Danger Zone
Once you code the project, compare it with our solutions below. We provide two solutions, one using if-elif-else and one using match-case, and compare the two to find out which one is better.
number=int(input("enter number:"))
if(number>0):
print("the number is positive")
elif(number<0):
print("the number i negative")
else:
print("the number is zero")
print("nivel 1: principiante lunes, ejercicio 2")
print()
num = int(input("ingrese un numero: "))
if num > 0:
print("El numero es positivo.")
elif num < 0:
print("El numero es negativo.")
else:
print("El numero es cero")
