Basics of Python

1. Data Types and Operations: Strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries.

2. Control Structures: If-elif-else, for and while loops, list comprehensions.

3. Functions: Defining, arguments, lambda functions, scope.

4. Exception Handling: Try, except, finally.

5. Practise Basic FAQ Questions:

1. How to merge two dictionaries?

2. How to sort a list of dictionaries by a specific key?

3. How to find the second largest number in a list?

4. How to find the intersection of two lists?

5. How to reverse a string in Python?

6. How to slice a string in Python?

7. How to find the largest/smallest number in a list?

8. How to remove duplicates from a list?

9. How to count the occurrences of each element in a list?

10. How to check if a string is a palindrome?

Pandas

1. Data Structures: Series and DataFrame.

2. Data Manipulation: Creating, selecting, filtering, and modifying DataFrames.

3. Data Aggregation: Grouping, pivot tables, aggregation functions.

4. Handling Missing Values: Detecting, filling, removing.

5. Merging Data: Using merge, join, and concat.

6. Exploratory Data Analysis:

1. Descriptive Statistics

2. Data Visualization with Pandas (Line Plots, Bar Plots, Histograms)

3. Correlation and Covariance

4. Handling Duplicates

5. Data Transformation
NumPy

1. NumPy Arrays:

a. Differences between NumPy arrays and Python lists

b. Creating arrays from lists, ranges, and using arange(), linspace().

2. Array Operations:

a. Basic Arithmetic Operations: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division.

b. Universal Functions: np.sum(), np.mean(), np.std(), etc.

c. Slicing and Indexing: Accessing sub-arrays, reversing arrays.

Integration and Other Key Concepts

1. Visualisation: Basic plots with Pandas and other libraries like Matplotlib.

2. Data Cleaning: Handling duplicates, missing values, data transformations (scaling,


normalisation).

3. File Handling: Reading/writing CSV, JSON files.

4. Combining Data: Merging datasets, understanding different types of joins.
