v How to write a program code in
Python
Python
Convert the Algorithm to Program
Write an algorithm to print the user’s name
1. Print “Name: ”
2. Get the input and assign the value to the variable userName
3. Print userName
Python
Exercise
Write a program to display ‘Hello, the name input by the user’
[Run Example]
Sonny
Hello Sonny
Python
Example
Write a program to print the double of a value input by the user
Python
Input() stores everything as text
The value input by the user is stored as text
The operators +, * work differently for text
>>> '1'+'1'
'11'
>>> '1'*10
'1111111111'
Python
Converting text to number
To convert text into a number, use int() and float()
int(text) converts a text to an integer
float(text) converts a text to a float
>>> int('1')
1
>>> float('1.1')
1.1
>>> float('1')
1.0
Python
Exercise
Write a program to print the triple of a value input by the user
[Run Example]
Input: 3
Output: 9
Python
Exercise
Write a program to print the addition and multiplication of two
values input by the user
[Run Example]
Input 1: 2
Input 2: 5
Output: 7 10
Python
Exercise
Write a program that prints the distance a car travels when the
speed of a car in km/hour and the hours it travels are given as
input
[Run Example]
Speed in km/hour: 60
Time in hours: 5
Distance: 300
Python
Exercise
Write a program that gets a number in minutes and prints it
converting to hour and minutes

Python
Your turn
Write a program that gets a number in months and converts to
years and months
[Run Example]
Number in months: 100
8 years 4 months
Python
Exercise
Write a program that gets a price of an item and print the value
after a 30% reduction
[Run Example]
Item price: 50
35
Python
Exercise

final price when the tax rate is 8%
[Run Example]
Item price: 50
Final price: 54
Python
Exercise
Write a program that gets the price of an item and the tax rate, and
computes the final price
[Run Example]
Item price: 50
Tax rate: 20
Final price: 60
Python
Exercise
Write a program that converts a percentage to a decimal
[Run Example]
Percentage: 120
Decimal: 1.2
Python
Exercise
Write a Python program to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) of an individual.
BMI is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula for
BMI is: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))^2
[Run Example]
Weight: 70 kg
Height: 1.75 m
Your BMI is 22.86
