 Print function
Whenever you want to display something on the screen,
you must use the print command. You must ALWAYS
open and close the PARANTHESIS.
 Syntax error
Syntax: The order of instructions or commands.
Syntax Error: When you break the rules of the
programming language.
Examples:

• Print(“Welcome Tom”)

• print(“Football”

• print(Dancing)
 Print function

2- Press F5 to run the program.

3- Create a program that displays your name, your
country and date of birth on the screen on separate
lines. Hint: Use 3 print commands.
 Variables & Constants
Variable: A location in a Constant: A location in a
memory where data is memory where data is
stored. It can be changed stored. It cannot be
while the program is changed while the program
running. is running.
 Variables & Constants

Data types
Lesson objectives…
 Compare different data types.
 Create a program using variables and input command.
 Consolidate understanding of inputs, data types and
variables.
 Data types
Lesson theory video:

https://youtu.be/ka3nBNi-j9M
 Knowledge phase

Data type: A description about the type of data a variable

holds.
Why do we use data types?
The system will need to know the data type of the
variable so that it can allocate the correct size of memory
for the variable's data.

The computer will be unable to carry out the correct

calculations on the variables unless it knows what type of
data they contain.
 Integer
An integer is a whole number.

Examples:

age = 14 number = -4

score = 75 applenumber = 3

siblings = 5
 Real/Float
Real numbers can have a decimal place.

Examples:

Temperature = 18.5 Price = 1.84

weight = 7.5 Number= -4.65

 Character
Holds a single alphanumeric character.

Examples:

Symbol = % Grade = C

Gender = M Initial = B
 Boolean
Holds either TRUE or FALSE

Examples:

Denied = True Access= False

Repeat = True Underweight = False

 String
Holds alphanumeric characters.

Any number that starts/can start with a 0 is a

STRING. Not an INTEGER.
Examples:

Name = Brad Team = Aston Villa

Phone = 07499999222 Pin = 0415

Consolidate understanding of data type

Copy the following codetask
Python in python then click
run and put any number in.

You can see that the answer is incorrect.

This is because python assumes any input is a
string.
 Python task
Now copy this:

Now you will get the correct answer.

This is because we set the data type of
number to an INTEGER.
 Casting
Casting: Changing a variable from one data
type to another.

Example:

age=int(input(“How old are you?”))

age = str(age)

Above line will CAST age from integer to string.

 Knowledge phase

Boolean operators can be used to make

selection statements more efficient and
versatile. We use AND, OR & NOT.

It’s important to use brackets in long

Boolean expressions.

Order: Brackets, NOT, AND then OR.

 AND OPERATOR

The AND operator will output True if both

Boolean expression True/False Reason
sides are true, otherwise it will be False.
For example:
5 > 2 AND 8 < 12 True Both sides are True.

11 > 5 AND 7 == 3 False Right side is False, so

overall statement
will be False
 OR OPERATOR

The OR operator will output True if either or

both
Boolean sides are
expression true, otherwise
True/False it will be
Reason
False.
10 == 10 OR 7 < 12 For example: Both sides are True.
True
11 > 5 OR 5 == 3 True Left side is True, so
overall statement
will be True
10 == 5 OR 11> 20 False Both sides are False
 NOT OPERATOR

The NOT operator reverses the statement, if

it’s
Boolean
True it become False,
True/False
if it’s False
Reason
it
expression becomes True.
NOT (20== 20)
For
False
example: 20== 20 is True, so
reverse of true is False
NOT (10 < 5) True 10 < 5 is False, so reverse
of False is True

NOT (25> 20) False 25 > 20 is True, so reverse

of true is False
 If statement

Boolean expression True/False

11 > 5 AND 7 == 3 False
NOT(13 == 2) True
11 <= 2 OR 8 != 5 True
NOT(12 > 2 AND 5 < 1) True
 If statement
n = int(input("Enter a number"))
if n == 2 or n == 3:
print("Correct")
else:
print("Incorrect")
What will this program display if the user enters
10 as the number? Incorrect

String Manipulation
Lesson objectives…
 Be able to manipulate strings.
 Apply string manipulations to
different python tasks.
Understand the purpose of substrings
and length checks.
 Video
Lesson theory video: https://youtu.be/gEJMBkArksg
 String manipulation - Concatenation
Concatenation means ‘joining’.

The ‘+’ sign joins together two or more string (without a

space).

firstname = input("Enter your firstname")

surname = input("Enter your surname")
print(firstname+surname)
 String manipulation - Concatenation
As you saw on the previous slide the “+” joined two strings
together, however it did not add any space to it. If we wanted
to join things together with a space, we use comma “,”

firstname = input("Enter your firstname")

surname = input("Enter your surname")
print(firstname, surname)
 Why not just use a comma all the time?

firstname = input("Enter your firstname")

surname = input(firstname, " Enter your surname")

The above code will give you an error, because you can’t add a
comma when storing a value in a variable because it will
count it as an argument. However you can concatenate using
“+” sign.
 Correct way:

firstname = input("Enter your firstname")

surname = input("hey " +firstname+" Enter your surname")
 String manipulation - Length

This example program asks the user to input a

name. It then finds the length of the string and
stores it in the nameLength variable. The length of
the string is displayed.
 String manipulation - Length
len() is a python function that finds the length
of a string.
Example 1:
name = "hello"
print( len (name) )
The above program will diplay the number 5. Because
that’s how many characters is in the string "hello"
 String manipulation - Length
len() is a python function that finds the length
of a string.
Example 2:
name = input("Enter a name")
print( len (name) )
The above program will diplay the number 4 if the user
types Jeff as the name.

Iteration: While loop

Lesson objectives…
Explain the difference between count
controlled and condition controlled loop.
Solve real life problems using a while loop.
Define the meaning of iteration
 Knowledge phase

Theory:
https://youtu.be/gn6RIuipDBw
 Knowledge phase

Iteration: The repetition of a process/

section of code.
 Count controlled iteration – For loop
An example of a count controlled loop is: For loops
A for loop is count controlled because you know the exact
number of iteration that will occur.
Example:

The code will repeat 10 times.

 Condition controlled iteration – While loop
An example of a condition controlled loop is: While loop
A while loop is condition controlled because it will loop
until a condition is met.
Example:

Colon
Condition

Indented which means

It is inside the loop
 Structure of a while loop
In a while loop, the process will repeat if the condition is
True.
 Condition controlled iteration – While loop
The code below will repeat until the user enters “Suffar”
when asked for a name. Then it will display “You are
correct” once.

Note: Indentation indicates that the block of code is

INSIDE the while loop.
 Condition controlled iteration – While loop
To set a counter, you need to create a variable, then add
to that variable whenever you loop. Example below:

This line
increment
total by 1.
 Condition controlled iteration – While loop
A counter is important because it can be used in different
ways with a while loop. The program below will ask for a
number and add it to a total until the total is above 100.
Example below:

Adds the number

entered by the user to
a total.
 Condition controlled iteration – While loop
You can set variables to either True or False to start a
loop. Example below:

Breaks the
while loop.

Arrays
Lesson objectives…
Describe the purpose of an array.
Create a program using arrays.
Explain the difference between arrays and
records.
Theory:
https://youtu.be/ZfQ5XM7i7gk
 Arrays
Variable: Location in memory that stores a value which
can be changed. A variable can only store 1 Value.

Array: A data structure that stores MULTIPLE data under

one identifier. All of the data in the array MUST be of the
same data type.
Array name

names
0 1 2 3 Index number
(Starts from 0)
Tom Sam Ron Chi

Contents of the array (Data type string)

 Arrays
Advantages of using array?

• Allows multiple items of data to be

stored under 1 identifier.

• Reduce the need for multiple

variables.
 Records
Records: A data structure that stores multiple data. Data
can be of MULTIPLE data types.

Name Price

Biscuit 2.5
Crisps 1.5

This table can be stored in a record, however it can’t

be stored in an array as it contains multiple data
types
 Arrays & Variables

Solve real life problems using lists.
Use iteration to loop through a list.
Theory:
https://youtu.be/in2-sWY2eHg
 Arrays
Arrays is a data structure which can store multiple values,
however all of the data must be of the same data type.

Arrays are static data structures meaning it can not

GROW or SHRINK.
 Arrays & Lists
• A list is also a data structure that stores multiple
values, under 1 identifier.

• However the data can be of DIFFERENT data types.

• A list can grow and shrink.

• The way you create a list in python is exactly the same

as an Array using [ ]

However if it grows or shrinks while the program is

running, it means it’s a list.
 Lists
Append means adding something to the end.
#Creates an empty list/array called numbers.
numbers = [ ]
#Loops 4 times.
for x in range(4):
#Ask the user for a number
num = int(input("Enter a number"))
#Adds the number to the end of the list.

File Handling
Lesson objectives…
Explain the purpose of text files.
Write to a text file in python.
Use a For loop to write multiple data to a
text file.
Theory: https://youtu.be/PVLqrEVOlQM
 Text files
Text files can be used to save data in a text file
such as score, username and passwords.

Advantages of storing data on a text file:

• Can be accessed again even after you close the
program.
• Data from the text file can also be used for
other programs.

File Handling
Lesson objectives…
Demonstrate appending to a text file.
Demonstrate reading from a text file.
Demonstrate Looping through a text file.
Theory:
https://youtu.be/WJXjdaEE2bg
 Appending to a text file
When you open a file in write mode, it will either
create a new file for you or overwrite an existing
file with the same name.

If you want to open an existing file but don’t want

to overwrite the contents that is already inside it,
you need to open it in APPEND MODE.

This will allow you to add data to the end of the

file rather than overwrite existing content.
 Appending to a file

 Homework
Watch the video: https://youtu.be/GI-aBknEQ-8
 Revisit phase
1- Describe the differences between local and global
variables
• Local variables are declared in subroutines.
• Global variables are used throughout the entire
program.

2- Explain why it is better to use local variables?

• Local variables are used when they are not needed
throughout the entire program.
• It uses memory only when needed.
• It is harder to find errors in global as they can be
accessed throughout the entire program.

Validation, authentication & verification

Lesson objectives…
Explain the purpose of authentication &
verification.
Explain the purpose and types of input
validation.
Demonstrate coding programs with input
validation.
 Theory
Watch the video: https://youtu.be/GI-aBknEQ-8
 Authentication
Authentication: Used to confirm the identity of a user
before they can access a program.

Example: Checking both the username and password are

correct.
 Verification
Verification: Used to double-check that the data has
been typed in correctly.

Example: Double entry of password.

 Validation
Validation: Checking data entered meets certain criteria.

Reasons:
• Reduce errors.
• Stop programs from crashing.

Types of validation:
1. Range check
2. Length check
3. Presence check
4. Type check
 Validation – Range check
Range check: Checks if the data is within certain
range.

Example: Number between 1 and 100

 Validation – Length check
Length check: Checks the length of the string is
valid (acceptable).

Example: Password with at least 8 characters.

 Validation – Presence check
Presence check: Checks that data has actually
been entered.

Example: Checks if the username has been

entered.
 Validation – Type check
Type check: Checks that the data entered is of
valid (acceptable) data type.

Example: Integer (whole number) when asked

about age.
 Tasks
Complete task 221- 227

lessons.
221. Range check validation program:
A football stadium makes discounts for group tickets. Carmen wants to purchase a group ticket.
Minimum number of tickets must be 5 and a maximum of 20 for a group ticket.
Create a program that:
• Asks the user to enter number of tickets.
• Validates that the number entered is between 5 and 20. If not repeat the question until a valid
number is entered.
• When a valid number is entered, display “See you soon!”
Paste your code below:

222. Length check validation program:
A website require users to have usernames between 8 and 15 characters.
Create a program that:
• Asks the user to enter a username.
• Repeatedly ask the user to enter a username until the user enters a username with the correct
number of characters. (between 8 and 15)
• When a valid number is entered, display “Username accepted”
Paste your code below:

223. Presence check validation program:
A website require users to enter a name when making an order. The website owner wants an algorithm
that checks if the user has entered something when asked for a name.
Create a program that:
• Asks the user to enter a name.
• Checks if the user has entered something, if they haven't, then repeat the same question again until
they enter a name.
• When the user enters a name, display “Order received”.

 try / except
This is a very powerful piece of Python code – it basically tells
Python not to crash, but to run a different block of code if it
comes across an error.
This is how it works :

try:
code goes here
more code here
except :
if the above code crashes then
this code will be run instead
224. Type check validation program:
Create a program that:
• Asks the user for the number of goals scored in a match.
• If the user enters a letter or a symbol or a decimal number, display “You must enter a
whole number” and repeat the question.
• When the user enters a whole number, display “Score accepted”.
• Use the code below of a similar example to help you:
Paste your code below:

https://youtu.be/gevM8G_W-g8
225. Verification program:
Create a program that:
• Asks the user to enter a username and store it in a variable called “username1”
• Asks the user to enter the user again and store it in a variable called “username2”
• If both usernames are the same, display “username accepted”. Otherwise repeat the
process above until both usernames are the same.
Paste your code below:

https://youtu.be/SknkeMlsczo
226. Authentication program:
Create a program that:
• Asks the user for a name and age.
• If the name entered is “Sam” and age entered is “15”, display “Verified”. Otherwise
repeatedly the user to enter a name and age until they enter the correct details for both
the name and age.

ord() is a function that returns the ascii code for
the character.
Example: ASCII code for ‘A’ is 65, ‘a’ is 97, etc.
Example: ord("a") is 97

chr() is the opposite of ord()

chr() is a function - it gives the corresponding
character for given ASCII code. For example, to find
the letter of the ASCII code 97 we write:
chr(97) is ‘a’
229. Create a program that displays the ascii code for the letter “C” and then displays the
character for the ascii code 98.
Paste your code below:
