Once you’ve covered basic datatypes, let’s do interesting things with Python like Loops! And Flow Control! Python lets you automate calculations and tasks and we’ll learn about that building block this week.

Time estimation: 1 hour 20 minutes

Learning objectives:

• Write conditional statements including if, elif, and else branches.
• Correctly evaluate expressions containing and and or.
• Explain what for loops are normally used for.
• Trace the execution of a simple (unnested) loop and correctly state the values of variables in each iteration.
• Write for loops that use the Accumulator pattern to aggregate values.
