Decision Structures

Learning Goals

Preparation for class:

If statements are associated with making decisions based on conditions, so they will sometimes be called conditional tests. Some books include if statements in a catch-all control structures section which also includes loops. Regardless of what they are called, the code is all about if, else adn elif. This also brings up the topic of Boolean Expressions. For this week just focus on Reading from Python Crash Course.

• Look over the if elif and else code samples here
• Get the gist of list basics at Google Developers
• Read over chapter 5: if Statements in Python Crash Course (refers to lists, but we only need to cover list basics for now)
• Watch Git Tutorial for Dummies, 19:24 mins
