c) multiple nested ifs
d) a basic for-loop
e) for-loop with else
f) a basic while-loop
g) while-loop with else
6) Redo Q5 as flowcharts
 Simplification Delimiter: characters used to define boundaries between different types of data (e.g. full stop in English, a
semi-colon in SQL, Java etc)
y=y+5 y=y–5 Concatenation: putting together two strings (see brown box below titled ‘Strings’), ‘+’ is used for this purpose.
y += 5 y–=5 print(): outputs a message to the screen based on what is in the brackets e.g. (x) will output the value of ‘x’,
(“H”) will output the letter ‘H’.
y=y/5 y=y*5
y/=5 y *= 5
Arrays / Lists
y=y+1 y=y–1 Ø used for storing multiple items
y++ y-- e.g. letters = [a, b, c] num = [1, 2, 3, 4]
Ø can also have multi-dimensional / nested lists:
e.g. x = [hello, 5, [s, 11], true]
for-loop prices = [ [bulb, 2] , [screw, 0.5], [pen, 1] ]
Ø each item is called using 0-based indexing
Ø Simple for-loop
e.g. letters[0]à a x[3] à true
for(item in array):
do this prices[1] à [screw, 0.5] prices[1,0] à screw
e.g.
list=[bburn, bolton, burnley]
for(a in list):
print(a)
num=[1, 12, 43,98]
for(x in num):
x = x*2
Ø for / else
num=[1, 12, 43,98]
for(x in num):
x = x*2
else:
print(“end”)
 if-statement
Ø Simple if/else
if(this is true): if
do this then
else: else
do this
Ø If there is no ‘else’ part (and the ‘if’ is not true) then the
computer does NOTHING (i.e. goes to the next line of code)
e.g. if(age<17):
print (“17”)
If age is 17 or more nothing happens

while(this is true):
Ø There can be multiple ‘if’s (i.e. multiple conditions to
check):

print(“end”)
while(age<10):

while(age<10):
while-loop

print(age)

print(age)
if(age<16):
if(hifz==true)
Ø Simple while

do this

Ø While / else
print(“lunchtime at 12”)

age++

age++
Only prints ‘lunctime…’ if both conditions are true, and if first age=0

age=0

else:
is false then it doesn’t bother checking second
Ø Multiple ‘if’s can also be achieved with ‘and’ ‘or’
e.g.

if(age<16 and hifz==true):

print(“lunchtime at 12”)
Ø Multiple ‘if’s inside the ‘else’ part
if(hifz==true):
print(“lunch at 12”)
else:
if(age<16):
print(“lunch at 12”)
else
print(“lunch at 12.30”)
Ø Else-if can be also be written as ‘elif’
if(hifz==true):
print(“lunch at 12”)
elif(age<16):
print(“lunch at 12”)
else:
print(“lunch at 12.30”)
 Practice Questions
1) Simplify the following
value = value + 5
noStudents = noStudents * 6
hellow = hellow / 12
number = number –10

2) Write the final value of ‘y’ at the end of each line:

y=5 hello = 22 noStudents = 14
L1: y=y+2 à
L2: y = y + hello à
L3: hello = y + noStudents à
L4: y = hello à
L5: y = noStudents à
L6: y = hello – y à

3) Write the final value of each variable at each line:

y=5 hello = 22 noStudents = 14 twenty = 0
L1: twenty = y – 2
L2: y = y + hello
L3: hello = y – noStudents

23) Write code to check if number inputted by user is odd or even. Output appropriate messages to
reflect this.

vote. Then extend the program tell them how many years it is until they can retire (assume at age
65).

indicates if the number is either within the range, too high or too low.
26) Complete the following task

Three is a Crowd
• Make a list of names that includes at least four people.

people in your list.
• Modify your list so that there are only two people in it. Use one of the methods for removing people
from the list, don't just redefine the list.
• Run your if test again. There should be no output this time, because there are less than three people in
the list.
• Add an else statement to your if tests. If the else statement is run, have it print a message that the room
is not very crowded.

27) Complete the following task

33) Write code for the following task:

Growing Strength
• Make a variable called strength, and set its initial value to 5.
• Print a message reporting the player's strength.
• Set up a while loop that runs until the player's strength increases to a value such as 10.
• Inside the while loop, print a message that reports the player's current strength.
• Inside the while loop, write a statement that increases the player's strength.
• Outside the while loop, print a message reporting that the player has grown too strong, and that they
have moved up to a new level of the game.
