Learn to design, develop, and execute basic programs in Python.

Zero to Hero in Python for Data Science

This module provides a comprehensive introduction to the tools that help create various programs, such as documents, movies, and games. We'll start with a brief introduction to data science, followed by simple math, real-world problem solving, and precise writing solutions. Next, we'll learn decision-based solutions demonstrated via flowcharts and explained with execution sheets. Finally, we'll learn to translate our solutions into Python programs using variables, conditional statements, loops, strings, lists, and built-in functions. We'll also learn to create our custom functions in Python. After completing this module, we will have acquired the skills to write basic programs in Python.

Understanding Data Science with a focus on Python

## Nested loop
When we use a loop inside another loop, we call them **nested loops**. The first loop is called the **outer loop**, and the second loop is called the **inner loop**. Nested loops can be the same type or different types of loops. Both loops can be `for` loops or `while` loops. The outer loop can be a `for` loop and the inner loop a `while` loop, or vice versa.


Let’s use the Cartesian product of two sets as an illustration of nested loops.



### Cartesian product
The **Cartesian product** of the sets $A = \{a,b,c\}$ and $B = \{1,2,3\}$ is $A \times B = \{(a,1),(a,2),(a,3),(b,1),(b,2),(b,3),(c,1),(c,2),(c,3)\}$. This can be achieved in programming with the help of two nested `for` loops. The outer loop iterates through the elements of the first set, and the inner loop iterates through the elements of the second set against each element of the first set.
