Lecture 2

1. Strings

   What is the value of variable `u` from the code below?

   once = "umbr"
   repeat = "ella"
   u = once + (repeat+" ")*4

2. Comparisons

   What does the code below print?

   pset_time = 15
   sleep_time = 8
   print(sleep_time > pset_time)
   derive = True
   drink = False
   both = drink and derive
   print(both)
   

   False then False check

   False then True close

3. Branching

   What’s printed when x = 0 and y = 5?

   x = float(input("Enter a number for x: "))
   y = float(input("Enter a number for y: "))
   if x == y:
    if y != 0:
    print("x / y is", x/y)
   elif x < y:
    print("x is smaller")
   else:
    print("y is smaller") 
   

   x is smaller check

   y is smaller close
