What is the process of checking a program for errors?

1. Error checking
2. De-bugging
3. Error finding
4. Mistake finding

Selection

When your programs check conditions and select the path of action that they will follow accordingly.

Selection in Python: Greeting

print("What’s your name?")

user = input()

print("Hello", user)

 

We are going to extend this program to recognise one particular name and treat it differently.

If statements ISL task

• We are now going to have a go at creating our own conditional statement.
• The first one has been done for you, read the comments for help.

Now that we have created an example of a quiz question, we are going to create a 10 question multiple choice quiz.

The topic of the quiz can be your choice: EG capital cities.
