Y9 Understanding Python I/O- Interviewer program

The aim of these pages is to help you understand python input and output by making an interviewer program. As well as the print() and input() functions you will also be using the if condition: statement quite alot. Press start to begin

Using Python IDLE?

The IDLE is a shell that can be used to run Python commands or Python programs.
To open a code editor in which to write a program you can click File, New File.
When you run the code messages go to the shell window.

Using an online coding site such as repl.it?

There should be a code editor window to write the code into.
To run the code there should be a run button and the messages should appear in the shell window.

Type print("== Welcome GCSE student ==") into the code editor window and run the module

When the code is run messages and output go to the: code editor dialogue box shell window new window

Simple I/O

On the right is a very simple program similar to one that you should have made already.

Create this program and save it as interviewer

The program stores the user response to the input into a variable. The response is them printed with message.

 

What is the variable called in this program?

Integer variable

Add some more code into your interviewer program to gather more data from the interviewee (address, e-mail etc..) and add more code to display the data.

The picture shows how to ask for the age and convert it to an integer. Add this into your program too.

 

In this example the variable is called name email address age .
The int() makes the variable an integer image computer

Using if statements

If statements can be used to control what instructions the program does.

First at the very start of your program insert the import time instruction so the sleep will work:

Next add the code below to the end of you program. The : is needed to mark the end of the if statement
the editor will indent away from the margin for the next block automatically.
The if block finishes when you press backpace to stop the indent.

Run your program; if you have made a mistake try to fix it. The : and the indenting from the margin are important

In this fragment of code the value of the variable age is compared with 15. The program will exit if age is equal to 15 less than 15 more than 15
The exit will happen after a delay of
2 millseconds
2 seconds
2 minutes
The message "you can join this class" will be printed if age is equal to 15 less than or equal to 15 more than or equal to 15

Next up the quiz part

Add more lines of code like the email=input("Please enter you email address: ") to get more infomation from the candidate. Click here to add quiz questions to your interviewer
