Python Lists, Dictionaries and Functions

Prerequisites: Basic Python syntax, variables, data types, and operators. 

This module teaches three fundamental concepts through a progressive, hands-on lab. You'll start with lists, learning how to create, index, and modify ordered collections, along with list comprehensions for writing concise data transformations. Next, you'll move to dictionaries, covering key-value pairs, common methods like `.get()` and `.items()`, and how they're used to model structured data such as user profiles or inventory records. Finally, you'll learn functions — defining parameters and return values, understanding variable scope, and organizing repeated logic into clean, reusable blocks.

To provide an understanding of and apply fundamental Python data structures to include:

• A good understanding of Lists to store and organize data
• The use of key-value pairs when using a Dictionary
• Introduce modularity and reuseability with Functions

• Ubuntu Linux Workstation
• Visual Studio Code IDE
