Programming using Python (CSGE101) Generic Elective - (GE)
Credit: 06 MM:100
Course Objective
This course is designed as the first course that introduces computers and programming
to non-Computer Science students. The course focuses on the use of computer and
programming to solve problems of different domains. It also introduces the concept of
objectoriented programming.
Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Describe the components of a computer and notion of an algorithm.
2. Apply suitable programming constructs and built-in data structures to solve a
problem.
3. Develop, document, and debug modular python programs.
4. Use classes and objects in application programs and visualize data.
Detailed Syllabus
Unit 1 : Computer Fundamentals and Problem Solving: Basic Computer Organization:

CPU, memory, I/O Units. Problem solving using computer, notion of an algorithm.
Unit 2: Introduction to Python Programming: Python interpreter/shell, indentation;

identifiers and keywords; literals, numbers, and strings; operators (arithmetic operator,
relational operator,Boolean operator, assignment, operator, ternary operator and bitwise
operator) and expressions
Unit 3:Creating Python Programs: Input and output statements, defining functions,
control statements (conditional statements, loop control statements, break, continue
and pass, exit function.), default arguments, errors and exceptions.
Unit 4:Strings and Lists: String class, built-in functions for string, string traversal, string
operators and operations; Lists creation, traversal, slicing and splitting operations,
passing list to a function
Unit 5:Object Oriented Programming: Introduction to Classes, Objects and Methods,

Standard Libraries, File handling through libraries.
Unit 6: Built-in data structures: Tuples, sets, dictionary, stacks, and queues; searching
and sorting.
List of Practicals:
1. Execution of expressions involving arithmetic, relational, logical, and bitwise
operators in the shell window of Python IDLE.

3. Write a Python program to illustrate the various functions of math module.
4. Write a Python program to produce a table of sins, cosines and tangents. Make a
variable x in range from 0 to 10 in steps of 0.2. For each value of x, print the value of
sin(x), cos(x) and tan(x).
5. Write a program that reads an integer value and prints “leap year” or “not a leap
year”
6. Write a menu driven program to calculate the area of given building. Accept suitable
inputs and use suitable assertions.
7. Write a Python function that takes a number as an input from the user and computes its
factorial.
8. Write a Python function to generate the Fibonacci sequence till a given number “n”.
9. Write a function that takes a number as an input and finds its reverse and computes
the sum of its digits.
10. Write a function that takes two numbers as input parameters and returns their
least common multiple.
11. Write a function that takes a number as an input and determine whether it is prime
or not.
12. Write a function that finds the sum of the
a) first n odd terms
b) first n even terms
c) 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 9, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13.. till n-th term
13. Write a Python function that takes a string as an input from the user and
determines whether it is palindrome or not.
14. Write a function that takes a sentence as input from the user and calculates the
frequency of each letter. Use a variable of dictionary type to maintain the count.
15. Write a Python function that prints a dictionary where the keys are numbers
between 1 and 5 and the values are cubes of the keys.
16. Consider a tuple t1=(1,2,5,7,9,2,4,6,8,10). Write a program to perform following

operations:
a. Print half the values of tuple in one line and the other half in the next line.
b. Print another tuple whose values are even numbers in the given tuple.
c. Concatenate a tuple t2=(11,13,15) witht 1.
d. Return maximum and minimum value from this tuple.
17. Write a function called “check_duplicates” that takes a list and returns true if
there is any element that appears more than once. Also find the frequency of that
element. The original list should not be modified.
18. Write a program to implement a class for finding area and perimeter of a rectangle.
Write constructor, destructor, and functions for calculating area and perimeter.
19. Write a menu driven program to perform the following functions on strings:
a. Find the length of string
b. Return longest of three strings
c. Accept a string and replace every successive character with ‘#’ ExampleFor Given
string ‘Hello World’ returned string is ‘H#l#o W#r#d’.
d. Find number of words in the given string
20. Write a Python program to perform the following using list:

a. Check if all elements in list are numbers or not
b. If it is a numeric list, then count number of odd values in it
c. If list contains all Strings, then display largest String in the list
d. Display list in reverse form
