Distribution of Marks and Periods:

Unit 1: Computer Systems and Organisation

• Basic computer organisation: description of a computer system and mobile system, CPU, memory, hard disk, I/O, battery.
• Types of software: application, System, utility.
• Memory Units: bit, byte, MB, GB, TB, and PB.
• Boolean logic: OR, AND, NAND, NOR, XOR, NOT, truth tables, De Morgan’s laws.
• Information representation: numbers in base 2, 8, 16, binary addition.
• Strings: ASCII, UTF8, UTF32, ISCII (Indian script code), Unicode.
• Basic concepts of Flowchart  Concept of Compiler & Interpreter.
• Running a program: Notion of an operating system, how an operating system runs a program, idea of loading, operating system as a resource manager.
• Concept of cloud computing, cloud (public/private), introduction to parallel computing.

Unit 2: Computational Thinking andProgramming
Basics of Computational Thinking: Decomposition, Pattern Recognition/ Data representation, Generalization/ Data Abstraction, and algorithm. Familiarization with the basics of Python programming: a simple “hello world” program, process of writing a program (Interactive & Script mode), running it, and print statements; simple data-types: integer, float, string.

• Features of Python, Python Character Set, Token & Identifiers, Keywords, Literals, Delimiters, operators.
• Comments: (Single line & Multiline/ Continuation statements), Clarity & Simplification of expression.
• Introduce the notion of a variable, and methods to manipulate it (concept of Lvalue and R-value even if not taught explicitly).
• Knowledge of data types and operators: accepting input from the console, assignment statement, expressions, operators and their precedence.
• Operators & types: Binary operators-Arithmetic, Relational operators, Logical Operators, Augmented Assignment operators.
• Conditional statements: if, if-else, if-elif-else; simple programs: e.g.: absolute value, sort 3 numbers,and divisibility.
• Notion of iterative computation and control flow: for(range(), len()), while, flowcharts, suggested programs: interest calculation and factorials, etc.
• Idea of debugging: errors and exceptions; debugging: Pdb, breakpoints.
• Lists, tuples and dictionary: finding the maximum, minimum, mean; linear search on list/tuple of numbers, and counting the frequency of elements in a list using a dictionary. Introduce the notion of accessing elements in a collection using numbers and names.
• Sorting algorithm: bubble and insertion sort; count the number of operations while sorting.
• Strings: Traversing, compare, concat, substring.
• Introduction to Python modules: Importing math (sqrt, cell, floor, pow, fabs, sin, cos, tan, random (random, randint, randrange), statistics (mean, median, mode) modules.

Unit 3: Data Management

• Relational databases: Concept of a database, relations, attributes and tuples, keys- candidate key, primary key, alternate key, foreign key; Degree and cardinality of a table.
• Use SQL – DDL/ DML commands to CREATE TABLE, INSERT INTO, UPDATE TABLE, DELETE FROM, ALTER TABLE, MODIFY TABLE, DROP TABLE, keys, and foreign keys; to view content of a table: SELECT-FROM WHERE-ORDER BY along with BETWEEN, IN, LIKE, (Queries only on single table).
• Aggregate functions – MIN, MAX, AVG, COUNT, SUM.
• Basics of NoSQL databases.

Unit 4: Society, Law and Ethics – Cyber safety

• Cyber safety: safely browsing the web, identity protection, confidentiality, social networks, cyber trolls and bullying.
• Appropriate usage of social networks: spread of rumours, and common social networking sites (Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook) and specific usage rules.
• Safely accessing web sites: adware, malware, viruses, Trojans.
• Safely communicating data: secure connections, eavesdropping, phishing and identity verification.

Practical

1. Programming in Python: At least the following Python concepts should be covered in the lab sessions: expressions, conditionals, loops, list, dictionary, and strings. The following are some representative lab assignments.
   • Find the largest and smallest numbers in a list.
   • Find the third largest number in a list.
   • Test for primarily.
   • Find whether a string is a palindrome or not.
   • Given two integers x and n, compute xⁿ.
   • Compute the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of two integers.
   • Test if a number is equal to the sum of the cubes of its digits. Find the smallest and largest such numbers.
2. Data Management: SQL Commands At least the following SQL commands should be covered during the labs: create, insert, delete, select, and join. The following are some representative assignments.
   • Create a student table with the student id, name, and marks as attributes where the student is the primary key.
   • Insert the details of a new student in the above table.
   • Delete the details of a particular student in the above table.
   • Use the select command to get the details of the students with marks more than 80.
   • Create a new table (name, date of birth) by joining two tables (student id, name) and (student id, date of birth).
   • Create a new table (order ID, Customer Name, and order Date) by joining two tables (order ID, customer ID, and order Date) and (customer ID, customer Name, Contact Name, country).
