Popcorn Hack #1

Write a general conditional based on a topic of you choice Use an if and an else statement

# Define a temperature in degrees
temperature = 25

# Check the temperature category
if temperature > 30:
    print("It's hot outside, stay cool!")
elif temperature >= 15:
    print("It's warm outside, enjoy the weather!")
else:
    print("It's cold outside, dress warmly!")


It's warm outside, enjoy the weather!

%%js
// Define a temperature in degrees
const temperature = 25;

// Check the temperature category
if (temperature > 30) {
    console.log("It's hot outside, stay cool!");
} else if (temperature >= 15) {
    console.log("It's warm outside, enjoy the weather!");
} else {
    console.log("It's cold outside, dress warmly!");

Popcorn hack #2

Use a boolean value to check in a conditional Set an original value for the boolean variable as an input Create a conditional using said boolean variable checking if its true or false. Complete in Javascript and Python

# Ask the user if they are a student to determine discount eligibility
is_student = input("Are you a student? (yes/no): ").strip().lower() == "yes"

# Check the boolean variable
if is_student:
    print("You are eligible for a student discount!")
else:
    print("You are not eligible for a student discount.")


You are eligible for a student discount!

%%js
// Ask the user if they are a student to determine discount eligibility
const isStudent = prompt("Are you a student? (yes/no): ").trim().toLowerCase() === "yes";

// Check the boolean variable
if (isStudent) {
    console.log("You are eligible for a student discount!");
} else {
    console.log("You are not eligible for a student discount.");
}

import datetime

# Get the current day of the week
current_day = datetime.datetime.today().weekday()

# Check if it's the weekend (Saturday or Sunday)
if current_day >= 5:
    print("It's the weekend! Time to relax.")

    print("It's a weekday. Keep up the hard work!")


%%js
// Get the current day of the week
const today = new Date();
const currentDay = today.getDay(); // 0 for Sunday, 6 for Saturday

// Check if it's the weekend (Saturday or Sunday)
if (currentDay === 0 || currentDay === 6) {
    console.log("It's the weekend! Time to relax.");
} else {
    console.log("It's a weekday. Keep up the hard work!");
