Question

Write a program that asks the user for a number. Report whether that number is positive, zero, or negative. You should use an if-elif-else statement.

An example interaction with your program might look like this:

Enter a number: -3
That number is negative!
… or this:

Enter a number: 5
That number is positive!
… or this:

Enter a number: 0
That number is zero!

Answer 1

Here’s a simple Python program that does that:

```python
num = float(input("Enter a number: "))

if num > 0:
print("That number is positive!")
elif num == 0:
print("That number is zero!")
else:
print("That number is negative!")
```

(If you prefer only integers, change float(...) to int(...).)
