How Coding Helps Improve Planning and Organisation Skills of Children?

  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020, Computer and Information Systems Managers were the highest-paid coding professionals with a record median salary of $151,150. These Managers are considered veterans, when it comes to the soft skills of planning and organisation. The pandemic is hopefully over and now the kids are back in their classes. Yet, it has been observed around the globe that the long pandemic has devolved the soft skills of these children, especially when it comes to planning and organisation. Their attention span has receded, they show little interest in classroom activities, and most important of all, they are unable to plan out and organise tasks assigned to them in the class. Luckily, here, at Codingzen , we have a one-shot panacea for your adolescents and pre-adolescents. Our programs teach the very-valuable talent of ‘coding’, which top companies in the market are often in the hunt of, irrespective of whether they are in the software development sect

PYTHON AND BASIC PYTHON CONCEPTS

This article will be sharing information about a programming language, Python. This programming language is a high-level, object-oriented language. Read on to learn more about what Python is and the basic concepts related to Python.

PYTHON AND BASIC PYTHON CONCEPTS

WHAT IS PYTHON?

Python was developed by a Dutch Programmer named Guido Van Rossum in 1991. His motive was to create an easy and intuitive language capable of competing with the other complicated alternatives. Since then, Python has left its mark among the other programming languages and is one of the widely used languages. Rossum’s vision was to create a text-based programming language that is useful and easy to learn and implement. In fact, according to Statista, Python is the most used programming language amongst developers from all over the world. (2021)

POPULARITY OF PYTHON

Here are the reasons why Python is popular:

  • Open source: The most important reason for Python to be the most used programming language is that it is open-source. Anyone can contribute to its development, and

programmers can import libraries with ready-made codes to create programs at a faster rate.

  • Easy Syntax: The written syntax of Python is as easy as English and can be understood easily like a spoken language. The Python language is clean and uncluttered, as it does not have as many punctuation marks as the other languages.
  • Functional: Through Python, we can create a wide range of programs, making it a popular choice in this real world. You can use it for different purposes, from building games to web browsers and word processing. Python is the “go-to” programming language for everything.

BASIC CODING CONCEPTS

It is always better to have a basic knowledge of coding concepts before learning Python. So, here are the basic coding concepts related to Python:

  • Variables: Variables can be understood as containers that store values. One can change them throughout the program. We can copy and store the value of one variable to another.
  • Data: In Python, data can be numbers, strings (pieces of text) or Booleans (true or false).
  • Input and Output: Input refers to the data sent to the computer, such as typed text, and output refers to the information produced by a computer and sent to the user.
  • Boolean Operators: ‘And’ is a command through which if both the operands are true ( x and y) then only the answer will be true, and in ‘Or’ if either of the two operands should be true ( x or y).
  • Class: In class, we can define the specific qualities and methods of the objects. Class acts as a template to create objects.
  • Conditionals: Conditionals are codes that will only work in certain situations. They are the decision-makers of the program. The result of a conditional statement is True or False.
  • Loops: Loops are an easier way to repeat a code faster. The “for” loop is a loop used to repeat, iterate over a sequence and the “while” loop is repeated till the condition is met.
  • List: The list keeps the items in order. It is one of the most used data types in Python, which is flexible and can be changed.
  • String: A string is a sequence of characters surrounded by quotations.
  • Function: A function is a piece of code that does a specific task. After the function is executed, the program runs the next inline code.
  • Libraries: In Python, libraries store the codes written in previous programs, and you can use that in your programs for faster work. Python comes with a standard library from which you can import modules and sections of the library to make your program more impactful.
