Practice with interactive mode

• Run IDLE on your machine
• Practice with logical operators
  

  4 < 8 and 8 < 80
  4 > 8 or 8 < 80
  not True
  not False

• Write an if statement that checks the range of a variable
  

  age = 25
  if 16 <= age <= 65:
      print("Your age is in the right range")
   else:
      print("Your age is in the wrong range")
  

• Write some boolean expressions
  

  16 <= age  and  age <= 65
  16 <= age <= 65

• Set some boolean variables
  

  minor = age < 10
  minor
  senior = age > 65
  senior

Script for this exercise

• Open a text editor
  Use the editor built into IDLE.
• Copy the text below into the file

• Save the file as ex8.py
  
• Run this script in IDLE
  Open the script file in IDLE. Under the Run menu, select Run Module.
• You should see
  

  4 < 8 and 8 < 80: True
  4 > 8 or 8 < 80: True
  not True: False
  not False: True
  
  num_1 < num_2 and num_3 <= num_4: True
  num_1 < num_2 or num_3 > num_4: True
  num_2 == num_2 and num_3 != num_3: False
  num_2 == num_2 or num_3 != num_3: True

Copy the file to Unix

• Open FileZilla and connect to pe15.cs.umb.edu
  You will have to connect using your Unix username and password.
• Go to your 116 directory
• Go to your ex directory
• Inside this directory create the directory ex8
  Right-click in the whitespace inside the ex directory.
  Click and drag down to Create directory.
  Add ex8 to the path in the dialog box.
  Click OK.
• Copy your script to pe15
  Click and drag your ex8.py file to the ex8 directory

Running my test script on your script (Optional)

• If you want to run my text script on your Class Exercise script do the following
• Connect to pe15.cs.umb.edu
  Use an ssh client.
• Run my test code on your script
  

  ~ghoffman/it116_test/ex08.sh

  The script will prompt you for your Unix username.
