Conditional Symbols - Python Programming Exercise

This Python program prompts the user to enter a symbol and determines whether it is an uppercase vowel, a lowercase vowel, a digit, or any other symbol. Using if statements, the program checks each condition: first, it checks if the symbol is an uppercase vowel ('A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'); then, it checks for lowercase vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'); next, it verifies if the symbol is a digit (0-9); and finally, it handles any other symbol that doesn't fit these categories. This task teaches the use of conditional logic in Python, helping to refine your skills with if-else statements for various conditions. It also introduces the concept of character checking and classification, making it a simple yet effective way to practice Python's string handling and conditional structures. The program can be extended to accommodate more symbol classifications, providing a solid foundation for more complex pattern matching and input validation tasks.

Conditional Symbols

 Objective

Develop a Python program to prompt the user for a symbol and respond if it's an uppercase vowel, a lowercase vowel, a digit, or any other symbol, using "if".

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Prompt the user for a symbol
symbol = input("Enter a symbol: ")

# Check if the symbol is an uppercase vowel
if symbol in 'AEIOU':
    print("It's an uppercase vowel.")
# Check if the symbol is a lowercase vowel
elif symbol in 'aeiou':
    print("It's a lowercase vowel.")
# Check if the symbol is a digit
elif symbol.isdigit():
    print("It's a digit.")
# If it's neither an uppercase vowel, lowercase vowel, nor a digit, it's another symbol
else:
    print("It's another symbol.")

 Output

Case 1:
Enter a symbol: A
It's an uppercase vowel.

Case 2:
Enter a symbol: b
It's a lowercase vowel.

Case 3:
Enter a symbol: 5
It's a digit.

Case 4:
Enter a symbol: #
It's another symbol.
