   2. Using Python as a calculator to perform basic arithmetic operations
   3. Introduction to variables, data types, and basic input/output operations
2. Control Structures
   1. Using conditional statements (if, else, elif) to control program flow
   2. Looping techniques with for and while loops
   3. Working with logical operators (and, or, not) to build more complex conditions
3. Data Structures
   1. Introduction to Python’s built-in data structures: lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets
   2. Manipulating and accessing elements in data structures
   3. Understanding the importance of indexing, slicing, and iteration
4. Functions
   1. Defining and using functions to structure code
   2. Understanding parameters, arguments, and return values
   3. The concept of recursion and how to implement simple recursive functions
5. Error Handling and Debugging
