Overview

Class Central Tips
Code and run your first python program in minutes without installing anything! This course is designed for learners with limited coding experience, providing a solid foundation of not just python, but core Computer Science topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover functions, recursion, objects, and mutability. Completion of the prior 2 courses in this specialization are recommended. To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.

Syllabus

  • User-Defined Functions
    • Welcome to Week 1 of the Python Object Basics: Functions, Recursion, and Objects course. These assignments cover re-using pieces of code by wrapping them in functions. You can create functions that take in and/or return data. The module ends with a lab and graded coding exercises.
  • Recursion
    • Welcome to Week 2 of the Python Object Basics: Functions, Recursion, and Objects course. These assignments cover creating recursive functions and identifying when recursion can be used instead of traditional iteration. The module ends with a lab and graded coding exercises.
  • Introduction to Objects
    • Welcome to Week 3 of the Python Object Basics: Functions, Recursion, and Objects course. These assignments cover creating user-defined classes and how to instantiate an object based on these classes. The module ends with a lab and graded coding exercises.
  • Mutability
    • Welcome to Week 4 of the Python Object Basics: Functions, Recursion, and Objects course. These assignments cover changing attributes associated with an object through methods. The module ends with a lab and graded coding exercises.
