Basic Python Programming Language S$400 - 15 hours.

Objective:
Python Programming Basic course covers the basic concepts on how to represent and store data using Python data types and variables and use conditionals and loops to control the flow of programs. Participants will be exposed to essential data structures like lists, dictionaries, and tuples to store collections of related data. Our theoretical and extensive hands-on exercises will help the participants to get familiarise with basic programming techniques of Python.
