Final Remarks

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the “Getting Started with Python” module.

Summary

In this module, we learned how to write simple programs without prior programming knowledge. We started with a brief introduction to data science, followed by getting hands-on experience writing basic programs (simple math, real-world problem solving, and writing solutions). Next, we covered decision-based solutions demonstrated via flowcharts and explained with execution sheets. We also covered the core programming components in Python and learned to translate our solutions into Python programs using variables, conditional statements, loops, strings, lists, and functions. Ultimately, we have the skills to design and execute our customized functions in Python.

What’s next?

Now that we have started to write programs and solve real-world problems in Python, we will cover Python essentials for data science in greater detail in the next module, “ Python Fundamentals.”
