Python Basics: Simple Exercises

If you already know the basics of Python but want to practice programming, this course is perfect for you.

What you'll learn

Develop logical thinking by breaking down problems into step-by-step algorithms and implementing them in Python.

Apply conditional logic (if/else) to solve decision-making problems like parity checks, prime/composite identification and membership tests.

Use loops (for and while) to iterate over data for tasks such as summing sequences, generating Fibonacci numbers, computing factorials and traversing matrices.

Manipulate Python collections (lists and strings) for sorting, reversing, finding common prefixes/anagrams, and extracting unique or maximal elements.

Requirements

Basic familiarity with Python syntax (variables, loops, functions).

Python 3 installed and configured on your computer.

Ability to run Python scripts in your IDE or terminal.
