1. Wrap-up
Congratulations, you've completed the course! Let's take a quick look back at everything you've learned.
2. Sequence data types
In chapter one, we learned about the fundamental sequence types in Python. We learned to use list methods to add, find and remove items. Then we learned to use list comprehensions to perform operations on each item. For tuples, we learned how to unpack them and to be careful not to make new ones accidentally. We also learned about formatting strings, combining strings, and searching for string fragments in a string.
3. Dictionaries
Chapter two was focused entirely on dictionaries. We learned how to safely add, find, and remove items in a dictionary. Then, we covered how to use unpacking with the dot-items method to work with individual key and value pairs. Finally, we wrapped up the chapter covering how to handle nested data in dictionaries.
4. Numeric and logical types
Chapter three took us through numeric data types, booleans, and sets. We learned when to use integers, floats, and Decimals, along with some Python division guidelines. Next, we learned that booleans are about more than just True and False and explored what values can be Truthy and Falsey and how to use that with Python operators. Finally, we learned how to quickly find differences between two sets, overlapping data between two sets, and removing duplicates within a set.
5. Complex data types
In the fourth chapter, we explored complex datatypes like Counters, defaultdicts, and namedtuples that can help handle particular situations or represent complex data.
6. Complex data types
We also learned about dataclasses and how we can use them to model complex datatypes.
7. Congratulations!
Again congratulations on completing the course. I hope you continue your data science education, and hopefully I'll see you again in a later class.
