Don’t let yourself be discouraged by errors, mistakes, and incorrect outcomes.

Course Content

This is an introductory computer science course learning python. In short, it covers variables, operators, errors, conditional statements, loops, number systems, functions, lists, dictionaries, classes, and file handling.
