• Iterating over strings and lists

Loops - While Loops & Loop Control

• while loops
• break, continue, and pass

        Lists

• Creating lists
• Accessing and modifying items
• List methods: .append(), .remove(), .sort(), etc.

Day 3: Tuples and Sets

• Tuples: syntax, immutability
• Sets: unique items, set methods

         Error Handling

• try, except, finally
• Common Python errors (ZeroDivisionError, ValueError, etc.)

Day 5: Modules and Importing

• Importing built-in modules (math, random)
• Writing and importing custom modules

      Practice Day

• Small projects or practice problems using functions, loops, and collections
