Spend longer whenever you need.</p><p>A decision chooses which statements run. The policy here is “ready at 80 or higher.” Trace 85, 79, 80, and 81 before running each case. The comparison includes 80. A program that prints the right answer for 85 may still be wrong at the boundary. Add a separate check rejecting scores below 0 or above 100; rejection and needing practice mean different things.</p><p>Indentation groups statements. <code>def</code> defines a function and <code>return</code> supplies its result. A dictionary maps keys to values. The isolated Python 3 lab has the standard library; external packages are not installed by student code.</p><pre><code class="language-python">score = 85
if score &gt;= 80:
print(&quot;Ready&quot;)
else:
print(&quot;Practice&quot;)
</code></pre><p><strong>Expected result:</strong> <code>Ready</code></p><h3>Practice and evidence</h3><p>Keep three notes: your prediction, the actual result, and why they match or differ. The completion check grades understanding; the practice task builds skill.</p><p><a href="https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/">Language reference</a></p></html>
