Conditional Logic and Booleans - Python Programming Exercise

This Python program uses the conditional operator to assign a boolean variable named "bothEven" the value "True" if both numbers entered by the user are even, or "False" if either one of them is odd. The program prompts the user to input two integer numbers and then checks each number’s parity (whether it is even or odd). By leveraging the conditional operator (also known as the ternary operator), the program evaluates the condition and assigns the appropriate boolean value to bothEven. This approach is a concise and effective way to check multiple conditions in a single line of code. This exercise is useful for understanding how to use the conditional operator in Python, which allows for clean and efficient conditional assignments. It also helps reinforce the concept of parity checks in programming, where the program checks whether numbers are even or odd using the modulo operator. By using this method, the program makes decisions based on the user’s input and provides immediate feedback, demonstrating an essential programming technique for handling conditions.

Conditional Logic And Booleans

 Objective

Develop a Python program that uses the conditional operator to assign a boolean variable named "bothEven" the value "True" if two numbers entered by the user are even, or "False" if any of them is odd.

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Prompt the user for two numbers
num1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))
num2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))

# Use the conditional operator to check if both numbers are even
bothEven = True if num1 % 2 == 0 and num2 % 2 == 0 else False

# Display the result
print(f"Both numbers are even: {bothEven}")

 Output

Enter the first number: 4
Enter the second number: 6
Both numbers are even: True

Enter the first number: 4
Enter the second number: 7
Both numbers are even: False

Enter the first number: 3
Enter the second number: 5
Both numbers are even: False
