Question

Laboratory Exercise Understanding Algorithm with Python

Objective:

At the end of the exercise, the students should be able to:

▪ Construct a Python script based on the given algorithms.

Software Requirement:

▪ Python 3.7 or higher

Procedure:

1. Study the following sample Python syntaxes:

Task Sample Syntax Remarks Variable declaration x = 5 No need to indicate the data type. Do not add semi-colon. Comment #This is a comment. User input name = input(“Enter your name”) Convert string to int or float. int(x) float(x) Convert to compare or compute values. Convert int or float to string. str(x) Convert if the output must show a number and a string. Combine conditional statements. x > 5 and x <10 x > 5 or x < 10 not(x < 5) if statement if x == 0: print(“Enter a higher number”) Use four (4) spaces per indentation level. else-if statement elif x == 0: print(“Enter a higher number”) else statement else: print(“Try again”) Create a list of items. my_list = [“red”, “blue”, “green”] Python recommends the use of lists than arrays. Display all items in a list. print(my_list) Create an empty list. my_list = [] Add an item to the end of a list. my_list.append(“yellow”)

2. Open Notepad++.

3. Create a Python script that will compare two (2) numbers entered by the user. Refer to the sample syntaxes and the algorithm below. 3.1. User enters the first number. 3.2. User enters the second number. 3.3. If the first number is less than, greater than, or equal the second number, a message is displayed.

4. Save the script as algo1.py.

5. To test and run the script, open Command Prompt. Navigate to your file’s location then type python algo1.py. IT1815 01 Laboratory Exercise 1 *Property of STI Page 2 of 2

6. Create another Python script that will display the names of your three (3) classmates. Refer to the sample syntaxes and algorithm below. 6.1. User enters the name of the first classmate. 6.2. User enters the name of the second classmate. 6.3. User enters the name of the third classmate. 6.4. The name of the three (3) classmates are displayed.

7. Save the script as algo2.py.

8. Create a folder named LastName_FirstName_MI_LE1 (ex. Reyes_Nika_P_LE1) in your local drive.

9. Move the two (2) scripts to your folder.
