CourseOutcome(CourseSkillSet)
Attheendofthecoursethestudentwillbeableto:
1. Demonstrate proficiency in handling loops and creation of functions.
2. Identify the methods to create and manipulate lists, tuples and dictionaries.
3. Develop programs for string processing and file organization
4. Interpret the concepts of Object-Oriented Programming as used in Python.
AssessmentDetails(bothCIEandSEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50). The minimum
passing mark for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 marks out of 50). A student shall be deemed to
have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student
secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of
40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester
End Examination) taken together.
ContinuousInternalEvaluation(CIE):
CIE for the practical component of the IC
 On completion of every experiment/program in the laboratory, the students shall be evaluated and
marks shall be awarded on the same day. The 15 marks are for conducting the experiment and
preparation of the laboratory record, the other 05 marks shall be for the test conducted at the end of
the semester.
 The CIE marks awarded in the case of the Practical component shall be based on the continuous
evaluation of the laboratory report. Each experiment report can be evaluated for 10 marks. Marks
of all experiments’ write-ups are added and scaled down to 15 marks.
 The laboratory test (duration 03 hours) at the end of the 15th week of the semester /after
completion of all the experiments (whichever is early) shall be conducted for 50 marks and scaled
down to 05 marks.
Scaled-down marks of write-up evaluations and tests added will be CIE marks for the laboratory
component of IC/IPCC for 20 marks.
The minimum marks to be secured in CIE to appear for SEE shall be 12 (40% of maximum marks) in the
theory component and 08 (40% of maximum marks) in the practical component. The laboratory component
of the IC/IPCC shall be for CIE only. However, in SEE, the questions from the laboratory component shall
be included. The maximum of 05 questions is to be set from the practical component of IC/IPCC, the total
marks of all questions should not be more than 25 marks.
The theory component of the IC shall be for both CIE and SEE

INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON PROGRAMMING (BPLCK205B) 2022-23
What is Python?
Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in
1991.
It is used for:
 Web development (server-side)
 Software development
 Mathematics
 System scripting
Why Python?
 Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
 Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
 Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other
programming languages.
 Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is
written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
 Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way or a functional way.
Steps to run in different platforms
Run the interactive shell by launching IDLE, which is installed with Python
 On Windows, open the Start menu, select All Programs ▸ Python 3.3, and then select IDLE (Python
GUI).
 On OS X, select Applications ▸ MacPython 3.3 ▸ IDLE.
 On Ubuntu, open a new Terminal window and enter idle3.
