Python Data Structures

This course will introduce the core data structures of the Python programming language. We will move past the basics of procedural programming and explore how we can use the Python built-in data structures such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples to perform increasingly complex data analysis. This course will cover Chapters 6-10 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. This course covers Python 3.

• Explain the principles of data structures & how they are used

• Create programs that are able to read and write data from files

• Store data as key/value pairs using Python dictionaries

• Accomplish multi-step tasks like sorting or looping using tuples

Reviews

I love the way Dr. Chuck interacts with the students even though its an online class. Nor do I know him personally neither does he know me. But he makes this class interesting. Hats off to Dr. Chuck!

I feel incredible that I knew almost nothing about programming just a month ago. Now I have done two of the courses of the specialization and I can actually understand other basic codes. Great course!

i am using chrome on mac book air 2 and python 3.6

I really liked the course. I just wish it was more practice heavy and the lectures were broken up more and there were quizzes during the lectures to keep you engaged more and make it more interactive.
