This chapter introduced us to the basics of Python programmming which involved learning about basic operations and setting up IDLE.
This chapter introduced us to loops and conditions that control the 'flow' of the program.
This chapter talked about the use and significance of functions and basic function definition.
Collatz - This project involved making a collatz sequence with a number from the user.
This chapter talked about lists and various functions for list manipulations.
CommaCode - This program takes a list value as an argument and returns a string value with the items separated by commas
Character - This program prints an image using a grid containing lists.
This chapter introduced us to dictionaries and the concept of keys and values. There was also information about various dictionary manipulations which is rather similar to that of a list.

FantasyGameInventor - A program that takes different items from the user and creates an inventory which can be updated.
This chapter taught me about a variety of functions for manipulating strings.
TablePrinter - A program that creates a table which right justifies each item in the table and presents it in a neat format.
This chapter introduced the concept of regular expressions or regexes. A neat way of identifying pattern expressions in text and extracting them.
This chapter talked about the PyInputPlus module which has input functions that accepts only a value of a specific kind of data type from the user.
SandwichMaker - A program that gives the price of a sandwich after the user gives their different sandwich preferences.
This chapter contained methods to read, write files through the pathlib module. It talked about file paths and saving variables with the shelve module and the pprint.pformat()
Madlibs - A program that reads a Madlibs text document and asks for different kinds of words from the user and writes the new Madlibs paragraph in a text doc.
This chapter talked about different ways of organising files using the shutil and zipfile module.
The chapter talked about four ways of finding a bug in a program - raising exceptions, using assertions, logging and debugging
DebuggingCoinToss - This program had to be debugged where the user had two tries to guess whether the coin landed on heads or tails.
The chapter introduced us to the concept of web scraping using different modules - webbrowser,requests,bs4 and selenium.
Command Line Emailer - This program automates sending a email to someone taking onlt the recipient address and the message from the command line.
The chapter talked about manipulating Excel spreadsheets with Python.
MultiplicationTable - A program that accepts a number from the user and makes a multiplication table on an Excel sheet.
This chapter talked about using Google spreadsheets through Google APIs through credentials and tokens.
SheetMistakes - A program that checks a multiplication error in a list of 15000 entries in a spreadsheet.
ConvertingSpreadsheet - A program that converts a spreadsheet into different fomats like PDFs and Excel sheets and saves it locally.
This chapter contained functions for interacting with PDFs and Word docs using PyPDF2 and docx module.
BruteForcePasswordBreak - A program that will decrypt an encrypted PDF document with trying out words from a dictionary.
This chapter talked about working with CSV files and JSON files using the csv and json modules respectively.
This chapter talked about displaying ad keeping track of time with Python using the time module.
prettifiedStopwatch - a program that behaves like a stopwatch and presents the laptime in a neat format.
This chapter taught me an interesting way to deal with emails using the EZGmail module, sending and recieving mails using SMTP and IMAP and sending text messages using Twilio.
This chapter talked about editing images using the Pillow module.
This chapter introduced me to GUI automation using the pyatuogui module.
LookingBusy - A program that will nudge the cursor after 10 seconds
