Study Notes
Branching - Week 4, Lecture 1
- Topics covered in the lecture include Recap, Recap Questions, Recap Questions - cont'd, Learning Outcomes, Introduction, Outline, Comparison Operators, A closer look at comparison operators, Recap on logical operators, A closer look at logical operators, A closer look at logical operators, The need for branching, The If Statement, Writing an if statement in Python, Example 1, Exercise, Example 2, else, Another else example, elif, elif example, Summary of if-elif-else, Multiple conditions, Multiple conditions - continued, Exercise, Exercise - solution, Short if, Short if else, Problem, Nested if else, Consequences.
- Review of logical operators (
and,or,not), and comparison operators (==,!=,<,>,<=,>=) is essential for conditional statements. - The
if,elif, andelsestatements are fundamental for conditional execution. - Python allows
ifstatements to be written concisely when there are noeliforelseclauses. -
elifstatements allow the execution of different blocks of code based on multiple conditions. - Nesting
ifstatements within each other allows for more complex conditional logic. - The Python
input()function converts user input to a string, which needs to be cast to the appropriate data type if needed (e.g.,intif integer input is expected). - Handling floating-point arithmetic has specific considerations because of potential rounding errors. Using a small margin to avoid these errors is crucial for accurate comparison.
- An example to demonstrate branching logic, involving determining whether a grade is passing or failing is included.
- A possible exercise of writing a program to check if a number is even is provided.
- Several examples illustrate the practical application of these conditional statements.
