LAB QUIZ #1
Write a python program which
calculates and displays the total surface
area of a trapezoid. All the values in the
formula should be taken as input from
the user.
• Formula:
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎
= 𝐴 + 𝐵 + (𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 × 𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡)

Decision Making
Aim
Understand the importance and use of decision making in problem
solving

4
Decision Making
• Selecting one choice from many
based on a specific reason or
condition
 If something is true, do A … if
it’s not, do B

• What are some real-life examples?

 Walking around campus
(construction!)
 Choosing where to eat lunch

Decision Making: Pseudocode
Problem Solution

Answer the
PositiveNumberCheck
1. Display “Enter the number: ”

question “Is 2. Get the number (call it num)

If num > 0

a number
3.

4. Display “It is positive”

positive?”
5. Else
6. Display “It is negative”
End

that checks if
entered number is
even or odd.

Python Syntax

10
Python Basics
• Indentation controls everything
 A complete lack of braces {} to indicate code blocks
 Instead, indentation indicates the start and end of a
code block

• Lines of code that begin a block (often) end in a colon (:)

 The first line with less indentation is outside the block
 The first line with more indentation is inside the block

• A newline (Return) is used to indicate the end of a single

line of code
Conditional Statements
if condition:
statements
else:
statements

if a >= 0:
print(“a is a positive number”)
else:
print(“a is a negative number”)

12
Indentation and Conditional
Statements!!!
Incorrect Version Correct Version
a = 33 a = 33

b = 200 b = 200

if b > a: if b > a:
print("b is greater than a") # you will print("b is greater than a") # you will get
get an error an error

13
Conditional Operators

Operator Example Meaning

> (A > B) A is Greater than B
< (A < B) A is Less than B
== (A == B) A is Equal to B
!= (A != B) A is Not Equal to B

14
“Is a number positive?”: Python Code

Pseudocode Python Code:

• PositiveNumberCheck • n = input("Enter the number")

• Display “Enter the number: ” • if float(n)>0:

• Get the number (call it num) • print("positive")

• If num > 0 • else:

• Display “It is positive” • print("negative")

• Else

• Display “It is negative”

• End
Improved Version
• n = input("Enter the number")

• if float(n)>0:

• print("positive")

• elif float(n)==0:

• print("zero")

• else:

• print("negative")

16
Class Activity

Even/ODD Problem Python Code

• EvenOddCheck • n = input("Enter the number")

• Display “Enter the number: ” • if float(n)%2 == 0:

• Get the number (call it num) • print(“Even")

• If num % 2 == 0 • else:

• Display “It is even” • print(“Odd")

• Else

• Display “It is odd”

• End

Logical Operators
Operator Example Meaning
and (A > B) and (A != 0) A is Greater than B and A is not equal
to zero
or (A > 0) or (A == 0) A is Greater than or equal to zero

Input Validation
Input validation is the process of analyzing inputs and disallowing
those which are considered unsuitable.

21
Example (including input validation)
Write a program that takes a
student's score as input and prints
grades as A, B, C, D, or F
depending upon the thresholds
given below.

A: 100 - 90 C: <80 - 70
B: <90 - 80 D: <70 – 60
F: <60 - 0
