By the end of this course, you will be able to:
 Write basic Python programs.
 Work with essential data structures like lists,
dictionaries, and sets.
 Utilize control flow statements like if, else, and for
loops.
 Handle data using libraries like NumPy and Pandas.
 Create basic data visualizations with Matplotlib.
