#addition
6.666666666667
20/3
# Division that results in a float

20//3
# Integer division, discards the remainder
2
20%3
#gives the remainder of the division
54.5
5.45*10
# Multiplication of a float and an integer
16
2**4
# ** is the exponentiation operator
25
(3+2)*5
#Parentheses have the highest precedence, so 3 + 2 is
evaluated first
13
3+2*5
#Multiplication has higher precedence than addition
41.0
result = 3 + 5 * 2 ** 3 - 4 / 2
#2**3 is evaluated first
print(result)
44.0
result = (10 + 5) * 3 - 8 / 2 ** 2 + 1
#2**2 and (10+5) evaluated first
print(result)
2. Data Types
Instruction to type Result obtained + comment or explanation
<class 'int'>
type(3)
<class 'float'>
type(1.5)
<class 'float'>
type(3.0)
type("bonjour") <class 'str'>
<class 'str'>
type("3")
"3"enclosed in quotes, so it’s treated as a string.
<class 'float'>
type(3+1.5)
<class 'int'>
a = 10
print(type(a))

b = 3.14 <class 'float'>
print(type(b))
<class 'bool'>
c = True #The variable c holds the Boolean value True.
print(type(c))
<class 'str'>
d = "Python"
print(type(d))
a = input("Enter your <class 'str'>
height: ") #The input() function collects user input and always returns a string,
print(type(a)) Even if the user types a number, it is treated as text.
a = float(input("Enter <class 'float'>
your height: ")) # float() used to convert the user’s input into a floating-point number.
print(type(a))
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.
day = input('entrer day jour: ')
month = input('entrer month: ')
year= input("entrer year: ")
print(f" Today’s Date is {day}/{month}/{year}")
2. Describe what happens in each of the three lines of the example below:
>>> width = 20 This line creates a variable named width and assigns it the value
of 20.
>>> height = 5 * 9.3 This line creates another variable named height and assigns it
the result of the expression 5 * 9.3
>>>width * height 930.0 this line calculates the product of width and height.
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.
a=3
b=5
c=7
result = a - b // c
>>> 3
Interpretation:
Floor Division (b // c) 5//7>>>0
Subtraction (a - (b // c)) 3-0= 3
4. Change your script by asking the user to enter the three variables’ values, and then
display their types and the operation result.

a = input("Enter the value for a: ")
b = input("Enter the value for b: ")
c = input("Enter the value for c: ")
result = a - (b // c)
print(f"The type of a is: {type(a)}")
print(f"The type of b is: {type(b)}")
print(f"The type of c is: {type(c)}")
print(f"The result of the operation a - b // c is: {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!"
score=float(input("enter the score: "))
if(score >= 0 and score<= 100):
if (score >= 90):
print("GRADE A")
elif (score <90 and score>= 80):
print("GRADE B")
elif (score <80 and score>= 70):
print("GRADE C")
elif (score <70 and score>= 60):
print("GRADE D")
else:
print("GRADE F")
else:
print("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."
…
is_raining = input("Is it raining? (True/False): ").lower() == 'true'
is_windy = input("Is it windy? (True/False): ").lower() == 'true'
temperature = float(input("What is the temperature in °C?: "))
if is_raining:
print("Stay indoors, it's raining.")
elif is_windy and temperature > 20:
print("Go for a walk, it's windy but warm.")
elif not is_windy and temperature > 10:
print("Go for a walk, the weather is fine.")
else:
print("Stay indoors, it's too cold.")
