   • comments

   • the print() function

   • the input() function

   • numeral systems (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal)

   • numeric operators: ** * / % // + –

   • string operators: * +

   • assignments and shortcut operators

2. Exam block #2: Data Types, Evaluations, and Basic I/O Operations (20%)
   

   Objectives covered by the block(6 exam items)

   • operators: unary and binary, priorities and binding

   • bitwise operators: ~ & ^ | << >>

   • Boolean operators: not and or

   • Boolean expressions

   • relational operators ( == != > >= < <=), building complex Boolean expressions

   • accuracy of floating-point numbers

   • basic input and output operations using the input(), print(), int(), float(), str(), len() functions

   • formatting print() output with end= and sep= arguments

   • type casting

   • basic calculations

   • simple strings: constructing, assigning, indexing, immutability

3. Exam block #3: Flow Control – loops and conditional blocks (20%)

   Objectives covered by the block(6 exam items)

   • conditional statements: if, if-else, if-elif, if-elif-else

   • multiple conditional statements

   • the pass instruction

   • building loops: while, for, range(), in

   • iterating through sequences

   • expanding loops: while-else, for-else

   • nesting loops and conditional statements

   • controlling loop execution: break, continue

4. Exam block #4: Data Collections – Lists, Tuples, and Dictionaries (23%)

   Objectives covered by the block(7 exam items)

   • simple lists: constructing vectors, indexing and slicing, the len() function

   • lists in detail: indexing, slicing, basic methods (append(), insert(), index()) and functions (len(), sorted(), etc.), del instruction, iterating lists with the for loop, initializing, in and not in operators, list comprehension, copying and cloning

   • lists in lists: matrices and cubes

   • tuples: indexing, slicing, building, immutability

   • tuples vs. lists: similarities and differences, lists inside tuples and tuples inside lists

   • dictionaries: building, indexing, adding and removing keys, iterating through dictionaries as well as their keys and values, checking key existence, keys(), items() and values() methods

   • strings in detail: escaping using the character, quotes and apostrophes inside strings, multiline strings, basic string functions.

5. Exam block #5: Functions (20%)

   Objectives covered by the block(6 exam items)

   • defining and invoking your own functions and generators

   • return and yield keywords, returning results,

   • the None keyword,

   • recursion

   • parameters vs. arguments,

   • positional keyword and mixed argument passing,

   • default parameter values

   • converting generator objects into lists using the list() function

   • name scopes, name hiding (shadowing), the global keyword

Once you complete this course, you’ll know everything you need to know to pass the PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification Exam.
