Week 1: Introduction and Programming Basics

• Introduction to Python and setting up the environment (installing Python, IDE setup).
• Overview of Python syntax and interactive shell.
• Basic data types: integers, floats, strings, and booleans.
• Variables: how to declare and use them.
• Using print() and input() for basic output and input.

Week 2: Control Flow

• Introduction to conditional statements: if, elif, else.
• Comparison operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=.
• Logical operators: and, or, not for combining conditions.
• Example Task: Write a program that checks if a number is even or odd, or a simple age verification app that outputs different messages based on input.

Week 3: Loops

• Introduction to loops: for and while loops.
• Iterating over lists, ranges, and strings using for loops.
• Using while loops for indefinite repetition until a condition is false.

Week 4: Functions

• Defining functions using def.
• Passing parameters to functions and returning values.
• Scope of variables inside and outside functions.Week 5: Lists and Dictionaries
• Adding and accessing data to lists and dictionaries

Week 5: Lists and Dictionaries

• Introduction to lists: creating, accessing, and modifying elements.
• Using lists for storing collections of items.
• Introduction to dictionaries: key-value pairs and how to access, add, and update data.

Week 6: Working with Files

• Introduction to file handling: reading from and writing to files.
• Understanding file modes (r, w, a).
• Reading lines from a file and writing data to a new file.

Week 7: Error Handling and Debugging

• Using try and except blocks to handle exceptions.
• Common errors (IndexError, KeyError, ValueError, etc.) and how to handle them.
• Basic debugging strategies: reading error messages and using print statements to track code flow.

Week 8: Final Project

• Review of key concepts learned throughout the course.
• Guidance on structuring and planning a final project that integrates loops, conditionals, file handling, and functions.
