The code you've provided mostly demonstrates sequencing, which is a fundamental concept in programming where statements are executed in a specific order, one after the other. In this case:
- The program prompts the user to input their first name.
- Then, it prompts the user to input their last name.
- Finally, it prints a greeting using the provided names.
There is no visible iteration (looping) or selection (conditional statements) present in the code as it currently stands.
To elaborate on the programming concepts mentioned:
- Sequencing: The order in which the operations are performed.
-
Iteration: Repeating a set of operations, typically using loops (e.g.,
for
,while
). -
Selection: Making decisions in code, typically done with conditional statements (e.g.,
if
,else
).
If you needed to add iteration or selection to this code, here’s a simple example:
Adding Iteration (Using a loop)
for i in range(3): # Repeat the greeting 3 times
firstname = input("What is your firstname? ")
lastname = input("What is your lastname? ")
print("Hello " + firstname + " " + lastname + "!")
Adding Selection (Using an if statement)
firstname = input("What is your firstname? ")
lastname = input("What is your lastname? ")
if firstname and lastname: # Check if both names are provided
print("Hello " + firstname + " " + lastname + "!")
else:
print("You didn't provide both your first name and last name.")
In summary, your original code primarily demonstrates sequencing. Adding loops or conditional statements would introduce iteration and selection, respectively.
