Session Overview: Basic Coding

In this session

In this session, you will first revise the basics of conditional statements, looping syntax and operators in Python. This session focuses on building a strong sense of logic and the importance of making a flow diagram or writing pseudocode before solving any problem. You will also see how to break down an intimidating problem and approach it with sound logic.

We will do this by:

• First, breaking down a few famous industry application problems and demonstrate how that can be done using simple concepts that you have learned in the previous module - Introduction to Python.
• Next, we will take up a few problems starting from an easy one and slowly increasing the difficulty. It is recommended you solve all of them and also try them on your own employing different approaches than the ones that are illustrated.
  We will consider the following problems in this session:
  • Swapping
  • Even or Odd
  • Alarm Clock
  • Factorial
  • Reverse The Digits
  • How Many Chocolates
  • Print the Pattern
