1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:01,420
Now in the last lesson,

2
00:00:01,450 --> 00:00:06,450
we saw how we could use if, elif, else to check for multiple conditions.

3
00:00:06,970 --> 00:00:11,970
But in this case we're only checking one condition even though we have multiple,

4
00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:15,610
because if this first condition is true,

5
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:20,350
then we would do whatever it is we need to do and then we would bypass

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,460
everything else.

7
00:00:22,030 --> 00:00:25,810
Now what if you were in a situation where you need to check for multiple

8
00:00:25,810 --> 00:00:30,010
conditions even if the previous one was already true?

9
00:00:31,180 --> 00:00:33,910
Coming back to our rollercoaster ticketing problem,

10
00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:36,400
if you're going on a good rollercoaster ride,

11
00:00:36,550 --> 00:00:41,020
you'd probably want to keep a picture for the memories, right?

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,020
And our rollercoaster is no exception.

13
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:49,470
We want to be able to charge users an extra $3 if they want to purchase a ticket

14
00:00:49,690 --> 00:00:52,120
that includes a photo. Now,

15
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:57,150
this is quite interesting because this is completely independent of their age or

16
00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:58,743
their height.

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,500
Even if we've already gotten their age and height and determined their ticket

18
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:07,450
price, this is an extra question. Do you want a photo or not?

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,670
Yes or no. If you do,

20
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:13,750
then we're going to add $3 to your existing ticket price.

21
00:01:14,650 --> 00:01:18,460
To do this, we would write multiple if conditions.

22
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:21,940
If condition 1 is true, then do a,

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,070
but then the code is going to go to the next case and check if condition 2 is

24
00:01:27,070 --> 00:01:27,903
also true,

25
00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:32,320
in which case it will do B and if the final condition is also true,

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,680
it's going to do C. Whereas on the example on the left

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,270
here, only one of these things, A, B, or C will be carried out.

28
00:01:40,690 --> 00:01:44,230
Comparing the example on the left where we're using

29
00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:48,370
if, elif, else, only one of these things A,

30
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:52,480
B or C will be carried out. But on the right hand side,

31
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:57,070
all three conditions are checked and if it's so happens that all three

32
00:01:57,070 --> 00:01:59,470
conditions are true, then A,

33
00:01:59,590 --> 00:02:02,860
B and C will all be executed.

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Currently, our code operates like this. We check for their height.

35
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:11,020
If they're over 120 centimeters,

36
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:13,990
we check their age and depending on their age,

37
00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:16,990
we give them a different price ticket.

38
00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:23,130
What we now want is even after we've checked for their ticket price,

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,510
we want to ask them a question, do you want photos with your ticket?

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,800
And if the answer is yes, then we're going to add $3 to that bill,

41
00:02:33,340 --> 00:02:35,500
no matter which type of ticket they've got.

42
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:39,490
And finally we give them the total bill. If they say no,

43
00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:43,090
then we jump straight to the total bill and just tell them the price of their 

44
00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:47,230
ticket. So how do we implement this in our code?

45
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:52,240
Well, first let's change these print statements.

46
00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:55,420
Instead of giving them the bill at each of these steps,

47
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:58,930
I'm going to tell them which type of ticket they're eligible for.

48
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,450
So the next thing to do is to ask them whether if they want a photo or not.

49
00:03:07,870 --> 00:03:12,730
So I'm going to need to use an input, but the question is where do I put that?

50
00:03:13,450 --> 00:03:18,450
Now the correct answer is that it has to be at the same indentation level as

51
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,860
this if block. So you can imagine this whole thing with the,

52
00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:27,640
if elif and else as sort of belonging together.

53
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:30,400
Because they all relate to one thing:

54
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,590
what is their age and which type of ticket are they eligible for. Now,

55
00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:37,540
outside of that if statement,

56
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:41,650
I'm going to create an input and ask the user,

57
00:03:42,370 --> 00:03:46,360
do you want a photo taken? Type Y for yes or N for no.

58
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:52,110
And then I'm going to save their input inside a variable called wants_photo.

59
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,120
So now I'm going to use an if statement to check what their answer was.

60
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:04,240
If it was true, then I'm going to add $3 and if it was false,

61
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:07,120
I'm just going to skip to giving them their ticket price.

62
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,810
So here is where I write my if statement.

63
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,440
Notice how it's at the same indentation level as this previous set of if

64
00:04:16,630 --> 00:04:17,463
statements.

65
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,920
But it's not at the same indentation level as this set of if statement.

66
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:27,760
So essentially what's happening is once I've checked their age,

67
00:04:28,270 --> 00:04:31,720
then I'm going to check whether if they want a photo or not.

68
00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:35,710
And this is going to apply to everybody no matter their age.

69
00:04:36,490 --> 00:04:40,930
So if wants_photo is equal to Y,

70
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,680
well in this case I'm going to go and add $3 to their bill.

71
00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:53,970
But how can I add $3 the bill when I don't have a variable to vary?

72
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,730
So instead of using these print statements,

73
00:04:58,450 --> 00:05:01,120
I'm going to create a variable up here called bill and

74
00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:03,400
I'm going to set it to equal zero.

75
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,010
Now in addition to printing to the user how much their ticket is,

76
00:05:09,340 --> 00:05:13,450
I'm going to set the bill to the price that they're supposed to pay.

77
00:05:13,930 --> 00:05:18,930
So if age is less than 12 bill is equal to $5, if age is less than 18 then bill

78
00:05:19,750 --> 00:05:23,170
is equal to $7, and finally for everybody else,

79
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,200
the bill is equal to $12. So now depending on these conditions,

80
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:34,780
the variable bill is going to be changed to a different number.

81
00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:38,260
But once we land in this if statement,

82
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,400
I'm going to have to add $3 to their bill

83
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:45,340
no matter which value it is at the moment.

84
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,880
So effectively, what I want to do is bill equals the current value of bill plus

85
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:54,130
$3. So if bill was $7,

86
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,160
then this new value bill should be $10. If bill was $12 then it should now be $15.

87
00:06:00,530 --> 00:06:05,240
Now in Python as well as many other languages, there's actually a slightly shorter way

88
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,260
of writing this.

89
00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:11,690
When you want to increase the current value that's held in a variable and you

90
00:06:11,690 --> 00:06:13,610
wanna save it back into the variable,

91
00:06:13,970 --> 00:06:17,240
you can simply write plus equals.

92
00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:22,040
So bill += 3 is the same as bill = bill + 3.

93
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:27,680
Now, no matter what the value of bill is before it reached this if statement,

94
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,930
I'm still going to add $3 to it. Now after this

95
00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:34,580
if statement is completed,

96
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,880
I don't actually have to write a companion else statement because in this case,

97
00:06:40,940 --> 00:06:45,080
if the answer is no, then we're simply going to do nothing.

98
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,380
We're not going to do anything to the bill. Instead,

99
00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:52,610
I'm just going to skip ahead and print to the user their final bill.

100
00:06:55,370 --> 00:07:00,370
And I'm going to use fstrings to insert the value that the bill variable has

101
00:07:02,990 --> 00:07:07,820
into this print statement. Now for your code to work,

102
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,000
the indentation matters a huge deal because the computer will think you want

103
00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:18,320
it to do different things depending on the indentation.

104
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,040
So notice how this indentation shows that this bill plus three is to be executed

105
00:07:26,510 --> 00:07:27,890
when this condition is true,

106
00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:33,580
but this print statement is not indented to the same level and effectively it's

107
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:38,300
going to happen after this if statement has been executed.

108
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,320
So you can play around with indenting this print statements, un-indenting it

109
00:07:45,230 --> 00:07:46,730
and see what the difference is.

110
00:07:47,810 --> 00:07:51,770
But now I'm going to go ahead and hit command

111
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,800
+ enter or control + enter on Windows to run my code and I'm going to go ahead and

112
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:59,330
try and get a ticket.

113
00:08:00,050 --> 00:08:03,530
So let's say that I am 21 years old,

114
00:08:04,730 --> 00:08:08,150
tells me the adult tickets at $12 and then it asked me,

115
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:11,810
do you want a photo taken? So yeah, I would love to have a photo taken.

116
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,530
And it tells me that my final bill is 15,

117
00:08:16,010 --> 00:08:18,170
so I forgot a dollar sign here.

118
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:23,710
But effectively it's now added the $3 to the $12 because of this additional if

119
00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:31,460
statement. So if this concept is still a little bit confusing to you,

120
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,880
then I want you to really study this flow chart and just look at the difference,

121
00:08:37,460 --> 00:08:40,549
um, and visualize it because the,

122
00:08:40,669 --> 00:08:45,670
if elif else statement is only ever going to be true in one of these arrows,

123
00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:51,410
right? You can't be less than 12 and 18 and over.

124
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,030
And similarly,

125
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:56,460
it doesn't make sense for you to have two different ticket prices.

126
00:08:57,270 --> 00:08:59,250
But with the want photos,

127
00:08:59,550 --> 00:09:04,550
this condition has to be asked no matter whichever branch they landed on.

128
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,130
So it's a completely separate from this if statement.

129
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:11,910
And once you've had a look at this flow chart,

130
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,980
then compare it against the code and the way that the code works should be a lot

131
00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:21,360
more obvious. And once you're happy with the code and this concept,

132
00:09:21,690 --> 00:09:25,440
then I want you to head over to the next lesson where I've got a code challenge

133
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,340
for you. So for all of that, and more, I'll see you there.
