T Level Digital Software Development – Core Area 2: Python Examples

This repository provides a user-friendly reference of all Python commands listed in Appendix 2 of the T Level Digital Software Development Specification (Version 1.0 – May 2025) by Pearson.
It is designed to support students, educators, and AI copilots studying Core Area 2: Introduction to Programming.


About this project

The HTML page core-area-2-python-examples.html contains:

  • All required Python commands from the official specification
  • Short, clear explanations in plain English
  • Runnable example code written for Python 3.10+
  • Inline # Output: comments to demonstrate expected results
  • Simple structure for use in chatbots, copilots, and digital learning systems

The examples strictly follow the approved Appendix 2 command set and do not include any external libraries or syntax beyond those listed in the specification.


Contents by category

  1. Input, Output, and Type Conversion
  2. Selection (if, elif, else, match case)
  3. Iteration (for, while)
  4. Functions (def)
  5. Standard Libraries (math, random)
  6. Built-in Functions (range, len, max, min, round, chr, ord)
  7. String Handling (upper, lower, find, replace, split, strip, format, etc.)
  8. Data Structures (lists and dictionaries)
  9. Text Files (open, write, read, close)
  10. Dates and Times (datetime.now, strftime, strptime)

Usage

View locally

  1. Clone or download this repository.
  2. Open core-area-2-python-examples.html in any modern web browser.
  3. Explore examples interactively or copy snippets into Visual Studio Code / IDLE.

Integrate with a copilot or knowledge engine

  • Use the HTML file as a knowledge-base source or embed it in your documentation index.
  • Each code block is lightweight and self-contained for parsing and reasoning tasks.

Learning objectives

Learners will:

  • Understand how each Python command works in context.
  • Recognise correct syntax and common usage patterns.
  • Predict program outputs confidently.
  • Build solid foundations for the T Level Core Exam Paper 1 and Employer Set Project (Task 4A).
