Hacks 1:

  1. NOT: Reverses the result. Ex: false if result is true
  2. AND: evaluates to true if given conditions are true
  3. OR: evaluates to true when either or both of the conditions are true
# username is noor
# score is 25
# gameover is false
username = "noor" 
score = 25
gameover = False


# AND: true example
AND = username == "noor" and score > 20 
print(AND)

# NOT: true example
NOT = not username == "joe"
print(NOT)

# OR: true example
OR = score > 20 or username == "joe"
print(OR)

True
True
True

Hacks 2:

  1. Selection: basically selecting which part of an algorithm to execute based on an input or other parameter
  2. Algorithm: set of procedures that is created to solve a specific problem (problem can be anything; problem doesn't need to be a critical one)
  3. Conditional statement: instructs the code to make a decision based on a true or false condition 
x = 9

if x % 2 == 0:
    print("this is an even number!")

else:
    print("this is an odd number")

How I furthered my understanding:

Change the variables in the first section, so that each if statement resolves as True.

number = 10
second_number = 10
first_array = []
second_array = [1,2,3]

if number > 15:
    print("1")

if first_array:
    print("2")

if len(second_array) == 2:
    print("3")

if len(first_array) + len(second_array) == 5:
    print("4")

if first_array and first_array[0] == 1:
    print("5")

if not second_number:
    print("6")

Solution:

number = 16
second_number = 6
first_array = [1,2,3]
second_array = [3,2]

if number > 15:
    print("1")

if first_array:
    print("2")

if len(second_array) == 2:
    print("3")

if len(first_array) + len(second_array) == 5:
    print("4")

if first_array and first_array[0] == 1:
    print("5")

if not second_number:
    print("6")

Hacks 3: 

if money < 100:

    if item == "in stock":
        print("item is available for purchase")
        if itemprice > money:
            print("item can't be purchased")
        elif itemprice <= money:
            print("item can be purchased")
    else:
        print("item is not in stock")
    

temp = 65
bringjacket = True

if temp < 65:
    if bringjacket == True:
        print("its really cold! Good thing you brought your jacket")
    elif bringjacket == False:
        print("its really cold and you should have brought your jacket!")
elif temp >= 65:
    if bringjacket == False: 
        print("its warm, you don't need a jacket right now anyways")
    else:
        print("its really hot!")

stem = ["Honors POE", "Calculus", "APCSP"]
arts = ["3d animation", "AP music theory", "photography"]
PE = ["weightlifting", "racket sports", "field sports"]

x = input("what is your preferred course pathway?")

if x == "stem":
    print(stem)
elif x == "arts":
    print(arts)
else:
    print(PE)

The code above counts for both the flow chart section and classes section of the hacks. Code that can display four statements is below:

if money < 100:

    if item == "in stock":
        print("item is available for purchase")
        if itemprice > money:
            print("item can't be purchased")
        elif itemprice <= money:
            print("item can be purchased")
    else:
        print("item is not in stock")
