Summary

Intermediate Python tutorial covering nested conditionals, loops, functions, recursion, built-in data structures (List, Tuple, Set, Dictionary), modularization, file I/O, exception handling, and object-oriented programming.

Learning outcome

Students can formulate and implement solutions to real-life engineering problems using advanced Python — applying OOP principles (class, object, methods, inheritance, polymorphism), built-in data structures, recursion, exception handling, and file I/O to build comprehensive, well-structured programs.
