    This document provides instructions for extending a Python program that displays the number of people currently in space. It prompts the user to guess the number, then compares their guess to the actual number and displays an appropriate message. The document outlines steps to take the program, including asking for the user's guess as input, storing it in a variable, ensuring it is an integer, using if/elif/else statements to check if the guess is equal to, less than, or greater than the actual number, and displaying a corresponding message. It also provides testing examples and tips for each step.

    People in space

    Worked example . Weather


    This is an example of a Python program that you developed earlier. It prompts the user
    for the weather in a particular location and provides clothing advice accordingly.

    1 print("What’s the weather like?")


    2 weather = input()
    3 if weather == "cloudy":
    4 advice = "No sunglasses"
    5 elif weather == "rainy":
    6 advice = "Get an umbrella"
    7 elif weather == "snowy":
    8 advice = "Mittens and earmuffs"
    9 else:
    10 advice = "No particular advice"
    11 print(advice)

    Syntax checklist
    If you encounter an error message, read it and try to fix the problem. Use the list below
    to check for common errors (and tick ✓ if you find yours).

    misspelt if or else (this includes using capitals)

    forgot the colon : after the if condition or after else

    forgot to indent statements in the if block or the else block

    indented if or else by mistake

    used = instead of == in the condition for if, to check if two values are equal
    used quotes around the name of a variable

    forgot to use quotes around a string literal (like "snowy")

    Testing your program


    Once you manage to run your program successfully, test it at least once for every
    possible branch of the if, elif, else statement.

    Task . People in space


    Below is a short program that displays how many people are currently in space.

    1 import random
    2 people = random.randint(1,10)
    3 print(people, "people in space right now")

    Step 1
    Open Copy this pice of code into REPLIT.COM and extend it, so that it asks the user to
    guess the number of people currently in space.

    Example
    Note: The number of people in space is retrieved from an online service through the people function. It
    is not always the same and the numbers shown here are just an example.

    The program displays a prompt How many people do you think are in
    and waits for keyboard input. space right now?
    The user types in a reply. 5

    The program displays the correct 8 people in space right now


    number.

    Tip
    Don’t delete or modify any of the existing program statements, as you will need them.
    Simply insert any additional instructions.
    Tip

    Introduce a variable called guess, to refer to the number entered by the user.

    Tip

    Don’t forget that the user’s guess should be an integer. You will need to use int.

    Tip
    Before you proceed to the next step, make sure that you run your program, to verify
    that there are no errors.
    Step 2
    Extend the program so that it compares the number of people in space with the user’s
    guess and displays an appropriate message.

    Example
    Note: The number of people in space is retrieved from an online service through the people function. It
    is not always the same and the numbers shown here are just an example.

    The program displays a prompt How many people do you think are in
    and waits for keyboard input. space right now?
    The user types in a reply. 8

    The program displays a message That's right!


    that the user’s guess is correct. 8 people in space right now

    Example
    Note: The number of people in space is retrieved from an online service through the people function. It
    is not always the same and the numbers shown here are just an example.

    The program displays a prompt How many people do you think are in
    and waits for keyboard input. space right now?
    The user types in a reply. 5

    The program displays a message It's actually more than that


    that the user’s guess is incorrect, 8 people in space right now
    along with the correct number.

    Example
    Note: The number of people in space is retrieved from an online service through the people function. It
    is not always the same and the numbers shown here are just an example.

    The program displays a prompt How many people do you think are in
    and waits for keyboard input. space right now?
    The user types in a reply. 9

    The program displays a message It's actually fewer than that


    that the user’s guess is incorrect, 8 people in space right now
    along with the correct number.

    Tip

    There are three branches, so use multi-branch selection: if, elif, else.

    Tip

    Use == to compare if two values are equal.

    Use < or > to compare if a value is less than or greater than another.
    Explorer task . Temperature
    Write this code into REPLIT.COM and check that it works.

    import random
    temperature = random.random int(5,30)
    print("Where do you live?")
    location = input()
    temp = temperature(location)

    Step 1
    Extend the program so that it displays an appropriate message depending on the range
    that the current temperature is in.

    Example
    Note: The current temperature is retrieved from an online service. It is not always the same and the
    numbers shown here are just an example.

    The program displays a prompt Where do you live?


    and waits for keyboard input.

    The user types in a reply. Nuuk

    The program displays the current Current temperature in Nuuk is -5.0


    temperature and a message that It’s freezing cold
    depends on the temperature.
