About the Book

Python forms the foundation of the practical component in the Artificial Intelligence curriculum for Class IX, as prescribed by the CBSE. Recognizing the increasing significance of coding at the school level, this book has been carefully developed in accordance with the latest CBSE syllabus, with a special focus on the Practical Examination, which carries a substantial weightage of 50 marks out of 100.

The CBSE practical syllabus is divided into two key sections—Part C and Part D. This book has been structured to cover both parts thoroughly:

• Part C focuses exclusively on Python programming, supplemented by a variety of viva voce questions. It also includes topics related to flowcharts, Python syntax, and basic programming logic. This section is designed to help students assess their conceptual understanding and sharpen their programming skills through hands-on practice.

• Part D extends this learning with a collection of Python-based projects and additional practice programs tailored to the learning level of Class IX students. A comprehensive set of viva questions related to Python has also been included in this section to reinforce understanding and prepare students confidently for their practical exams.

The book has been crafted to ensure a gradual and logical progression, making it easier for students to grasp fundamental programming concepts and apply them effectively. The real-life programming exercises, flowchart integration, and solution-based approach aim to empower learners with the tools they need to perform confidently in exams and beyond.

We hope this book serves as a comprehensive guide for students preparing for the practical segment of the Artificial Intelligence course. Feedback, suggestions for improvement, or identification of any errors are most welcome and will be duly incorporated in subsequent editions.
