Python Programming January 2018 Lesson 1 of 10
Do Now in Pairs What does this code do? Show what will happen when you run the code here
Lesson objectives In this lesson you will be: Writing simple Python programs Reading in input from the keyboard Writing print statements that include a variable You should be able to understand what print() and input() do and how to use them in a Python program by the end of this lesson
Find the starter program Go to <SHARED AREA> and download starter_activity_sheet_1.py Save into your own area Run the program Does it do exactly what you thought it would do? If not, look at the differences and correct on the Do Now sheet
Questions 5 minutes Answer the questions on the sheet (or in your exercise books) 1. How many variables can you find in this program and what are they being used for? 2. print() is a function that you can use to display to the screen. What other function is in this program and what does it do? 3. What is the + being used for in this program? 4. What happens when you use print() with nothing inside the brackets?
Tasks in pairs 25 minutes 1. 2. Change the program so that it uses your name instead of Billy. Change the program so that it lets you type in your answer on the same line as the question. Change the program so that it asks the user what their name is at the beginning of the program Save your file (Save as ) with a new name and write a new program building on the first one. 4. Ask the user three questions, and each time give a suitable response: - What their name is - What they had for breakfast - What their favourite colour is Ask another person to test your program Next week we will make more intelligent responses! 3.
