If statement execution flow in Python - Mini Project: Build & Apply

If Statement Execution Flow

📖 Scenario: You are helping a small shop decide what message to show customers based on the amount they spend.

🎯 Goal: Build a simple program that uses if statements to check the amount spent and print the correct message.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a variable called amount_spent with the exact value 75

Create a variable called discount_threshold with the exact value 50

Use an if statement to check if amount_spent is greater than or equal to discount_threshold

Print "You get a discount!" if the condition is true

Print "No discount this time." if the condition is false

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Stores and online shops often give discounts based on how much a customer spends. This helps encourage more buying.

💼 Career

Understanding if statements is key for any programming job because decisions in code depend on conditions.

1

Create the amount spent variable

Create a variable called amount_spent and set it to the number 75.

Python

# Create a variable called amount_spent and set it to 75
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the equals sign = to assign the value 75 to amount_spent.

2

Set the discount threshold

Create a variable called discount_threshold and set it to the number 50.

Python

amount_spent = 75
# Create a variable called discount_threshold and set it to 50
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Remember to use the equals sign = to assign the value 50 to discount_threshold.

3

Write the if statement to check the amount

Write an if statement that checks if amount_spent is greater than or equal to discount_threshold. Inside the if block, write a print statement to display "You get a discount!". Add an else block with a print statement to display "No discount this time.".

Python

amount_spent = 75
discount_threshold = 50
# Write an if statement to check if amount_spent >= discount_threshold
# Print "You get a discount!" if true
# Otherwise, print "No discount this time."
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use if and else keywords. Indent the print statements inside the blocks.

4

Display the result

Run the program and print the message that shows whether the customer gets a discount or not.

Python

amount_spent = 75
discount_threshold = 50
if amount_spent >= discount_threshold:
    print("You get a discount!")
else:
    print("No discount this time.")
# Run the program to see the output
# Your code here

Need a hint?

The program should print the message automatically when run.
