what are some different types of variables? - answer Integers, Floating-Point, Strings,
Booleans
what is an integer? - answer whole numbers, no decimals/fractions
what are floating-point numbers? - answer numbers with a decimal point
what is Boolean? - answer single value either true or false
what are strings? - answer way of describing text (you can use either single quotes or
double quotes)
float(3) - answer value becomes 3.0
int(4.9) - answer has the value 4
str(10*1.0) - answer has the value '10.0'
what is the Boolean value of true/false? - answer true is assumed to have the value 1
false is assumed to have the value 0
x=3
y=4
print(str(x) + ':' + str(y)) - answer3:4
how to ask the user for input? – answer x = float(input())
== - answer equal to
!= - answer inequality
a = 10
b = 10
, c = 20
d = ((a>b) and (b<=c)) or (not((((c<=a+b) and (a==10)) or ((b==10) and c!=10))))
print(d) - answerfalse
temperature = 100
is_hot = (temperature > 85)
if is_hot:
print("It's hot")
if not is_hot:
print("It's not hot") - answerIt's hot
when to use if-elif-else statements? - answerwhen you have multiple "cases" of the
same type
when to use nested statements? - answerwhen there is a clear "order" of checks:
checking A then B
what is the "while" statement? - answercreates a loop and will repeat a set of
instructions infinitely until the condition is false.
while <condition>:
<things to do>
a=0
while a == 0:
print("About to change a")
a=1
print("Changing a back to 0")
a = 0 - answerAbout to change a
Changing a back to 0
About to change a
Changing a back to 0
... (an infinite loop)
what is the for loop designed to do? - answerto perform specific statements for a
determined number of iterations
sum = 0
for i in range(10):
sum += i+1
print(sum) - answer55
what are nesting loops? - answerthat is when you nest one loop inside another
for i in range(3):
print("i is", i)
for j in range(3):
