Hands-On Coding Tutor (2+ years of experience) | Learn C, C++, Web & App Development

The Student and Tutor reviewed Python functions, practicing list manipulation, and discussed the roles of actual and formal parameters. The main focus shifted to an introduction to recursion, including base conditions, forward and backward recursion, and implementing a recursive factorial function. For homework, the Student was assigned to implement a recursive function to count digits in a number.

The Student and Tutor continued their Python programming lessons, focusing on the data structures tuples and dictionaries. They reviewed list concepts, then deeply explored tuples, covering their immutability, creation, traversal, and basic methods, including a practice problem on counting even/odd numbers. Subsequently, they introduced dictionaries, demonstrating their creation, iteration methods (keys, values, items), and mutability through practical exercises such as counting character frequencies and finding the highest mark in a student dictionary. The Tutor assigned follow-up practice questions and planned a dedicated practice session for the next class on Tuesday.

The Student and Tutor reviewed Python loop iteration, differentiating between `range` (indexes) and direct iteration (values). They extensively practiced nested loops to generate various geometric and character-based patterns, including inverted designs. The session concluded with a comprehensive review of essential string manipulation methods and functions. The Student was assigned to practice questions from the notes PDF before the next session.

Student and Tutor practiced core Python programming concepts, primarily focusing on functions. They implemented functions for list input, multiplication of list elements, number reversal using a while loop, finding the largest number in a list, and counting vowels in a character list. The Tutor assigned homework to review notes and solve practice sheet questions to solidify understanding of iteration, loops, and data types before the next session.

The Student and Tutor continued building a WordPress website using Elementor, focusing on site settings and content creation. They set up the site title, tagline, and logo, then proceeded to create and style sections for 'Our Manifesto' and 'Resources and Links'. The session involved configuring headings, paragraphs, buttons, and image boxes, and linking a page, with plans for further styling adjustments in future sessions.

The Student and Tutor practiced Python programming, focusing on list manipulation and `while` loops. They worked through problems involving creating, modifying, and iterating over lists, as well as complex logic problems like counting digits and calculating factorials. The Student was assigned to practice the factorial problem and another list-based problem from a worksheet, with a plan to discuss them in the next session.
