Python Study Plan -

 

WEEK 1: Python Fundamentals Question Bank

Core Concepts & Practice

1. What is the difference between input() and print()? Write a code that takes your name and prints a greeting.

2. Create a program that converts temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

3. Demonstrate usage of all types of operators: arithmetic, logical, comparison, assignment, bitwise.

4. Write a script that swaps two variables without using a third variable.

5. Use type(), id(), isinstance() on different variables.

6. Show string slicing with negative indices. Reverse a string.

7. Write code to count vowels in a sentence using a loop.

8. Use split(), strip(), lower(), upper(), replace(), find(), startswith(), and endswith() on a sample string.

Built-in Function Practice

• Practice with: len(), max(), min(), sum(), sorted(), reversed(), enumerate(), zip(), chr(), ord(), round()

WEEK 2: Intermediate + OOP Basics Question Bank

Data Structures & File Handling

1. Create a dictionary of students and their marks. Print average marks.

2. Sort a list of tuples based on the second item in each tuple.

3. Write a program to read a CSV file of names and scores and output the top scorer.

4. Handle exceptions for division by zero and invalid inputs.

5. Practice: open(), read(), readlines(), write(), with, close() in file operations.

Functions + OOP Basics

1. Write a function to check if a number is prime.

2. Write a program with a reusable function to find factorial, and use lambda, map(), filter(), reduce() to operate on a list.

3. Build a class Person with name and age attributes. Add a method introduce() that prints a sentence.

4. Use __init__() constructor to initialize a class, demonstrate attribute access and modification.

Built-in Function Practice

• Practice with: any(), all(), abs(), divmod(), pow(), range(), help(), dir()

WEEK 3: OOP Mastery & Real-World Thinking

OOP Deep Concepts

1. Create a base class Animal and derived classes Dog and Cat. Use inheritance.

2. Implement method overriding using the same method name in child class.

3. Demonstrate polymorphism using a function that accepts multiple object types.

4. Create a class Employee that keeps count of all employees created (use class variable).

5. Build a BankAccount class with encapsulation (_balance, getter/setter using @property).

Design Thinking

1. Given a messy class design, refactor it to follow Single Responsibility Principle.

2. Compare and contrast composition vs inheritance with a code example of Library, Book, and Member.

3. Use isinstance() and issubclass() to check OOP hierarchies.

Practice Abstract Classes

• Use ABC module: Create an abstract class Shape with method area() and implement in Circle, Square.

WEEK 4: Projects + Real-World Integration

Advanced Practice

1. Build a mini CLI app: Contact Manager using class & file storage.

2. Write a program to fetch weather info using a public API and parse the JSON data.

3. Create a Todo GUI using tkinter with add, delete, and complete functions.

4. Push a project to GitHub and explain each line in your README.md.

Capstone Challenge Ideas

• Student Report Card System (file + OOP)

• Expense Tracker (CSV + OOP)

• Quiz App (random questions + scoring + file storage)

• News Aggregator (API + classes + data parsing)
