Question

Using Python

1. Assigns the value of “dog” to the variable AnimalName.
2. Assigns the value of “pigeon” to the variable AltAnimal.
3. Includes an if-statement in which… (Hint: You should use both elif and else.)
   1. If the value of AnimalName is “cat”, prints “The animal is a cat.”
      1. Includes a comment on the same line as this if-statement that explains what the if-statement is looking for (i.e., what would have to be true for the statement to return “true”).
   2. If the value of AnimalName is the same as AltAnimal, prints “The animal is a [value of AltAnimal].”
   3. Or, if the AnimalName is “lemur”, prints “I am displeased with the value of AnimalName.”
   4. But otherwise prints “The animal is not a cat or [value of AltAnimal]. Apparently it is a [value of AnimalName].”
4. Use placeholders to insert the variable values into your print statements.

#Python code

AnimalName="dog"
AltAnimal="pigeon"
if AnimalName is "cat":       #check if value of AnimalName is cat
    print("The animal is a cat.")
elif AltAnimal is AnimalName:
    print("The animal is a %s."%(AltAnimal))
elif AnimalName is "lemur":
    print("I am displeased with the value of AnimalName.")
else:
    print("The animal is not a cat or %s. Apparently it is a %s."%(AltAnimal,AnimalName))
