Study Notes
Introduction to Python - Conditional Statements
- Conditional statements in Python allow the program to make decisions based on conditions.
- The primary conditional statement in Python is
if
. if
statements evaluate a logical expression and, if true, execute a block of code indented under theif
statement.- Python's indentation rules define code blocks. Statements indented the same amount belong to the same block.
Conditional - if
Statement
- Python's
if
statements are similar to other programming languages. - The statement needs a logical expression.
- A decision is made based on whether the expression is true or false.
Conditional - if
Structure
- The
if
statement in Python Programming has a simple structure:if expression: statement(s)
- The statement(s) after the colon are executed only if the expression evaluates to True.
- The expression must be a condition, like a comparison or a logical check.
- All statements indented by the same number of spaces after a programming construct (in this case, the if statement) are considered to be part of a single code block.
Conditional - if
Example
x = 5
if x == 5:
print(x, 'is equal to 5')
if x > 10:
print (x, 'is greater than 10')
Conditional - if
(Indentation Concept)
- Indentation is crucial in Python to define code blocks.
- The block of code directly under an 'if statement' is solely dependent upon the if expression being true.
- Incorrect indentation leads to errors.
Exercise 1
- Write a Python program that prompts the user for an integer.
- If the integer is greater than or equal to 2, display that the integer is positive.
Conditional - if-else
Statement
- An
else
statement can be combined with anif
statement. - An
else
statement contains the code that executes if theif
statement's condition is false. - The
else
statement (if used) must be indented at the same level as theif
statement - An
if-else
statement has at most oneelse
statement.
Conditional - if-else
Statements
-
if
(Test condition): If the condition evaluates toTrue
, the corresponding code block will execute. -
else
: If the condition isFalse
, theelse
block will execute.
Conditional - if-elif-else
Statements
- An
elif
statement allows multiple conditions to be evaluated. elif
can be used multiple times afterif
.- The
if-elif-else
structure continues to test conditions until it finds one that evaluates toTrue
. - Python only executes the code block for the first condition that evaluates as
True
. - Once a
True
condition is found the rest of theelif
andelse
conditions are bypassed.
if-elif-else
Syntax
if (condition 1):
statements 1
elif (condition 2):
statements 2
elif (condition 3):
statements 3
.
.
elif (condition n):
statements n
else:
default statements
Exercise 2
- Provide the output for a given integer input value, based on a sample
if/else
script. - Determine the true statement(s) when a specific value is given.
- State which line of the given code will execute with a specific integer input.
Exercise 3
- A Python script uses
if
,elif
, andelse
to determine different discount rates based on age. - Determine the different outputs when specific ages are inputted.
