 Commenting in python

Comments are written in programming languages

to explain, clarify, or collaborate in your code.
In python, the symbol ‘#’ is used to write
comments.

 Lists in python

A list is a linear data structure that contains some

related data
If all the data is of the same type it is called an
array
temp = [35, 15, 45, 28]

List indexing starts from 0

To access second element
 temp[1]

4
 Example

What will be the output of the following

temp = [35, 15, 45, 28]

temp[0] = temp[2] + 6

temp[3] = temp[3] / 4

temp[2] = temp[1] / 3

temp 51 0
15 1
5 2
7 3

 Conditional Statements in
python

In programming languages conditional

statements change the sequential flow of an
algorithm

Sequential Flow Conditional statements

introduce branches

6
 if condition

In algorithm, the general form of the if condition is

as follows:

7
 if condition

 if keyword in python is case-sensitive (cannot write a condition with

capital letters i.e. IF)
 “condition” is boolean expression that evaluates to TRUE or FALSE

 “Statement 1”, “Statement 2” , “Statement 3”….., are part of the

BLOCK that will be executed if the condition is TRUE
 All the statements in the block must be indented with the same
number of spaces (minimum one space required)
 Google colab inserts two spaces by default
 Offline python inserts four spaces by default
8
 Example

What will be the output of the following block of

codes
var= 2
if var < 4: Statement 1
print ('Statement 1') Statement 2
print ('Statement 2')

var= 6
if var < 4:
print ('Statement 1’) Statement 3
print ('Statement 2')
print ('Statement 3')

var= 7
if var < 4: error
print ('Statement 1')
print ('Statement 2')

After if there must be at

least one statement with
indentation

Boolean Expressions

Relational Operators Python Example

representation

Greater than > x>y

Less than < x<y

Equals == x == y

Greater than or equal to >= x >= y

Less than or equal to <= x <= y

Not Equals != x != y

10
 Logical Operators

Boolean expressions output are either TRUE or

FALSE
Logical operators have both inputs and output in
the form of TRUE or FALSE
Logical operators can be used to build more
complicated conditions
A B A and B A or B not A
False False False False True
False True False True True
True False False True False
True True True True False

11
Logical Operators (Example)

x=15
y=20
z=30
print((x>y or y<z))
print((x>y and y<z))
print((x>y or y>z)and(x<z))
print(not(x>y) or y<z)
print(y<x or z!=40)

Expression Value
print((x>y or y<z)) True
print((x>y and y<z)) False
print((x>y or y>z)and(x<z)) False
print(not(x>y) or y<z) True
print(y<x or z!=40) True

12
 Exercise 1

Write a program in python that reads grade and

absence of a student. If the absence is greater
than zero, the script must subtract the absence
from the grade. Then, the updated grade should
be displayed.

13
Exercise 1

grade=int(input('Enter grade:'))
abs=int(input('Enter number of absences:'))
if abs > 0:
grade=grade-abs
print('The updated grade is:',grade)
14
 if-else condition

In algorithm, the general form of the if-else

condition is as follows:

15
 Exercise 2

Write a python program that reads a student's

grade. If the grade is greater than or equal to
sixty, the program displays the message “PASS”.
Otherwise, it displays the message “FAIL”.

16
Exercise 2

grade=int(input('Enter your grade:'))

if grade >= 60:
print('Pass')
else:
print('Fail')

17
 Exercise 3

Write a program that asks for an integer number

and finds out if the number is even or odd. The
program should print a message saying the
number is Even or Odd

18
Exercise 3

number=int(input('Enter a number:'))
if number % 2 == 0:
print('The number’,number,’is even')
else:
print('The number’,number,’is odd')

19
 Nested if-else (Exercise 4)

Write a program that asks to enter three numbers

and prints the maximum of them.
x=int(input('Enter x'))
y=int(input('Enter y'))
z=int(input('Enter z')) Start
if x>y:
if x>z:
print('maximum=',x) Input x, y, x
else:
False True
x>y

False True False True

y>z x>z

maximum = z maximum = y maximum = z maximum = x

20
 elif condition

To avoid indentation errors of nested if-else

python introduces the elif construct

21
 Exercise 5

Use a nested if-else construct to write a program

that reads a student’s GPA out of 4.0. The script
should display a message according to the
following conditions:
Condition Message
GPA<0 or GPA>4.0 OUT OF RANGE
GPA >= 3.5 EXCELLENT
3.5 > GPA >= 3.0 VERY GOOD
3.0 > GPA >= 2.5 GOOD
2.5 > GPA >= 2.0 FAIR
GPA < 2.0 POOR

22
 Exercise 5

Solution
GPA=float(input('Enter GPA:'))
if GPA >4 or GPA <0:
print('Out of Range')
elif GPA >=3.5:
print('Excellent')
elif GPA >=3.0:
print('Very Good')
elif GPA >=2.5:
print('Good')
elif GPA >=2.0:
print('Fair')
else:
print('Poor')

23
 Exercise 6

Write a program in python that calculates the

shipping cost of a package based on the weight
(w) and destination (d).
Destination Weight in KG Cost (SAR)
w<1 30
UAE 1 <= w < 3 50
w >=3 100
w<1 20
Bahrain 1 <= w < 3 30
w >=3 80
w<1 10
Saudi Arabia 1 <= w < 3 20
w >=3 50

24
 Exercise 6

Complete the following program

w=float(input('Enter weight:'))
d=input('Enter destination')
if d == 'UAE':
if w < 1:
print('cost 30')
elif w < 3:
print('cost 50')
else:
print('cost 100')
elif d == 'Bahrain':
