Interaction In the last class, we learnt about Variables and Ask questions,

● Meaning of variables answers.
● Rules of naming variable
● Data types: int, float, String
● Mathematical operations on int and float
Today we will learn about conditionals. Explain the
meaning of

allowed or “executed”
Teacher shares the screen and open Repl.it
Knowledge Similar situations can be represented in Teacher Activity 1:
Transfer programming using the i f statement. Repl.it
Whatever is written after the keyword, i f is the
condition.
We know that the condition here is True, i.e 10
is greater than 9, so the statement under if will
be executed.

Let’s see what happens if we put a F
alse
condition after if
Here, as there is no statement for the computer
to run, there is no output.
If we want the computer to do something
specific if the condition is False, then we have
to use the statement called if else.
Here we have two blocks of code.
The block below if statement is executed
only when the condition is True
The block below the else statement is
executed only when the condition is False.
Until now, we saw two conditional statements Teacher Activity 2:
in Python: Syntax
● If statement
● If else statement
Now, the most important thing in these
statements is the condition.
Did you notice that a condition has only two
values, either True or False.
Like we store numbers in variables, we can
also store these values of conditions in
variables.
These variables have a special name,
Boolean Variable.
So, if we write a=8>1, then the value of a is
True, as the condition is true.

Similarly, if we write b=8<1, then the value of
b is False, as the condition is false.
And the data type of a and b is Boolean.
The direct way to check the data type of any
variable is using the function, type
So, if we write type(a) or type(b) the output is
bool, which stands for boolean variable.
Now, let’s do some activity to check how much
you have learned.
● Stop sharing screen
● Ask the student to share screen
● Click on Student Activity 1: Conditionals
The goal of this activity is to write a program Student Activity 1:
which takes input from the user and check if it Conditionals
is even or odd.
So, the first step is to get a number from the Explain the
user. input function helps us in doing so, but question and
one issue with input function is that it takes guide the student
input in String. to fill in the
blanks.
So to get a number in variable n um, we need to
convert S
tring into i nt. This change of data
type can be done by the function int

Now, we have a valid number in variable num.
Can you tell me when a number is even??
For a number to be even, it must be divisible by
2, i.e. when the number is divided by 2, the
remainder is zero.
Do you remember how to find the remainder??
Yes, the Modulus operator is used to find the
remainder.
So, num%2 will give the remainder.
We want the remainder to be equal to zero.
Do you remember how to compare if two
things are equal?
Yes, using the double equal to operator.
Thus, n
um%2==0 will be true if num is divisible
by 2 and false if num is not divisible by 2.
Great!! You wrote a program to check whether a
number is even or not.
Now, let's learn something more.
● Ask the student to stop sharing the screen
● Share your screen and open teacher activity link 3
So, till now we have learned about two Teacher Activity 3:
conditional statements i f and if else, w
e also Grading System
learned about boolean variables and
relational operators
We also used the input f unction to take values
from the user and then used the int f unction to
convert the input into a number.
Now, let’s learn about one more conditional
statement.

Imagine a situation, which can have more than Click on grading
just one condition, like a grading system. system.png to
open the image
For such a type of condition we have a different
conditional statement which is basically an
extension of i f else statement.
After the else part we add another if else Click on elif.png
condition and so on.
This is called the elif statement
So, first we take the percentage from the user
using the input function.
As percentage can be a decimal number, so we
convert the percentage into float using the float
function.
Now, the first condition according to the table is
that if the percentage is between 80 and 100
then the grade will be A.
Here, 80 and 100 both are included, so the
condition must be p>=80 AND p<=100
This condition actually is composed of two
conditions: p>=80 and p<=100, so to combine
the two we use the logical operator, “and”

● not
and is used when we want both the conditions
to be either true or false
or is used when we want either of the two
conditions to be true or false
not is used just to convert a true condition into
false and vice versa.
● Stop sharing your screen
● Ask student to share their screen
● Ask student to open activity 2: Relational and logical operators
Let’s revise what Relational and Logical Student Activity 2:

can apply them to build some things.
