Python for Everything Part 2: Understanding iteration and logical control

Students will learn how datatypes are combined into structures, and how these structures are instances of classes. Students be able to choose the correct data structure to fit a purpose, and then interact with it successfully. Students will understand the logic behind looping, and apply it to data structures. Students will be able to use Python to interact with their host operating system, including reading and writing to disk, interacting with file structures, and interacting with other software.
