Overview

In this assignment, we'll look at some basic uses of conditionals to enforce control-flow of some simple programs.

Instructions

The following tasks will either have you interacting with existing files in the assignment repository or creating new ones on the fly. Don't forget to add your interpreter directive, utf-8 encoding, and a short docstring with any new files that you create!

Important

In these exercises, you may, on occasion, come across a task that requres you to research or use a function or method not directly covered by the course text. Since Python is such a large language it would be impossible for the author to have included descriptions of each and every available function which would largely duplicate the offical Python documentation.

A vital skill to successful programming is being comfortable searching for and using official language documentation sources like the Python String Documentation page. Throughout our coursework we will be practicing both the use of the language in practice and the search skills necessary to become functional programmers.

Warmup Tasks

Task 01

Imagine that you were taking an incredibly difficult programming course. The stress of the course is starting to get to you so your doctor tells you to start regularly checking your systolic blood pressure. Unfortunately, the numbers are fairly hard to remember, you'd much rather know your pressure in common language terms.

Create a simple branching statement to achieve this objective.

Specifications

1. Work on a new line on your existing notebook

2. Using a combination of input(), if, elif, and else, write a program that asks the user their blood pressure. Compare the blood pressure against the following chart and save the Status to a variable named BP_STATUS. At the end of the program, print a nice sentence with a formatting string to tell you your status and use .format() to replace the formatting string with your BP_STATUS.

   Blood Pressure Readings

   Start	End	Status
   --	89	Low
   90	119	Ideal
   120	139	Warning
   140	159	High
   160	--	Emergency

Hint

Don't forget that the input of input is a string!

Expected Output ^^^^^^^^

$ python -i task_05.py
What is your blood pressure? 120
Your status is currently: Warning!

Submission

Code should be submitted via Blackboard as a Jupyter notebook file.
