Python Practice Lab, Lim A., Cheung V., 2026.

   Interactive chatbots are taking the world by storm! Are you interested in creating interactive programs but don’t know where to start? Do you have no coding background and want a fun introduction to computer science (CS)? Or, perhaps you are a teacher looking for a structured program to cover the areas in CS, while keeping examples interesting and fresh for your students?
In this book, you will learn basic programming by writing Python programs that mimic interactive chatbots. While this introductory book is not about how to code an advanced artificial intelligence, you will gain skills necessary for basic coding while learning about artificial intelligence concepts such as recommendation systems, computer vision, and big data.




Horoscope Bot.
In our next example program, we’ll explore creating a Horoscope Chatbot! In Chinese culture, it is said that if a person is bom in a certain year, they will bear a certain zodiac sign (one of twelve animals), and exhibit some characteristics of that animal. This twelve-animal sequence repeats every twelve years, so people who were bom in, say, 1996, 1984, 1972, or 1948 will all bear the Rat zodiac sign.

We can write a Horoscope chatbot that asks the user their year of birth and tells them their zodiac sign. You have already learned all the tools you need to be able to build this chatbot. (Hint: Use conditionals.) Challenge yourself and give it a try! Design the chatbot with comments first. We provide the years and their corresponding zodiac animals here.
