Objectives

Understand and apply Python variables in storing and manipulating data.

Utilize control flow structures to direct the program execution.

Create and implement functions to organize and reuse code efficiently.

Explore modules to extend the functionality of Python programs.

Task $1$: Variables and Basic Operations

Create Variables: Define two variables,

and

sale$\_$price, a

and assign them values of your choice.

Calculate Profit: Calculate the profit by subtracting

from

$.$ Store the result in a

variable named

Print Results: Print the values of

$,$

and

with a descriptive message.

Task $2$: Control Flow $-$ Making Business Decisions

Discount Logic: Create a variable

and assign it a value. Write an

structure that

applies a $10\%$ discount if more than $50$ items are sold, a $5\%$ discount if $20$ to $50$ items are sold, and no

discount otherwise.

Calculate Discounted Price: Calculate the final price after the discount and print the result with a descriptive

message.

Task $3$: Functions $-$ Modularizing the Discount Strategy

Define a Function for Discount: Define a function

that takes the price and

quantity as arguments and returns the final price after applying the discount logic from Task $2.$

Use the Function: Call the function with different

and

values and print the results.

Task $4$: Modules $-$ Utilizing External Libraries

Import a Module: Import the

module.

Mathematical Operation: Use the

function to calculate the square root of a number of your

choice and print the result.

Task $5$: Surprise me$!$ Create some code that is not covered in my tutorials or combine different parts

of the tutorials into a new task. Be creative, and make sure to offer extensive comments so I can

understand your goal for this task.
