 Taking Input in Python
Q) a) Take the name and age of a student as input and store the inputs in appropriate
variables
b) What will be the age of the student after 10 years?
Let’s take the name as input first. Which one is the correct way to take the
input? And why?

A. name=int(input(“Enter your name: “))

A. name=input(“Enter your name:”))

A. name=float(input(“Enter your name:”))

Now let’s take the age as input. Which one is the correct way to take the
input? And why?

A. age=int(input(“Enter your age: “))

A. 123_age=input(“Enter your age:”))

A. *%_name=float(input(“Enter your age:”))

A. studentage=chr(input(“Enter your age:”))

b) What will be the age of the student after 10 years?

age=age+10

age_10=age+10

final_age=age+10

age_after_10_years=age+100
Producing Outputs in Python

3 Programming Constructs/Concepts
1. Sequence
2. Selection
3. Iteration
3 important concepts of programming

When you write lines of code, there are three ways you can control the order these lines will be executed
by the computer:

1. Sequencing: This means that the computer will run your code in order, one line at a time from the
top to the bottom of your program. It will start at line 1, then execute line 2 then line 3 and so on
till it reaches the last line of your program.
2. Selection: Sometimes you only want some lines of code to be run only if a condition is met,
otherwise you want the computer to ignore these lines and jump over them. This is achieved using
IF statements. e.g. If a condition is met then lines 4, 5, 6 are executed otherwise the computer
jumps to line 7 without even looking at line 4,5 and 6.
3. Iteration: Sometimes you want the computer to execute the same lines of code several times. This
is done using a loop. There are three types of loops: For loops, while loops and repeat until loops.
That’s handy as it enables you not to have to copy the same lines of code many times.
SEQUENCE
 What is sequence?
(CLICK on the link attached)
Sequencing in Algorithms

An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. There are

three basic building blocks (constructs) to use when designing algorithms:

● sequencing
● selection
● iteration

These building blocks help to describe solutions in a form ready for programming.
Algorithms consist of instructions that are carried out (performed) one after another.

Sequencing is the specific order in which instructions are performed in an algorithm.

 Why is sequencing important?
For example, a very simple algorithm for
brushing teeth might consist of these steps: It is crucial that the steps in an algorithm are performed
in the right order - otherwise the algorithm will not
1. put toothpaste on toothbrush work correctly. Suppose the steps for the teeth-cleaning
2. use toothbrush to clean teeth algorithm were in this sequence:

3. rinse toothbrush 1. use toothbrush to clean teeth

2. put toothpaste on toothbrush
3. rinse toothbrush
Each step is an instruction to be performed.
Sequencing is the order in which the steps are
A toothbrush would still be used to clean the teeth and
carried out.
toothpaste would still be put on the brush. But because
A computer can only do what it is steps 1 and 2 are in the wrong sequence the teeth
wouldn’t get cleaned with the toothpaste, and the
programmed to do. If the steps are toothpaste would be wasted.
programmed in the wrong sequence, the
A human would realise they had forgotten to add
computer will perform the tasks in this
toothpaste at the start of the process, but a computer
sequence – even if this is incorrect. would not know that anything was wrong.
Sequencing in practice: Drawing a square
An algorithm to get a computer to draw a square on the screen might consist of
these steps:

1. draw a 3 cm line
2. turn left 90 degrees
3. draw a 3 cm line
4. turn left 90 degrees
5. draw a 3 cm line
6. turn left 90 degrees
7. draw a 3 cm line

The steps in this algorithm are in the correct sequence. This algorithm would result
in a perfect square as shown in the picture
If there was a mistake when designing the algorithm, and the steps in this sequence were
placed like this: Because step 6 is in the
1. draw a 3 cm line wrong sequence (it should
switch with step 7), this
2. turn left 90 degrees
algorithm failed. However,
3. draw a 3 cm line
fixing the algorithm - and
4. turn left 90 degrees the square - is easy, because
5. draw a 3 cm line there are only seven steps
6. draw a 3 cm line to look through for the
7. turn left 90 degrees error.

This algorithm would create this shape, rather than a perfect square.
Complex algorithms may have hundreds, if not
thousands, of steps.

It is critical to make sure all steps in the algorithm are in

the correct sequence before programming begins.

Once programmed, trying to find an instruction in the

wrong sequence can be extremely difficult.
In sequence questions:
1. Declare the constants and variables(specified)-
Make sure the names are valid
2. Take the correct inputs and store them
variables/constants using the correct data types
3. Process the inputs
4. Print the outputs

Constants in Python

How are constants declared in Python?

CONST_num_students=110

Whenever you think a value will

remain the same during the course
num_students=110 of a program use the word const in
the name like shown. This will tell
the person checking your code
that you consider it a constant not
a variable.
