LAB 2 : Python First Steps
1. First Python commands
Instruction to type Result obtained + comment or explanation
20+1 21
20/3 6.666666666666667
20//3 6
20%3 2
5.45*10 54.5
2**4 16
(3+2)*5 25 the priority is given to the parentheses
3+2*5 13 the priority is given to the multiplication
result = 3 + 5 * 2 ** 3 - 4 / 2 the priority is given to the power then the
41
print(result) multiplication
result = (10 + 5) * 3 - 8 / 2 ** 2 + 1 the priority is given to the parentheses
44 then the power then the multiplication
print(result)
2. Data Types
Instruction to type Result obtained + comment or explanation
type(3) <class 'int'> it is an integer
type(1.5) <class 'float'> it is a float
type(3.0) <class 'float'> it is a float
type("bonjour") <class 'str'> it is a string
type("3") <class 'str'> it is a string
type(3+1.5) <class 'float'> it is a float
a = 10 it is an integer
<class 'int'>
print(type(a))

b = 3.14 <class 'float'> it is a float
print(type(b))
c = True <class 'bool'> it is a boolean value
print(type(c))
d = "Python" <class 'str'> it is a string
print(type(d))
a = input("Enter your Enter your the first instruction asks the user for their height
height: ") height: 178 then it is saved in the variable a
print(type(a)) <class 'str'> a if non indicated is automatically saved as a string
a = float(input("Enter Enter your height: 178 same as the previous question but this
your height: ")) <class 'float'> time we have indicated the type of the
print(type(a)) variable
Exercises :
1. Write a script that asks the user for the day, month, and year, then displays the date as
follows:
Today’s Date is : 12/12/2023.
2. Describe what happens in each of the three lines of the example below:
>>> width = 20
>>>height = 5 * 9.3
>>>width * height
930.0
3. Assign the respective values 3, 5, and 7 to three variables a, b, c.
Perform the operation a - b // c.
Interpret the obtained result.
4. Change your script by asking the user to enter the three variables’ values, and then
display their types and the operation result.
5. Write a Python program that takes a student's score as input and outputs the
corresponding grade based on the following grading scale:
Score ≥ 90: Grade A
Score 80-89: Grade B
Score 70-79: Grade C
Score 60-69: Grade D
Score < 60: Grade F
Ensure that the input is valid (i.e., the score should be between 0 and 100).
If the input is invalid, print an error message like "Invalid score!"

6. Weather Decision System: Write a Python program that asks the user to input the
current weather conditions and decides whether a person should go for a walk based on
the following:
If it's raining, the person should stay indoors.
If it's windy but not raining, the person should only go for a walk if the
temperature is above 20°C. Otherwise, they should stay indoors.
If it's neither raining nor windy, the person should go for a walk if the
temperature is above 10°C. Otherwise, they should stay indoors because it's too
cold.
Instructions:
Ask the user for weather input:
o is it raining? (True/False)?
o is it windy? (True/False)
o What is the temperature?
Example Output:
"Stay indoors, it's raining."
"Go for a walk, it's windy but warm."
"Go for a walk, the weather is fine."
