Programming and Problem Solving through Python Language

O Level / A Level

Chapter -4: Operators, Expressions and Python Statements

Decision Making within a Program


• Decision making is the selection of a course of action from among available alternatives
in order to produce a desired result.
• The conditional test either evaluates to a true or a false.
• The concept of evaluating and obtaining a result is referred to as decision making
in a programming language.
• "True" is considered the same as "yes," which is also considered the same as 1.
• "False" is considered the same as "no," which is considered the same as 0.
• Python programming language assumes any non­zero and non­null values as true, and if
it is either zero or null, then it is assumed as false value.

Control Statement
• A control statement modifies the order of statement execution.
• A control statement can cause other program statements to execute multiple times or not
to execute at all, depending on the circumstances.

Types of Control Statement

1) Branching Statement : used to select one of the alternative statement


i. if Statement
ii. if­else Statement.
iii. If­elif Statement

2) Looping or Iterative Statement : used to repeat the statement till the condition is true.
i. for loop
ii. while loop
If statement
• The ‘if’ statement is one of the Python′s program control statements.
• The ‘if’ statement evaluates an expression and directs program execution depending on
the result of the evaluation.
• If expression evaluates to true, statement is executed.
• If statement evaluates to false, statement is not executed.
• An ‘if’ statement can control the execution of multiple statements through the use of a
compound statement, or block.
• A block is a group of two or more statements indented at same level
level.

If Syntax
if expression:
statement(s)

Example
var1 = 100
if var1:
print ("1 ­ Got a true expression value")
value"
print (var1))

var2 = 0
if var2:
print ("2 ­ Got a true expression value")
value"
print (var2))
print ("Good
"Good bye!")
bye!"

Output
1 ­ Got a true expression value
100
Good bye!
Else Statement
• An ‘if’ statement can optionally include an else clause.
• The else clause is included as shown below:
• If expression evaluates to true, statement1 is executed.
• If expression evaluates to false, statement2 is executed.
• Both statement1 and statement2 can be compound statements or block

If-else Statement
• The combination of the ‘if’ and ‘else’ clause is called the ‘if-else’ statement.
• If expression is true, statement1 is executed; otherwise, statement2 is executed.
• If the first expression, expression1, is true, statement1 is executed before the program
continues with the next statement.

Syntax

if expression :
statement(s)
else :
statement(s)

Example
var1 = 100
if var1:
print ("1 ­ Got a true expression value")
print (var1)
else:
print ("1 ­ Got a false expression value")
print (var1)
var2 = 0
if var2:
print ("2 ­ Got a true expression value")
print (var2)
else:
print ("2 ­ Got a false expression value")
print (var2)

print ("Good bye!")

Output
1 ­ Got a true expression value
100
2 ­ Got a false expression value
0
Good bye!

The elif Statement

The elif statement allows you to check multiple expressions for TRUE and
execute a block of code as soon as one of the conditions evaluates to TRUE.

Syntax

if expression1 :
statement(s)
elif expression2 :
statement(s)
elif expression3 :
statement(s)
else :
statement(s)
Example
var = 100
if var == 200:
print ("1 ­ Got a true exp)ression value")
print (var)
elif var == 150:
print ("2 ­ Got a true expression value")
print (var)
elif var == 100:
print ("3 ­ Got a true expression value")
print (var)
else:
print ("4 ­ Got a false expression value")
print (var)

print "Good bye!"

Output
3 ­ Got a true expression value
100
Good bye!

Assignment

1) Write a program to display the square and cube of a positive number.


2) Write a program to display the greater of 2 numbers.
3) Write a program to check an entered number is Odd or Even. [ hint – use % modulus
operator to determine the remainder ]
4) Write a program to check an entered number is divisible by 7 or not.
5) In an examination, the grades are awarded to the students in ‘SCIENCE’ according to the
average marks obtained in the examination.
Marks Grades
80% and above Distinction
60% or more but less than 80% First Division
45% or more but less than 60% Second Division
40% or more but less than 45% Pass
Less than 40% Promotion not granted
Write a program to input marks in Physics , Chemistry and Biology. Calculate the
average marks. Display the average marks and grade obtained.
