What is the difference between the if...else and the if...elif...else statements?

<p>The 'if...else' statement evaluates a single condition, while the 'if...elif...else' statement allows for multiple conditions to be checked in sequence. When a condition is met, the corresponding block of code is executed, and the remaining conditions are not checked.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Introduction to Python

  • Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language.
  • Core elements include atoms, identifiers, keywords, literals, strings, and operators (arithmetic, relational, logical, assignment, ternary, bitwise, increment/decrement).

Creating Python Programs

  • Input and output statements are used for interacting with the program.
  • Control statements, including loops (while and for loops), conditional statements (if...else), and loop control (break, continue, pass), control program flow.

Python Structures

  • Data structures include numbers, strings, lists, tuples, and dictionaries.
  • Python supports date and time operations.
  • Modules organize code into reusable units.
  • Functions are blocks of code performing specific tasks. Functions can have default arguments.
  • File handling allows you to read and write to files.

Advanced Python Concepts

  • Object-oriented programming concepts like objects and classes, inheritance are covered.
  • Regular expressions are used for pattern matching in strings.
  • Event-driven programming responds to user interactions.
  • GUI programming allows you to create graphical user interfaces within Python.
  • Packages and modules are covered (basic concepts).
