The Loop Log

Tonight’s Python lesson. It’s still pretty basic, but at least it’s a few steps beyond “Hello, world.”

This was based on Chapter 2 of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python.
Programmers tend to have a peculiar sense of humor (see code example).

Focus Areas: Python – flow control fundamentals, Boolean logic, conditional statements, and decision-making in programs.
Key Milestones:

• Mastered Boolean data type (True/False) and comparison operators (==, !=, <, >, <=, >=).
• Learned Boolean operators (and, or, not) and how to combine conditions into complex expressions.
• Understood Python’s indentation-based code blocks and their role in program structure.
• Implemented if/elif/else statements to create programs that make decisions based on conditions.
• Recognized the importance of condition order in elif chains and how execution flow changes.
