Course Outcomes:

COs At the end of the course, the student will have the ability to:
Apply core concepts of Python programming, including conditional statements, loops,
CO1
and operators, to develop basic programs efficiently.
Implement and manipulate Python data structures such as lists, dictionaries, tuples, and
CO2
sets to solve computational problems effectively.
Design Python programs using functions, modules, and file handling techniques to
CO3
process and manage data efficiently.
Analyze data using Python libraries like NumPy and Pandas, and visualize relationships
CO4
between attributes through data plotting and manipulation.

Sample Experiments:
1. Write a program to sort words in a file and put them in another file. The output file
should have only lower-case words, so any upper-case words from source must be
lowered.
2. Python program to print each line of a file in reverse order.
3. Python program to compute the number of characters, words and lines in a file.
4. Write a program to create, display, append, insert and reverse the order of the items in
the array.
5. Write a program to add, transpose and multiply two matrices.
6. Write a Python program to create a class that represents a shape. Include methods to
calculate its area and perimeter. Implement subclasses for different shapes like circle,
triangle, and square.

UNIT-V: (9 Hours)
Introduction to Data Science: Functional Programming, JSON and XML in Python, NumPy
with Python, Pandas.
Sample Experiments:
1. Python program to check whether a JSON string contains complex object or not.
2. Python Program to demonstrate NumPy arrays creation using array () function.
