Python executes code in a sequence.

Condition

An expression that results in either

True or False

Examples

i. 2 < 3
ii. a == b
iii. True

Conditional Statement

specific condition is

True

Conditional Block

Block of code which executes only if a condition is

True is called Conditional Block.

Indentation

Space(s) in front of the conditional block is called indentation.

Indentation(spacing) is used to identify Conditional Block.

Standard practice is to use four spaces for indentation.

Possible Mistakes

Each statement inside a conditional block should have the same indentation
(spacing).

Wrong Code

PYTHON

1 if True:
2 print("If Block")
3 print("Inside If")

Output

IndentationError: unexpected indent

Correct Code
PYTHON

1 if True:
2 print("If Block")
3 print("Inside If")

If - Else Syntax

When If - Else conditional statement is used, Else block of code executes if


the condition is

False

Using If-Else

Code

PYTHON
1 a = int(input())

2 if a > 0:
3 print("Positive")
4 else:
5 print("Not Positive")
6 print("End")

Input

Output

Positive
End

Possible Mistakes in If-Else

Else can only be used along with if condition. It is written below if


conditional block

Code
PYTHON

1 if False:
2 print("If Block")
3 print("After If")
4 else:
5 print("Else Block")
6 print("After Else")

Output
