Week 4: Conditionals

Learning Objectives

By the end of this week, students will be able to:

• Write if, elif, and else statements to control program flow
• Use boolean expressions to decide which branch of code runs
• Trace a program with multiple conditional paths
• Test edge cases that exercise each branch of a program

Perspectival Reading

Reflection Questions

1. How do conditional statements let a program respond differently to different situations?
2. Why do boundary cases matter when testing conditional logic?
3. What makes one conditional chain clearer than another?
