If it's raining, we might decide to get up a little earlier to give ourselves more time to get to school. In this video, I'm going to teach you how to have Python make decisions. You'll be able to ask Python to check if a certain condition is met and perform or not perform an action based on that condition. Looking at this code, we have two variables. One is called numbers and it contains a list of the numbers 1 through 10. We also have a variable called numbers_greater_than_five, which just contains an empty list. In this program, I want to loop through the numbers 1 through 10, and if the number is greater than 5, I'm going to store it in the numbers_greater_than_five list. Let's do that. To loop through the numbers 1 through 10, we're going to use a for loop. We then need to add a conditional statement to check if the number is greater than 5. To do that, we use an if…
