Conditional Statement
Conditional statement are used to execute a block of statement on the basis of some condition.
Python supports the usual logical conditions from mathematics:-
- Equals: a == b
- Not Equals: a != b
- Less than: a < b
- Less than or equal to: a <= b
- Greater than: a > b
- Greater than or equal to: a >= b
1. If Statement
Example :-
a = 33
b = 200
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
2. Elif Statement
The elif keyword is python way of saying "if the previous conditions were not true, then try this condition".
Example :-
a = 45
b = 45
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a==b:
print("a and b are equal")
3. Else Statement
The else keyword catches anything which isn't caught by the preceding conditions.Example :-
a = 56
b = 45
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a==b:
print("a and b are equal")
else:
print("a is greater than b")
