A variable is used to store data temporarily.

float → Decimal → y = 3.14
str → String → name = "Ahmet"

3. What do these operators mean? (==, !=, >)

Answer:
== → equal to
!= → not equal to
> → greater than

4. Explain the if-else structure with an example.

Answer:
number = 10
if number > 0:
print("Positive")

5. What does this code print?

Answer:
Odd
x = 7
if x % 2 == 0:
print("Even")

print("Odd")

6. What is a for loop? Write code from 1 to 5.

Answer:
for i in range(1, 6):
print(i)

7. Write a while loop from 1 to 5.

Answer:
i = 1
while i <= 5:
print(i)
i += 1

8. What does break do?

Answer:
Stops the loop.
while True:
if x == 0:
break

9. What does continue do?

Answer:
Skips one iteration.
for i in range(1, 6):

print(i)

10. Program: Stop when negative age is entered.

Answer:
while True:
age = int(input("Enter age: "))
if age < 0:
break
11. Program: Average of 5 numbers.

Answer:
total = 0

for i in range(5):
num = int(input("Enter number: "))
total += num

print("Average:", total / 5)

12. Sum of even numbers (1–100).
