WHAT DO YOU
EXPECT FROM THIS
SESSION?
AGENDA
• Main structure of Python program.
• Variables.
• If condition
• Looping.
MAIN STRUCTURE OF PROGRAM
VARIABLE DEFINITION
VARIABLE NAMES RULES
• Must start with a letter or underscore
• Cannot start with a number
• Can contain letters, numbers, underscore
• Case-sensitive (Age ≠ age)
VARIABLE CHARACTERISTICS
• Can change variable type.
• Global variables and local variables.
• Variable shadowing.
IF
score = 75
if score >= 90:
print("Excellent")
elif score >= 70:
print("Good")
else:
print("Needs improvement")
IF EXAMPLE
x = 10
if x > 5:
pass # placeholder for future code
else:
print("x is 5 or less")
NESTED IF
x = 10
y=5
if x > 0:
if y > 0:
print("Both numbers are positive")
LOOPING
• For
• While
LOOP CONTROLLING
• break
• Continue
• pass
FOR LOOP EXAMPLES
• for i in range(5):
print(i)

• for name in ["Ali", "Omar", "Sara"]:


print(name)
FOR LOOP EXAMPLES (CONT.)
for i in range(10): for i in range(5):
if i == 3: if i == 2:
break continue
print(i) print(i)
WHILE LOOP EXAMPLE
x=1
while x <= 5:
print(x)
x += 1
TRY, EXCEPT
try:

num1 = int(input("Enter numerator: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter denominator: "))

result = num1 / num2 # risky operation

except ZeroDivisionError:

print("Error: Cannot divide by zero!") # handles division by zero

except ValueError:

print("Error: Invalid input! Please enter numbers.") # handles non-integer input

else:

print(f"Result is: {result}") # runs only if no exception occurred

finally:

print("Operation completed.") # always runs


WHILE LOOP EXAMPLE
x=1
while x <= 5:
print(x)
x += 1
USEFUL OPERATORS
• Arithmetic: + - * / % ** //
• Comparison: == != > < >= <=
• Logical: and, or, not
• Membership: in, not in
