Python 3: Selection and Conditionals

This intermediate-level resource for those learning to program with Python 3.x looks at conditional statements including ELSE and ELIF. The use of arithmetic and logical operators is covered, along with tricks and tips for more efficient and fault-free code.

An explanation of how different data values and types evaluate as Boolean ‘True’ or ‘False’ is included, with some guidance on inserting them into functions.

The resource concludes with a set of student exercises to reinforce the learning. In order to test out the predications made by students at this point, access to a computer running the Python interpreter is required. Answers are not provided.
