This is a machine-translated text that may contain errors!

Task 1 - “Login”

Create a simple program that asks the user for a password. If the password matches the correct password, the program prints a message.

Hint: Store the correct password in a variable and compare it to the variable.

Eksempel Utskrift 
Enter password: password123
That is the correct password!

  • How to check if the text is equal to something.
  • You must use if here.
  • Feel free to use else to print if the password does not match.

Task 2a

Ask the user for a color, then print a message based on which color they chose.

Add at least 4 colors to check. Examples: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow

Eksempel Utskrift 
Write a color: red
Red is a warm color!

Tips til framgangsmåte
  • How to check if the text is similar to something.
  • Here you must use if, elif and else.
  • Hint: You can have more than one elif.

Task 2b

One thing worth considering is that, for a computer

Modify the code to work regardless of what you enter for the color.

Example: If you write røD, it should still give you the message for red.

New concept! lower() function!

To solve this, you must use something not mentioned in Level 1:

lower(). This function converts all text to “lowercase”, i.e., only lowercase letters.

It can be used like this:

tekst = "hELlo WoRLd!"
sma_bokstaver = tekst.lower()
print(sma_bokstaver) # prints out "hello world!"

There is also upper() to convert everything to UPPERCASE letters.

Eksempel Utskrift 
Write a color: red
Red is a warm color!

Tips til framgangsmåte
  • After you have extracted the text from the user, convert it to lowercase first before checking the colors.

Task 3

Is it warm outside or is it cold outside? Ask the user for a temperature in Celsius. Then, provide a message based on whether it is warm or cold.

Eksempel Utskrift 
What is the temperature: 30
It is hot outside!

  • Check if a number is above or below a certain value. 👍[Python 2, Level 1]

Task 4 - Compare Two Numbers

Create a program that asks the user for two numbers. Compare these two numbers to each other and give a message about whether the “first” or “second” number is larger.

Tips til framgangsmåte
  • How do we compare two variables?

Task 5 - Is it the weekend?

Create a program that asks the user for a day of the week, then checks if it is the weekend or not. Print a message if it is the weekend, or a message if it is not the weekend!

New concept! or the keyword!

In this assignment, it may be useful to start using or. We haven’t talked about this yet, but it’s very simple!

You can use this to compare two things at the same time!

if number == 2 or number == 3:
    print("That is correct!")

There is also and, where both cases must be true at the same time for it to work.

Eksempel Utskrift 
Write a weekday: Saturday
It's the weekend! Woohoo!

Ekstra utfordring

You can achieve this with only one if and one else, how can you do it?

Task 6 - Grading System

Create a program that takes a score between 0 and 100 and returns a “Grade”.

Score Grade
Over 90 6
Between 75 and 89 5
Between 60 and 74 4
Between 50 and 59 3
Between 40 and 49 2
Under 40 1

Tips til framgangsmåte
  • How do we check if a number is above a certain value?
  • Hint: We never need to check if a value is below a given value here, as long as you check in order from the highest grade to the lowest.

Task 7 - Simple Calculator

Ask the user for two numbers, then ask for an “operator” for the calculation. Start with plus + and minus -. Perform the calculation and print the answer to the user.

Eksempel Utskrift 
Write a number: 14
Write another number: 18
Write an operator: +
The answer is: 32

Tips til framgangsmåte
  • First, find out how do we add two numbers together?
  • How do we retrieve numbers from the user?
  • How do we add two variables together?
  • Now also retrieve the operator.
  • How do we check which operator has been written?
