Operators & Decision Making - Python for Kids

Operators and Decision Making in Python help us perform operations and make decisions in a program.
They are important concepts in Python programming for beginners (Grade 1–10 students).

What are Operators?

Operators in Python are symbols used to perform operations on values.
They help in:

Calculations (Arithmetic Operators)
Comparisons (Comparison Operators)
Logic building (Logical Operators)

Types of Operators

Arithmetic Operators → Perform calculations (+, -, *, /)
Comparison Operators → Compare values (==, >, <)
Logical Operators → Combine conditions (and, or, not)

What is Decision Making?

Decision Making in Python means choosing an action based on a condition.
It is done using if, else, and elif statements.

Helps programs decide what to do next
Works based on True or False conditions

Example Program (Operators + Decision Making)

marks = 75

if marks >= 50:
    print("Pass")
else:
    print("Fail")

Output:

Pass

Explanation

marks >= 50 → Comparison operator checks condition
if → makes a decision based on condition
Output depends on True/False result
