Python II: Control Structures — Building on your prior knowledge of variables and operators, this course gets into the meat of programming. Organized into five chapters, this course starts by covering the fundamentals of what control structures are and what they do, then moves on to four common control structures in Python. Conditionals let you modify what your program does based on the values of incoming variables. Loops let you repeat tasks for multiple values or while certain conditions hold true. Functions let you encapsulate complex reasoning into reusable chunks of code. Error handling lets you intelligently recover from anticipated and unanticipated glitches. By the end of this course, you'll be able to write complex programs in Python that perform useful reasoning. Required prerequisite(s): CS1301xI or equivalent knowledge is required. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Certain problems may benefit from experience with algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and trigonometry, but you can succeed without these.
