Python Data Representations

This course will continue the introduction to Python programming that started with Python Programming Essentials. We'll learn about different data representations, including strings, lists, and tuples, that form the core of all Python programs. We will also teach you how to access files, which will allow you to store and retrieve data within your programs. These concepts and skills will help you to manipulate data and write more complex Python programs. By the end of the course, you will be able to write Python programs that can manipulate data stored in files. This will extend your Python programming expertise, enabling you to write a wide range of scripts using Python This course uses Python 3. While most Python programs continue to use Python 2, Python 3 is the future of the Python programming language. This course introduces basic desktop Python development environments, allowing you to run Python programs directly on your computer. This choice enables a smooth transition from online development environments.

• Strings
• This module will teach you about Python's string data type and its capabilities. Strings are used to represent text within programs.
• Basics of Lists
• This module will teach you the basics of Python's list data type. Lists are used to hold a sequence of data within programs.
• List Manipulation
• This module will dive further into the use of lists. You will learn how about mutating the contents of a list and the implications of doing so.
• File Access
• This module will teach you how to access files in Python.
