2. Python Basics

• Syntax and Semantics: Understanding indentation, comments, and basic syntax rules.
• Data Types and Variables: Integers, floats, strings, and boolean values.
• Operators: Arithmetic, comparison, logical, and assignment operators.

3. Control Flow

• Conditional Statements: if, elif, and else.
• Loops: for and while loops, loop control statements (break, continue).
• List Comprehensions: Efficient looping and list generation.

4. Functions and Modules

• Defining Functions: Function syntax, parameters, and return values.
• Built-in Functions: Commonly used built-in functions and their applications.
• Modules and Packages: Importing and using modules, creating your own modules.

5. Data Structures

• Lists: Operations, methods, and slicing.
• Tuples: Immutability and use cases.
• Dictionaries: Key-value pairs, methods, and dictionary comprehension.
• Sets: Unique elements, set operations.

6. File Handling

• Reading Files: Opening, reading, and closing files.

• Raising Exceptions: Custom exceptions and error handling best practices.

8. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Classes and Objects: Defining classes, creating objects.
• Inheritance: Basic inheritance concepts and usage.
• Polymorphism and Encapsulation: Method overriding, private attributes.

9. Libraries and Frameworks

• Standard Library Overview: Commonly used libraries (math, datetime, etc.).
• NumPy: Arrays and mathematical functions.
• Pandas: Data manipulation and analysis.
• Matplotlib/Seaborn: Data visualization.

10. Advanced Topics (Optional)
