An example of a loop in python would be:

1. print("this")
2. while x > 0 :
3. if x == 0 :
4. name = input("-->")

A value that is used by the program and can change is known as a...

1. Loop
2. If statement
3. function
4. variable

Which symbol will check is two values are the same in a while condition?

1. !=
2. ==
3. =
4. "="

What symbol do I use to comment code?

Refresh

Time to refresh those skills

Outputs

Used to output messages to the screen

In Python we use print

print ("hello world")

Variables

An area in memory used to store a value the program will use.

The value is likely to change

Here are some examples in Python

name = "Dave"                      - Text 

health = 100                           - Integer

Player_dead = False                  - Boolean  (True/False)

Inputs

We often use variables to store inputs from the user

In Python we use input

input ("Question the user will see as a prompt")

So to store a name we would use:

name = input ("What is your name  ? -->  ")

filmpref = input("What kind of films do you like? ")

Label the correct parts of the code with the symbols.

This the the variable name given to a piece of information

This will allow the user to enter information that will be saved to the variable. 

This is a string, we place a question inside so the user knows which information to enter.

CORRECT

CAUSE AN ERROR

print = ("Hello")

Print("Yes!")

print("this one)

name = imput("what is your name")

name = input("what is your name")

print("this text")

fav colour = "Green"

age = 10

print("Hello", name)

print("Bye",name")

IF/ELIF/ELSE

When we need to make a decision in a program we use a selection statement.

In Python we use if  elif  and  else

Let's look at some coded examples...

Now Try Yourself

create.withcode.uk

In python you must write IF, ELIF and ELSE in capital letters

1. TRUE
2. FALSE

After every if, elif and else statement you put ...

1. ;
2. }
3. :
4. #

an if statement must always have an else component

1. True
2. False

Which of the following if statements would cause an error

1. if name != "Fred":
2. if password == guess:
3. if name = "Bobby":
4. if age >= 18 :
