Module 1 (Feb 25 - March 8)

The main focus of this Module will be problem solving using Python Loops, Lists, and String Manipulation, as well as properly formatted functions and docstrings. Since it is relevant to string manipulation, we will also briefly review number systems, character mapping, and byte sequences. In addition to Python 'Topics to Review' highlighted on the skills worksheet, any material presented in this module is fair game for the quiz.
