Session 6: Flowcharts

FLOWCHARTS
A flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm. A flowchart can be helpful for both writing programs
and explaining the program to others.

SYMBOLS USED IN FLOW CHART

Symbol Purpose Description

Indicates the flow of logic by

Flow line
connecting symbols.

Represents the start and the end of a

Terminal(Stop/Start)
flowchart.

Input/Output Used for input and output operation.

Used for arithmetic operations and

Processing
data-manipulations.

Used for decision making between two

Decision
or more alternatives.

On-page Connector Used to join different flowline

Used to connect the flowchart portion

Off-page Connector
on a different page.

Predefined Represents a group of statements

Process/Function performing one processing task.

Evaluation Order
The following table gives the precedence table for Python, from the lowest precedence (least binding) to the highest
precedence (most binding).

lambda: Lambda Expression

if - else: Conditional expression
or: Boolean OR
and: Boolean AND
not x: Boolean NOT
in, not in, is, is not, <, #, >, >=, !=, ==
Comparisons, including membership tests and identity tests
| Bitwise OR
^ Bitwise XOR
& Bitwise AND
<<, >> Shifts
+, - Addition and subtraction
*, /, //, % Multiplication, Division, Floor Division and Remainder
+x, -x, ~x Positive, Negative, bitwise NOT
** Exponentiation
x[index], x[index:index], x(arguments…), x.attribute
Subscription, slicing, call, attribute reference
(expressions…), [expressions…], {key: value…}, {expressions…}
Binding or tuple display, list display, dictionary display, set display

Session 7: Conditional Statements

CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS

The if Statement
The if statement is used to check a condition: if the condition is true, we run a block of statements (called the if-
block), else we process another block of statements (called the else-block). The else clause is optional.

Output:

We supply a string to the built-in raw_input function which prints it to the screen and waits for input from the user.
Once we enter something and press enter key, the input() function returns what we entered, as a string. We then
convert this string to an integer using int and then store it in the variable guess . Actually, the int is a class but all you
need to know right now is that you can use it to convert a string to an integer (assuming the string contains a valid
integer in the text).
Next, we compare the guess of the user with the number we have chosen. If they are equal, we print a success
message. Notice that we use indentation levels to tell Python which statements belong to which block. This is why
indentation is so important in Python. Notice how the if statement contains a colon at the end - we are indicating to
Python that a block of statements follows.
There is no switch statement in Python. You can use an if..elif..else statement to do the same thing.

#Once I had been to the post-office to buy stamps of five rupees, two rupees and one
rupee.
# I paid the clerk Rs. 20, and since he did not have change, he gave me three more stamps
of one rupee.
# If the number of stamps of each type that I had ordered initially was more than one,
# what was the total number of stamps that I bought.

t=43 #total amount i have paid to clerk

print("The total amount that i paid to clerk is:RS.{}".format(t)) #money that i paid
#ch=3 #change to be given by clerk
#print("The balance that the clerk given as Rs.1 stamp is:RS.{}".format(ch)) # the change

#diff costs of stamps

# WAP to input 3 numbers and display in ascending order DO NOT USE AND, OR, NOT
#Use Nested IF
# 5,9,3 - Input
# 3 <= 5 <=9 - Output

Assignments
1. #WAP enter 3 sides, check if triangle is possible or not
# and also to check if the triangle is Isoceles or Equilateral or Scalene or
Right angled
2. #Modify this program to make it look like your school's rule
# A >=80 B>=70 C>=60, D >=40 <40: Failed
3. Write if statements to do the following:
– If character variable taxCode is ’T’, increase price by adding the taxRate percentage of price to it.
– If integer variable opCode has the value 1, read in double values for X and Y and calculate and print their sum.
– If integer variable currentNumber is odd, change its value so that it is now 3 times currentNumber plus 1, otherwise
change its value so that it is now half of currentNumber (rounded down when currentNumber is odd).
– Assign true to the boolean variable leapYear if the integer variable year is a leap year. (A leap year is a multiple of 4,
and if it is a multiple of 100, it must also be a multiple of 400.)
– Assign a value to double variable cost depending on the value of integer variable distance as follows:

Distance - Cost
----------------------------------- ----------
0 through 100 5.00
More than 100 but not more than 500 8.00
More than 500 but less than 1,000 10.00
1,000 or more 12.00
