Programming
Programming in Python:
- Recursively find the factorial of a natural number.
- Read a file line by line and print it.
- Remove all the lines containing the character `a’ in a file and write it to another.
- Write a Python function sin(x, n) to calculate the sin(x) value using its Taylor series expansion up to n terms.
- Compare the values of sin(x) for different values of n with the correct value.
- Write a random number generator that generates numbers between 1 and 6 (simulates a dice).
- Write a recursive code to find the sum of all list elements.
- Write a recursive code to compute the nth Fibonacci number.
- Write a Python program to implement a stack and queue using a list data structure.
- Write a recursive Python program to test whether a string is a palindrome.
- Write a Python program to plot the function y = x2 using the pyplot or matplotlib libraries.
- Create a graphical application that accepts user inputs, performs some operations on them, and then writes the output on the screen. For example, write a small calculator. Use the Tkinter library.
- Open a webpage using the urllib library.
- Compute EMIs for a loan using the Numpy or Scipy libraries.
- Take a sample of 10 phishing e-mails and find the most common words.
Data Management: SQL and web-server
- Find the minimum, maximum, sum, and average marks in a student marks table.
- Find the total number of customers from each country in the table (customer ID, customer name, country) using group by.
- Write a SQL query to order the (student ID, marks) table in descending order of the marks.
- Integrate SQL with Python by importing the MySQL module
- Write a Django based webserver to parse a user request (POST), and write it to a CSV file.
Project
The class project aims to create something tangible and valuable. This should be done in groups of 2 to 3 students and started by students at least six months before the submission deadline. The aim here is to find a real-world problem that is worthwhile. Students are encouraged to visit local businesses and ask them about the issues that they are facing.
For example, suppose a business is finding it hard to create invoices for filing GST claims. In that case, students can do a project that takes the raw data (list of transactions), groups the transactions by category, accounts for the GST tax rates, and creates invoices in the appropriate format. Students can be highly creative here. They can use a wide variety of Python libraries to develop user-friendly applications such as games, software for their school, software for their disabled fellow students, and mobile applications, Of course, to do some of this projects, some additional learning is required; this should be encouraged. Students should know how to teach themselves. If three people work on a project for six months, at least 500 lines of code are expected.
The committee has also been made aware of the degree of plagiarism in such projects. Teachers should take a rigorous look at this situation and take stringent disciplinary action against students who cheat on lab assignments projects or use pirated software to do the same. Everything proposed can be achieved using free, legitimate open-source software.
NOTE:- If there is any change, the Syllabus will be updated soon.
