Today we will learn about conditionals. Explain the

Teacher shares the screen and open Repl.it

Knowledge Similar situations can be represented in Teacher Activity 1:

Transfer programming using the i​ f ​statement. Repl.it

Whatever is written after the keyword, i​ f​ is the

condition​.
We know that the condition here is ​True​, i.e 10
is greater than 9, so the statement under ​if​ will
be executed.

 Let’s see what happens if we put a F
​ alse
condition after ​if

Here, as there is no statement for the computer

to run, there is no output.

If we want the computer to do something

specific if the condition is ​False, ​then we have
to use the statement called ​if else.

Here we have two blocks of code.

The block below ​if statement ​is executed

only when the ​condition is True
The block below the ​else statement ​is
executed only when the ​condition is False.

Until now, we saw two conditional statements Teacher Activity 2:

in Python: Syntax
● If statement
● If else statement

Now, the most important thing in these

statements is the ​condition.
Did you notice that a ​condition​ has only two
values, either ​True ​or ​False.
Like we store numbers in variables, we can
also store these ​values of conditions​ in
variables.

These variables have a special name,

Boolean Variable.

So, if we write ​a=8>1, ​then the value of ​a​ is

True, ​as the condition is true.

 Similarly, if we write ​b=8<1, ​then the value of
b​ is ​False, ​as the condition is false.

And the ​data type​ of ​a ​and ​b ​is ​Boolean.

The direct way to check the data type of any

variable is using the function, ​type

So, if we write ​type(a) ​or​ type(b) ​the output is

bool, ​which stands for boolean variable.

Now, let’s do some activity to check how much

you have learned.

● Stop sharing screen

● Ask the student to share screen
● Click on Student Activity 1: Conditionals

The goal of this activity is to write a program Student Activity 1:

which takes input from the user and check if it Conditionals
is even or odd.

So, the first step is to get a number from the Explain the
user. ​input ​function helps us in doing so, but question and
one issue with input function is that it takes guide the student
input in ​String​. to fill in the
blanks.
So to get a number in variable n ​ um, ​we need to
convert S
​ tring​ into i​ nt.​ This change of data
type can be done by the function ​int

 Now, we have a valid number in variable num.
Can you tell me when a number is even??

For a number to be even, it must be divisible by

2, i.e. when the number is divided by 2, the
remainder is zero.

Do you remember how to find the remainder??

Yes, the Modulus operator is used to find the

remainder.

So, ​num%2 ​will give the remainder.

We want the remainder to be equal to zero.

Do you remember how to compare if two

things are equal?

Yes, using the double equal to operator.

Thus, n
​ um%2==0​ will be true if num is divisible
by 2 and false if num is not divisible by 2.

Great!! You wrote a program to check whether a

number is even or not.

Now, let's learn something more.

● Ask the student to stop sharing the screen

● Share your screen and open teacher activity link 3

So, till now we have learned about two Teacher Activity 3:

conditional statements i​ f​ and ​if else, w
​ e also Grading System
learned about ​boolean variables​ and
relational operators

We also used the ​input f​ unction to take values

from the user and then used the ​int f​ unction to
convert the input into a number.

Now, let’s learn about one more conditional

statement.

 Imagine a situation, which can have more than Click on grading
just one condition, like a grading system. system.png to
open the image

For such a type of condition we have a different

conditional statement which is basically an
extension of i​ f else​ statement.

After the else part we add another if else Click on elif.png

condition and so on.
This is called the ​elif statement

So, first we take the percentage from the user

using the input function.
As percentage can be a decimal number, so we
convert the percentage into float using the float
function.

Now, the first condition according to the table is

that if the percentage is between 80 and 100
then the grade will be A.

Here, 80 and 100 both are included, so the

condition must be ​p>=80 AND p<=100

This condition actually is composed of two

conditions: p>=80 and p<=100, so to combine
the two we use the ​logical operator, “and”

Explain the whole

program, step by
step.

Different Logical operators are:

 ● not

and​ is used when we want both the conditions

to be either true or false

or ​is used when we want either of the two

conditions to be true or false

not​ is used just to convert a true condition into

false and vice versa.

● Stop sharing your screen

● Ask student to share their screen
● Ask student to open activity 2: Relational and logical operators

Let’s revise what Relational and Logical Student Activity 2:

operators are and solve some questions. Relational and

can apply them to build some things.
