Creating Python Variables using Replit software

Resources created by Andy Colley (@MrAColley)
Learning Goals/Objectives
Be able to read, comprehend, trace, adapt and create
Python code that:
• Performs simple maths (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division and integer division) using fixed numbers
• Performs simple maths using numbers stored in variables
• Converts strings to integers
• Gets number input and uses it in calculations

Maths - Operators
2 + 2

Maths - Operators
+ addition
- subtraction
* multiplication
/ division (with decimal)
// division (integer result)

Input
Data is collected and sent to the
computer
Process
Carrying out instructions.
Output
Presenting the results of
processing back to the user
Storage
Saving data that is not in use.

Programming – Operators - Predict & Run

Maths With Variables
num1 = 5
num2 = 10
result = num1 + num2
print(result)
Assign numbers
to your variables.
Perform the calculation.
Assign the result to a NEW
VARIABLE.
Don’t forget to
output the result

Variables - vary - changing data
favColour
“blue”

Programming – Variable Maths – Modify & Make
score = 0
print(score)
score = 10
print(score)

Changing Variables With Maths
score = 0
print(score)
score = 10
print(score)
score = 0
print(score)
score = score + 1
print(score)
score = 0
print(score)
score += 1
print(score)
lives -= 1

Programming – Input & Variables - Integers
Input works with strings. Strings are text.
Computers can’t do maths/logic with text. They have to use
numbers.
Whole numbers are called integers (ints for short).
We have to write code to convert our string input to an int
before we can do maths with it.

num1 = int(input("Enter a number"))
Tells the computer
to convert to an
integer.
Tells the computer
to convert to an
integer.
BRACKETS!
Because syntax!

print(str(num1)
Tells the computer
to convert an
integer variable to a
string

Task 5 - Homework Challenge - Area
Calc
Create a program that allows the user to enter 2 numbers representing
the width and length of a rectangle. The program calculates and
displays the area of the rectangle.

Extra Credit Challenges
Perimeter Calc
Create a program that allows the user to enter 2 numbers representing the width and
length of a rectangle. The program calculates and displays the perimeter of the
rectangle.
Restaurant Tip Calculator
Create a program that allows the user to enter the price of a meal at a restaurant. The
program calculates the amount of the tip to be paid at 20%. The tip and total price are
then displayed separately.
Volume and Surface Calc
Create a program that allows the user to enter 3 numbers representing the height, width
and length of a cuboid. The program calculates and displays the volume and total
surface area of the cuboid.
