Exercices for Python Syntax and Control Structures

Exercise Set 1: Basic Structure and Indentation

1. Fix the Syntax Look at this code and fix all syntax errors:

   def calculate_total price, tax
   result = price + (price * tax)
   return result
   
   print(calculate_total(100, 0.2)

2. Indentation Challenge Properly indent this code to make it work:

   def check_temperature(temp):
   if temp > 30:
   print("It's hot!")
   if temp > 35:
   print("It's very hot!")
   else:
   print("It's warm")
   else:
   print("It's not hot")
