In life, we compare things. In writing, we use symbols like <, >, and = to tell that one thing is greater, less than, or equal to another. Python uses the usual logical comparison symbols we use in mathematics, with some bit changes:     Equals: x == y This means x and y are equal…

My friend and I graduated college the same year and went job hunting. He was always talking about how huge his skills are and how high in demand they are in the labour market. He rants that if he would ever sit for any job, they must be ready to pay him $5,000 monthly. I…

Here is another common conditional in Python. We use this one when the condition of a program is needed or can be either True or False. Hence, you will specify what the computer will do when True and also when False. That is why there is an if and an else. That is telling the…

Slicing in Python means cutting out a part of a list you wish to use in another part of a program. Based on indices of the items in a list, we can slice lists. For example, by taking the list we created and calling my_list, we can slice it. Look at the following codes closely:…

You have learned how to change the flow of your code with conditionals like if, else and elif. There is another way of controlling the flow of a program. We call it a loop. There are two loops in Python, for loops and while loops. Imagine that your dog is sick and the doctor wants…
