Logistics

Moving forward, you’ll review and merge each others’ work in class.

Review, fix, and close issues assigned to you. We’ll have some catch-up time where we can review any outstanding issues.

Merging!

With great power comes great responsibility

• Never merge your own pull request
• Never commit directly to the gh-pages branch
• Never merge broken or failing code

Review & Merge Posts

Volunteer: Merging with Tommy Tester.

• Reviewing PRs - comment on them directly

• Assigning issues - already merged work with problems

~10 minutes reviewing & merging posts with a partner.

Discussion: Logic and the Flow of Control

Boolean values are very simple but very powerful. There are tons of useful ways to construct expressions that evaluate to True or False in Python, and we use these to change the behavior of our program.

Basic if statements act as ‘gates’ to control whether blocks of code get executed. elif and else statements enhance this control.
