Questions and Answers
What does the term 'Conditional' refer to?
The Boolean expression in an if-structure that is evaluated to determine which branch of code to execute.
What are 'Compound Conditionals'?
A conditional with one or more logical operators used to incorporate several logical expressions.
What is the function of the Assignment Operator?
The '=' character causes the compiler or interpreter to evaluate to the expression on its right and store the result in the variable(s) on its left.

Study Notes
Conditional Statements
- A conditional is a Boolean expression used in if-structures to determine which code branch to execute.
Compound Conditionals
- Compound conditionals incorporate multiple logical expressions using logical operators.
Assignment Operator
- The '=' operator evaluates the right-side expression and assigns the result to the variable(s) on the left.
Multiple Assignment
- Python allows simultaneous assignment of values to multiple variables, useful for capturing multiple return values from functions.
HTML Elements
- An element in an HTML document is denoted by tags; for example, "Hello" is a paragraph element wrapped in
<p>
tags.
Iterables
- An iterable is a collection property that provides elements sequentially, one at a time.
Glass Box Testing
- This testing method evaluates a software's correctness by examining its underlying algorithmic structure.
Test Suite
- A test suite comprises a collection of tests aimed at assessing the correctness or effectiveness of another software program.
Test-Driven Design
- This development approach involves first creating a test suite, with subsequent code written to meet the requirements outlined in the tests, as practiced in Extreme Programming.
Flow Charts
- Flow charts visually represent procedural pathways within a program, aiding in understanding program flow.
User Input
-
raw_input()
is a function that captures input from the user through a prompt.
Exception Handling
- A "catch" refers to an exception that is handled by specific code rather than propagating it up to parent programs; if uncaught, the operating system addresses it.
Type Casting
- The process of type casting allows data conversion from one type to another, such as string to integer, which may lead to information loss.
Null String
- A null string is defined as a string that has no characters within it.
