    This document discusses selection statements in Python programs using if, else, and elif. It provides examples of using comparison operators and if statements to check conditions and execute different code blocks based on the evaluation. It also introduces the elif statement to allow for additional options beyond a simple if/else.

    programs
    Introduction to Python
    Learning objectives
    • Use selection statements if, else and elif in a
    program
    • Learn how to use different comparison operators
    • Use indentation correctly to define a block of code

    What exactly does this program


    do?
    #Password Checker
    print("Welcome to PGO Security Systems")
    print("*******************************")
    password = input("Enter your password: ")
    if password == "abcd1234":
    print("Access Granted")
    else:
    print("Access Denied")
    print("Press ENTER to exit the program")

    Indentation!
    • Python requires indentation as part of the syntax
    • Indentation signifies the start and end of a block of
    code
    • Programs will not run without correct indentation
    if password == "abcd1234":
    print("Access Granted")
    else:
    print("Access Denied")

    print("Press ENTER to exit the program")

    Using an IF statement
    • An IF Statement uses Selection
    • IF forces a decision
    • If condition Then do this Else do that

    If nobody saw me do it Then


    might get away with it
    Else
    busted

    Comparison operators

    Operator Meaning Example Evaluates to

    == equal to 7==7 True

    != not equal to 6!=7 True

    > Greater than 7>6 True

    < Less than 5<8 True

    >= Greater than or equal to 6>=8 False

    <= Less than or equal to 7<=7 True

    Who uses IF statements?


    • Thinking of a mobile
    phone, for example,
    where might an IF
    Statement appear in
    its coding?
    Introduction to Python
    Selection

    Write a program
    • Write a simple program that might be used inside a
    police speed camera
    The Requirements are:
    – It must accept the driver’s
    speed
    – IF the speed is over 70mph, a
    message “Issue Fine” should
    appear on the speed gun
    – Otherwise it should display
    “No Action”

    The ELIF statement


    • If gives you two
    options if grade >= 80:
    • ELIF stands for print("Distinction")
    Else, If and gives elif grade >= 70:
    you more options print("Merit")
    • You can use it as elif grade >= 60:
    many times as you print("Pass")
    like else:
    print("Fail")
    Introduction to Python
    Selection

    Using the ELIF statement


    • Add an ELIF
    statement to the
    Speeding program
    • Issue a warning
    between 70 and
    75mph
    • Only issue a fine for
    75mph and over
