Re: 6.00 Handout, Lecture 2 http://tinyurl.com/q35p8dy

The handout has the following code:

''''
if x < y:
if x < z:
print 'x is least'
else:
print 'z is least'

else:
print 'y is least'
'''
why is else: y is least
?

if x = 3
y = 2
z = 1

z is the least

Answer 1

Write after the code I post, is the following:

'''
if x < y:
if x < z:
print 'x is least'
else:
print 'z is least'
elif y < z:
print 'y is least'
'''
Which does make sense and later in the code it addresses if z is the least.

Answer 2

To clarify, the difference between the command in the 1st post and 2nd post is ese vs. elif respectively.

Answer 3

The handout has the correct code boxed in a rectangle
