Description

*The author's final score is 93%, without any prior programming experience before enrolling - that's why I understand exactly what confuses beginners the most! Topics include: - operators (arithmetic, relational, logical) - booleans and truth testing - expressions vs. statements - data types (int, float, str, list, tuple, dict) - type casting and input handling - slicing, indexing, and sequence operations - string methods and formatting (f-strings, alignment, precision) - functions, parameters, return values, and default arguments - methods (string/list/dict methods, dir(), help()) - while loops, for loops, range(), loop conversion - dictionaries & sets (keys, values, items, membership, mutation) - unpacking, enumerate(), nested sequences - iteration patterns and common pitfalls This summary covers all core weeks of COMP10001 and is structured for fast revision, with clear examples and explanations throughout.
