Python Lesson 3

This document provides an overview of control flow and conditional statements in Python. It discusses six comparison operators (equal to, not equal to, less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to). It also explains the difference between the assignment operator = and equality operator ==. The document then covers the three boolean operators (and, or, not) and their order of operations. Finally, it demonstrates the syntax of an if statement in Python.

Python Lesson 3

Control flow gives us this ability to choose among outcomes based off what else is
happening in the program.
Six comparators

1. Equal to (==)
2. Not equal to (!=)
3. Less than (<)
4. Less than or equal to (<=)
5. Greater than (>)
6. Greater than or equal to (>=)

Difference between = and ==

Note that == compares whether two things are equal, and = assigns a value to a variable.
Boolean operators compare statements and result in boolean values.

There are three boolean operators:

1. and, which checks if both the statements are True;


2. or, which checks if at least one of the statements is True;
3. not, which gives the opposite of the statement.
Just like with arithmetic operators, there's an order of operations for boolean operators:

not is evaluated first;

and is evaluated next;

or is evaluated last.

Parentheses () ensure your expressions are evaluated in the order you want. Anything
in parentheses is evaluated as its own unit.

Conditional Statement Syntax


if is a conditional statement that executes some specified code after checking if its
expression is True.

Here's an example of if statement syntax:

if 8 < 9:
print "Eight is less than nine!"
Lesson 3 Questions

1. Write a program that prints “Hello World”

2. Write a program to assign a variable ‘a’ to a number, add 25 to that variable and print that
variable.

3. Write a program with 3 variables storing text, and print out the 3 variables after being
concatenated.

4. Write a program that prints out if the number you have entered is greater than 5 or below 5.

If the number is greater than 5 the program should print, “Yes! The number is greater than
5”.

Else if the number is less than 5 the program should print, “Sorry, the number is less than 5”.
First it prints the string you give as a parameter (in this case 'Enter your name: '),
and then it waits for a line to be typed in, and returns the string of characters you typed.
applicant = input("Enter the applicant's name: ")
