    • Understand loops: for and while
    • Write reusable functions for efficient code management
  • Error Handling:

    • Learn to anticipate and gracefully handle errors (try, except)

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Practical Exercises: To solidify your learning, you'll engage in three practical exercises that require interaction with the user through the command line. These exercises will help you understand real-world applications of Python concepts:

  1. Calculate the volume of a rectangular box.
  2. Find the sum of all multiples of a list of numbers up to 1000.
  3. Display a multiplication table with dimensions specified by the user.
