Python If-else statements
Decision making is the most important aspect of almost all the
programming languages. Here, the decisions are made on the validity of the
particular conditions. Condition checking is the backbone of decision
making.
Statement Description
If Statement The if statement is used to test a specific condition. If the
condition is true, a block of code (if-block) will be
executed.
If - else The if-else statement is similar to if statement except the
Statement fact that, it also provides the block of the code for the false
case of the condition to be checked. If the condition
provided in the if statement is false, then the else statement
will be executed.
Nested if Nested if statements enable us to use if ? else statement
Statement inside an outer if statement.
Indentation in Python
In Python, indentation is used to declare a block. If two statements are at
the same indentation level, then they are the part of the same block.
Generally, four spaces are given to indent the statements which are a
typical amount of indentation in python.
Indentation is the most used part of the python language since it declares
the block of code. All the statements of one block are intended at the same level
indentation.
The if statement
Syntax:
if expression:
statement
Eg 1:-
#if statement
a=int(input("Enter the value: "))
if a%2==0:
print("THe number is even")
else:
print("it is odd")
Eg 2:-
a = int(input("Enter a? "))
b = int(input("Enter b? "))
c = int(input("Enter c? "))
if a>b and a>c:
print("a is largest")
if b>a and b>c:
print("b is largest")
if c>a and c>b:
print("c is largest
The if-else statement
Syntax:
if condition:
#block of statements
else:
#another block of statements (else-block)
Eg 1:-
a=10
b=20
if a>b:
print("A is greater")
else:
print("B is greater")
Eg 2:-
age = int (input("Enter your age? "))
if age>=18:
print("You are eligible to vote !!")
else:
print("Sorry! you have to wait !!")
The elif statement
The elif statement enables us to check multiple conditions and execute the
specific block of statements depending upon the true condition among them. We
can have any number of elif statements in our program depending upon our
need.
Syntax:
if expression 1:
# block of statements
elif expression 2:
# block of statements
elif expression 3:
# block of statements
else:
# block of statements
Eg 1:-
number = int(input("Enter the number?"))
if number==10:
print("number is equals to 10")
elif number==50:
print("number is equal to 50");
elif number==100:
print("number is equal to 100");
else:
print("number is not equal to 10, 50 or 100");
Eg 2:-
marks = int(input("Enter the marks? "))
if marks > 85 and marks <= 100:
print("Congrats ! you scored grade A ...")
elif marks > 60 and marks <= 85:
print("You scored grade B + ...")
elif marks > 40 and marks <= 60:
print("You scored grade B ...")
elif (marks > 30 and marks <= 40):
print("You scored grade C ...")
else:
print("Sorry you are fail ?")
Eg 3:-
choice=int(input("[Link] Withdrawl\n [Link]\n [Link] Pin\n [Link]
Address\n Enter Your Choice: "))
if choice==1:
print("Cash Withdrawl")
elif choice==2:
print("Depoosit")
elif choice==3:
print("Change Pin")
elif choice==4:
print("Change Address")
else:
print("Invalid Choice")
Nested If Statement:
Eg :
u=input("Enter the User Name: ")
if u=="Livewire":
print("Username is correct")
j=input("Enter the Password: ")
if j=="Lw":
print("Password is correct")
else:
print("Password is incorrect")
else:
print("Username and Password is not available in the database")
