- Operators in python -

 Operators :

Operators are special symbols in Python that carry out some specific operations. Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.performing


Note: 
● + when used with a number, adds the values 
● + when used with strings, concatenates two strings 
    Eg: “hello” +” world”=” hello world” 
● String and number cannot be added, unless the number is converted to string using str().
 Eg: ”Python”+str(3) =” Python3” 
● Number * character concatenates the character that many times. Eg: 3 * ‘a’ = ‘aaa’ 

Now that we know how arithmetic operators work, let us see how python handles other operations. You must have watched/followed the cricket world cup. In that, they keep a tally of the highest run-scorer, highest wicket-taker, etc. How do they do that? By comparing values(runs/wickets); right? And what are the operators used here;
The operators are <, >, etc 

There are a few operators in Python, which help us in comparing values and they are known as comparison operators/relational operators. 

Comparison operators/relational operators help us in comparing values and returns either True/or False. 



Note : == is used for comparison. Eg: x==2,checks if x is equal to 2 = is used for assignment. Eg: x=2,assigns value 2 to x 

Let us understand this with activity now.  Try filling in the blanks.

 To travel by train, you need to have a valid identity card _________ a ticket. (and) When purchasing something from Amazon, we can opt for cash on delivery _________ pay in advance. (or) Since it is sunny, I am ________ carrying my umbrella. (not)

Note: Here we use ‘and’ when both the conditions have to be satisfied. We use ‘or’ when either one condition has to be satisfied. The operators that we are making use of here are logical operators; and, or, not. 

Logical operators:


Logical operators help in combining two conditions and return True or False.





Let us write a program where you and your friends have gone to the Phoenix mall and bought some T-Shirts of Rs 800/- each and trousers of Rs 1500/- each from the Pantaloons showroom.

 Write a program to find out the total amount payable.

Note: ● int() converts a string to an integer 






Now let us write a program where you move on to Cinemax and buy 4 tickets cost Rs 200 /- each for Avengers. You pay Rs 2000/- at the cash counter. Find out how much balance you should be getting.




With the balance amount, you plan to buy popcorn and some drinks. But some of your friends want to buy tea and samosa. So you decide to divide the balance amount among yourself. Find out how much each person gets and the balance that will be left after dividing it equally.




Now that the balance amount is 0, you decide to get some money withdrawn from the ATM. But the ATM has only Rs 2000/- notes. So check if the money entered by you will be dispensed properly. Note: Money can be dispensed only if you are entering >=2000 and also if it's multiple of 2000. 

After watching the movie, you decide to go to the play area and take a ride on ‘The Pendulum ‘.But only kids above the age of 12 or kids having weight above 35 kg will be allowed to take the ride. Write the Python statement to check this condition.

- Animating characters using pygame -

If you see closely you can see that the mickey mouse animation is made out of a lot of shapes.  But to create something like this we need to make a very complex code. The other way around it is to use an image, other than the basic shapes, pygame also can show images.  Using images :  Steps to use images in my game: > find the image you want to use  > move it to the directory where you have created your code  > import/load image  To load the image we will first create an object and then use the image. load method to add the image to the object.  here, we have created an object called an image.  We then use the "pygame.image.load" to find the file in the directory ocean.png has to be replaced with the filename of your file.  To place the object on a particular point of the screen we use the blit function.  this function means that we are going to add the image onto the screen at position 0,0 mickey mouse is winking  Using text: We can also add text to the pygame, to a

- Functions in Python -

  Function-  ● A function is a named block of code designed to perform a specific task.  ● It takes in some input (optional), processes it, and gives us some output. (optional)  ● A function once defined, can be called many times. eg: function to draw a square, function to calculate average, etc. A function has 2 parts - function definition and function call.  Have you ever used a soft drink vending machine?  You give it some input (the drink you want, money ) and it does some processing inside(checks the amount, checks availability) and gives you the output(the soft drink).  Here, you are not bothered about, how the machine works or from where it gets the soft drink. right? You just give the input and you get the required output. isn’t it?  Functions in programming also behave in a similar way. Function definition: Set of instructions that form the function.  Syntax  def  <function name>(<parameter>):        <statement 1>         <statement 2>        --------

- Quiz game in Python -

 Game Overview  ● Questions are stored in a file. We will have to read it from the file and store it in a dictionary.  ● 2 points for the correct answer and -1 point for the wrong answer  ● Max no. of questions asked:5  ● Questions will be shuffled once and then asked sequentially.  File Template (for the program)  Each question in the file is stored as <Question> : <Answer> Here ‘:’ acts as a separator between question and answer.  Each line read from the file will be of string data type. ‘:’ helps in separating the answer from the question.  Note: Make sure you add a ‘:’ between question and answer if adding a question manually.  Algorithm  Now that you have seen how the quiz game works, Let's have look at the algorithm for the same.  1. Read the entire file  2. From each line read, get the question and answer a. Add to dictionary  3. Print the rules of the game 4. Shuffle the questions  5. Get each question from the quiz dictionary           a. Ask the question
