

Upon completing this league, you will be able to:

  • Write and execute basic Python programs, handling variables, data types, and operators effectively.
  • Manipulate strings using various methods and slicing techniques, and manage user input and output.
  • Implement conditional logic with if, else, and elif statements, and control program flow with for and while loops.
  • Create and manage data structures like lists and dictionaries, and define reusable functions with arguments and return values.
  • Utilize modules and packages to extend Python's functionality and handle errors gracefully with try-except blocks.

What this league covers

ModuleWhat it covers
Introduction to PythonLearn what Python is, install it, and run your first program using the Python shell and understanding basic syntax.
Variables and Data TypesUnderstand variables, work with integers, floats, strings, and booleans, and perform type conversion and operator usage.
Working with StringsExplore string formatting, various string methods, slicing, concatenation, and understand string immutability.
Basic User Input and OutputLearn to use input and print functions, format output, read user input, convert input types, and build a simple calculator.
Control Flow: If, Else, ElifImplement if, else, and elif statements, nested conditions, and build a number guessing game using truthy and falsey values.
Loops: For and WhileMaster for and while loops, loop control with break and continue, nested loops, and build a multiplication table generator.
Working with ListsCreate, access, modify, and slice lists, understand list comprehensions, nested lists, and essential list methods.
DictionariesCreate, access, and modify dictionaries, iterate through them, and learn dictionary comprehensions.
FunctionsDefine and call functions, understand function arguments, return values, scope, and docstrings.
Modules and PackagesImport and create modules, use packages, explore the standard library, and install packages with Pip.
Exception HandlingUnderstand exceptions, use try-except blocks, handle specific exceptions, the finally block, and raise custom exceptions.

This league prepares you for leagues like Java Programming or TypeScript Programming.

Prerequisites

  • No prior experience needed — this league starts from the beginning.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the fundamental data types in Python including integers, floats, strings, and booleans.
  • Create basic Python programs utilizing variables, assignment operators, and arithmetic operators.
  • Implement conditional statements using 'if', 'elif', and 'else' to control program flow based on logical conditions.
  • Analyze and debug simple Python programs to identify and correct syntax and runtime errors.
  • Utilize Python's built-in functions for input and output to interact with users and display results.
