Conditional Statements - Python | Lesson 9 (Free Coding Bootcamp)

Free Coding Bootcamp - Go from Zero to Software Engineer

This Bootcamp will follow the roadmap covered in this video

In this lesson, we go over conditional statements so that we can handle complicated logic. We also talk about the input() function so that we can prompt the user for input.

I remember when conditionals in programming used to be really difficult for me to grasp. It took me a while, but when I realized that we use conditional statements in speech with our friends all the time, I immediately understood how they work in programming.

The introduction in this lesson is excellent, because it helps the learner realize that we humans use conditional statements in our lives all the time.

Talking about the weather and how to react to it is such a vivid example of how powerful and mundane if-then statements are. This kind of an introduction helps the learner see the connection between programming and everyday language.

I started again and this time I'm doing a few videos a day! Lessons 6-9 were great!

[bho]

That cheat sheet is great! Saved it for future reference, thanks!

Hey Vincent! I got this far, everything's going well. A lot of this has been really similar and kind of like review, since I took a programming course learning C, since I am in engineering. To be completely honest, everything from conditional statements and beyond started to not be fun for me in C 💀. Arguably, even functions and onwards was rough. But I am really grateful how you explain things really well with real life and silly examples. Just wanted to "check in" so to speak, I'm still here!

[CoolName]

thank you so make for this series❤❤
i really love ur way of teaching it's simplified and not boring and the fact that u recommended us replit to use made it much much easier for me to practice especially with my slow internet connection🐢🐢

[robbyv]

Another great vid! Fast but that's why God gave us the pause button!!!

[goodhuman]

At 6:35, how did you automatically indent all the lines? What's the secret!

[oliurrahman]

question at 6:38 how did you indent the lines so fast, what was the shortcut you used, i had to do it manually putting spaces in?
thanks!

for some reason could not comment on your previous video. but keep your head up king.

[m-mcwrath]

@4:32 you verbally state semicolon but type colon. There's nothing worse than trying to debug at 4am and the project is due the next day, and the syntax error is ; instead of : 🧐

[txsy-system]

Thank you ❤❤❤ spent alot practicing and i love the breakdown of the lesson from the intro

[golyyyz]

Hi, Vincent thank you for your videos. I wanted to ask what if we wanted the rating to only appear after the user answers the weather question if that makes sense . thanks again, I am learning a lot from your videos

[mahanaimfessahye]

i was struggling for a bit but i got it now

[deed_it]

Hello sir, I was just wondering if when can I use python in a project, Will it be included upon this whole series?

[mrs]

what if after writing "sunny" in the terminal comes back as a syntax error saying "sunny" is not defined?

[Osandha_]

would it be considered unclean code if you do def whatIsTheWeather():

[sannys.]

Hey Vince,
I just wanted to know if it supposed to "Sunny but Sad" everytime the rating is 1.

For example

What ist the Weather?
A: Meatballs
How was your day?
A: 1
Sunny but Sad


Thats the output i get everytime i use the rating 1 now. Can you help me fix this issue.

My english is not the best i would appreciate it if you could keep your anwser as simple as possible.

Thanks in advance :)

[cerfmanager]

i was confused because i made a meatball = cool algorithm and I used if answer = y... and realised and didn't realise i changed the variable answer to y in a conditional statement

[AlejandroMartinez-bvtv]

How do you put a "conditon" lol

[kbnjebs]

hi, Vincent! i cant seem to solve the error in my code, how can I combine 'if' branches using logical 'or' operator in line 10 and 14. thank you
