PYTHON NOTES – GRADE 9 (CAMBRIDGE)
1. Basic Output
The print() function displays text or results on the screen.
Example:
print("Hello World")
print(5 + 3)
2. Input from the User
The input() function takes text from the keyboard. It stores the input as a string unless converted.
Example:
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello", name)
3. Variables
Variables store data values.
age = 15
score = 88.5
name = "Jivika"
4. Type Casting (Changing Data Types)
Used to convert input to numbers when needed.
age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
height = float(input("Enter your height: "))
5. Math Operators
Operator Meaning
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division (float)
% Remainder
// Floor divide
** Exponent / Power
Example:
print(5 ** 2) # 25
print(10 % 3) # 1
print(7 // 2) # 3
5.1 Comparison Operators
Operator Meaning Example Result
== Equal to 5 == 5 True
!= Not equal to 5 != 3 True
> Greater than 7>4 True
< Less than 2<9 True
>= Greater or equal 8 >= 8 True
<= Less or equal 3 <= 5 True
Example in IF:
if age >= 18:
print("Adult")
else:
print("Not Adult")
6. Selection (IF Statements)
Used for decision making.
IF Example:
if score > 50:
print('Pass')
IF–ELSE Example:
if score >= 50:
print('Pass')
else:
print('Fail')
IF–ELIF–ELSE Example:
if marks >= 90:
print('A')
elif marks >= 70:
print('B')
else:
print('C')
7. Logical Operators
Operator Meaning
and Both conditions true
or At least one condition true
not Reverses the condition
Example:
if age > 12 and age < 20:
print('Teenager')
8. Loops
FOR Loop: Used when number of repetitions is known.
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Output:
0
1
2
3
4
WHILE Loop:
x=1
while x <= 3:
print(x)
x=x+1
Output:
1
2
3
9. Lists
Lists store multiple values.
Creating a List:
fruits = ['apple','banana','mango']
Output:
['apple','banana','mango']
Accessing Items:
fruits[0] → apple
fruits[1] → banana
Adding Items:
[Link]('orange')
Output:
['apple','banana','mango','orange']
Removing Items:
[Link]('banana')
Output:
['apple','mango','orange']
Looping Through a List:
for item in fruits:
print(item)
Output:
apple
mango
orange
Length of a List:
len(fruits)
Output: 3
