Computational Thinking used, Concepts of logical Thinking and
Algorithms, Flow charts, Objectives of Problem Solving, Defining a
1 problem, devising solutions. 6
Conceptual introduction: topics in computer science, algorithms;
modern computer systems: hardware architecture, data representation
in computers, software and operating system

Basics of Python:
Python Interface, when to use Python, comments, literal constants,
numbers, variable, identifier naming, data types, strings, basic I/O
2 statements, logical and physical line, indentation, operators and 10
expressions, tuples, dictionary, lists: indexing, slicing, basic methods,
control flow: conditionals and iterators

Functions and Modules:

Function parameters, local statement, global statement, default

4 attributes: class variables and instance variables, defining, adding and 6
removing attributes, explicit constructor invocation, class methods:
defining and using, the self-parameter meaning and usage, inheritance
and overriding, finding class/object components, single inheritance vs.
multiple inheritance
