Intro to Python programming

Lesson 6
Putting it all together
Starter activity
Guess my lucky number: multiple attempts
lucky = 13 1. Pick a lucky number .
print("Can you guess my lucky number?") 2. Ask the user to guess .
guess = int(input())
if guess == lucky: 3. Display feedback to the user .
print("Amazing, you guessed it")
else:
print("Sorry, it’s not", guess)
print("Nice playing with you") 4. Say goodbye .
Which of these program segments will need to be repeated if the user
is allowed multiple guesses?

Outcomes
In this lesson, you will...
● Use three control structures (sequence, selection, and iteration) to build a more
complex program
● Use Boolean variables, operators, and expressions
● Take a quiz, to assess what you have learnt
Activity 1
Lucky number revisited
Use pair programming .
Driver
Control the keyboard and mouse.
Navigator
Provide support and instructions.
Alternate between roles.

Activity 1
Guess my lucky number: run your program
lucky = 13 Faced with an error? Here are some things
that you will need to check:
guessed = False ◻ Is the F in False capitalised?
while guessed == False:
↺
◻ Does the condition use == to check if
print("Can you guess my lucky number?") the value of guessed is False?
guess = int(input()) ◻ Have you remembered the colon : after
the condition in while?
if guess == lucky: ◻ Have you used indentation, to
print("Amazing, you guessed it") indicate which statements belong to
else: the while block?
print("Sorry, it’s not", guess)
Tip: Press the ‘Stop’ button or try Control+C
print("Nice playing with you")
to terminate your program.
Activity 2
Lucky number revisited
Start from your current program.
Complete the tasks in your worksheet to
build a more complete ‘Guess the number’
game.
Activity 2
Logical operators in Python
You can use these operators to combine Examples
logical expressions.
not negation not a == 1
and conjunction b > 10 and c <= d
or disjunction e == 10 or f != 1
Expressions formed using these operators
evaluate to either True or False.
Assessment
Summative assessment
Exam Conditions
You are under exam conditions:
- Keep silent
- Keep your eyes on your own paper/ computer
- Do not distract
- Sit still and do not turn around
Failure to comply with these rules will result in:
- Disqualification - your paper will be cancelled
- Parents contacted

Summary
Unit takeaways
On a sticky note, write:
One thing that impressed you
One thing that you learnt
(and that you’ll remember)
And one thing that you didn’t really enjoy
Summary
In this lesson, you...
Used three control structures (sequence, selection, and iteration) to build a more
complex program
Used Boolean variables, operators, and expressions
Took a quiz, to assess what you have learnt
Summary
In this unit, you...
Explored what basic programming structures look like in Python
Built your first Python programs
