Study Notes

Lesson 7: Conditionals, Loops, and Input

  • The lesson covers conditionals, loops, and the input() function in computer programming.
  • Objectives include defining conditionals and loops, using them, and allowing user input in programs.

IDLE Editor

  • To run a Python program, click File > New File or use Ctrl + N. Then press F5.

PyCharm Editor

  • Create a new Python file: click the project root, then New > Python File, and type the new file name.
  • Run the program: Shift + Alt + F10

Conditional Statements

  • Conditional statements in Python allow choices based on conditions.
  • The program's flow is determined by the outcome of the conditions.
  • Lines of code are executed if particular conditions are met.

Types of Conditional Statements

  • if Statement: Simplest decision-making statement. Executes a block of code if the condition is true; else, it doesn't execute.
    • Python uses indentation to define scope.
  • if-else Statement: Executes one block of code if the condition is true and another block if it is false.
  • Nested if-else Statement: An if-else statement contained within another if-else statement. Allows for more complex conditions.
  • if-elif-else Statement: Tests multiple conditions sequentially. Executes the first true condition's code block and skips the rest. If no condition is true, the else block runs.
  • Ternary Operator/Expression: A more concise way to write simple if-else statements in one line.

Logical Operators

  • and: Both conditions must be True for the result to be True.
  • or: At least one condition must be True for the result to be True.
  • not: Reverses the boolean value of the argument.

Loops

  • Loops allow blocks of code to repeat until a condition is met.
  • They provide a way to avoid writing the same code many times.
  • The advantage if that blocks of code are executed the specific number of times.

while Loop

  • Allows code execution as long as the condition is True.
    • i+=1 is equivalent to i = i +1 .

for Loop

  • Loops over each item in a sequence or collection.

  • Iterating through Collections

    • Iterates through tuples, lists, sets, and dictionaries in Python.

input() Function

  • The input() function displays a prompt and gets user input.
