231CS211 - PROBLEM SOLVING & PYTHON PROGRAMMING

SYLLABUS
UNIT I COMPUTATIONAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING 9
Fundamentals of Computing – Identification of Computational Problems -
Algorithms, building blocks of algorithms (statements, state, control flow,
functions), notation (pseudo code, flow chart, programming language), algorithmic
problem solving, simple strategies for developing algorithms (iteration, recursion).
Illustrative problems: find minimum in a list, insert a card in a list of sorted cards,
guess an integer number in a range, Towers of Hanoi.
UNIT II DATATYPES, EXPRESSIONS, STATEMENTS 9
Python interpreter and interactive mode, debugging; values and types: int, float,
boolean, string, and list; variables, expressions, statements, tuple assignment,
precedence of operators, comments; Illustrative programs: exchange the values of
two variables, circulate the values of n variables, distance between two points.
python reserved words, understanding error messages.
UNIT III CONTROL FLOW, FUNCTIONS, STRINGS 9
Conditionals: Boolean values and operators, conditional (if), alternative (if-
else),chained conditional (if- elif-else);Iteration: state, while, for, break, continue,
pass; Fruitful functions: return values, parameters, local and global scope, function
composition, recursion, lambda function; Strings: string slices, immutability, string
functions and methods, string module; Lists as arrays. Illustrative programs: square
root, gcd, exponentiation, sum an array of numbers, linear search, binary search.
UNIT IV LISTS, TUPLES, DICTIONARIES 9
Lists: list operations, list slices, list methods, list loop, mutability, aliasing, cloning
lists, list parameters; Tuples: tuple assignment, tuple as return value; Sets
,Dictionaries: operations and methods; advanced list processing - list
comprehension; Illustrative programs: simple sorting, histogram, Students marks
statement, Retail bill preparation.
UNIT V FILES, MODULES, PACKAGES 9
Files and exceptions: text files, reading and writing files, format operator;
command line arguments, errors and exceptions, handling exceptions, modules,
packages; Illustrative programs: word count, copy file, Voter’s age validation,
Marks range validation (0-100).
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
