Transcribed Image Text:### IT 140: Introduction to Scripting
#### Section 3.9: Conditional Expressions
**Objective:**
Create a conditional expression that evaluates to the string "negative" if `user_val` is less than 0, and "non-negative" otherwise.
**Sample Output with Input -9:**
```
-9 is negative
```
**Snippet of Code:**
```python
user_val = int(input())
cond_str = user_val
print(user_val, 'is', cond_str)
```
**Explanation:**
The code snippet intends to demonstrate the use of conditional expressions to determine if a number is negative or non-negative based on user input. The provided code needs modification to evaluate `user_val` properly and assign "negative" or "non-negative" to `cond_str` before printing it.
