Syllabus

In this week we will learn the basics of python. We will learn about the 4 different data types, numerical and logic operators, and control flow.

In this week we will learn the basics of lists. This will include learning how to form, manipulate, and use lists in control flow.

This week we will learn about the rest of the iterators: Tuples, Sets, and Dictionaries. We will use all of these iterators, including lists, in control flows such as while loops, if statements, and for loops.

This week we will learn how to manipulate strings with control flows and string operators.

This week we will learn about built in functions in python. We will also make our own functions.

This week we will learn about the main modules and packages in Python.

This week we will learn about sorting and searching algorithms which includes: Bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, merge sort, linear search, exponential search, and hashing.

This week we will learn how to do complexity analysis and its significance. The different kinds of complexity analysis's will include time complexity; space complexity; best, worst, and average cases; and asymptotic analysis. We will learn the notation used in complexity analysis.

We will learn about classes and objects. We will learn about Object oriented programming and why it is useful.

We will continue to learn about object oriented programming by exploring inheritance and polymorphism.

We will end learning about object oriented programming by learning about encapsulation. We will work on an in class project.
