Review time...

Let's remember the concepts we have seen so far in Python...

Variables

They are like boxes to store information in the computer. If your computer needs to remember something, you need a variable.
They ALWAYS need a name!

​

How do you create a variable?

​my_age = 42

You put the variable's name, followed by an equal symbol and the information you want to store.

What if I don't know the info?

​Ask for it! with the input() function...

You need to put the question you want to ask between the parenthesis. Remeber to use quotes (").

​

input("What is your age?")

Question time...

Is there a relation between the input function and variables in Python?

Conditionals

Conditionals are used to make decisions, or do different things, based on the result of a CONDITION (True or False).
Therefore, the condition is ALWAYS a comparison.

How do you create a conditional?

Logical Operator

Logical Operators are used to join or merge two or more conditions, making one new condition that can either be True or False.

Activity

You are a farmer and you have a field of crops. You want to water your crops, but you don't want to waste water. You know that the crops need water if the soil is dry, but also when the weather is hot. Write a program that tells you if you have to water your plants.

You are a forest ranger and you are monitoring the forest for wildfires. You know that a wildfire can start if the temperature is high and the humidity is low. Write a program that sends and alert if the likelihood of a wildfire is high.

​Criteria 7 and 8. Requisite to 9 and 10.

Question time...

Is there a relation between the input function and variables in Python?
