Study Notes
Conditional Statements
- Used to perform different actions based on different conditions.
- Allows performing different actions for different decisions in code.
- Achieved in code using conditional statements.
Types of Conditional Statements in Python
if
: Executes a block of code if a specified condition is true.else
: Executes a block of code if the specified condition is false.elif
: Specifies a new condition to test if the first condition is false.
Python Conditions and If Statements
- Python supports standard logical conditions from mathematics to be used in "if statements" and loops.
- 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
Examples of Python conditions
- Variables
a
(33) andb
(200) can be used to test ifb
is greater thana
. - The condition
b > a
evaluates to true, it prints "b is greater than a" to the screen.
Indentation
- Python uses indentation (whitespace at the beginning of a line) to define scope in the code.
- Omitting indentation in
if
statements raises an error.
The if
Statement
- Used to execute a block of Python code if a condition is true.
- Syntax:
if <EXPRESSION> : # if block of statements
The else
Statement
- Used to execute a block of code if the condition is false.
- Syntax:
if <EXPRESSION>: # if block of statements else: # else block of statements
The Nested if
Statement
- Allows using
if
statements inside otherif
statements. - Syntax:
if <EXPRESSION>: # if block of statements if <EXPRESSION>: # if block of statements else: # elif block of statements
- Example:
age = 13 if age > 10: print("Above 10") if age > 20: print("and also above 20") else: print("but not above 20")
The elif
Statement
- Specifies a new condition to test if the first condition is false.
- Syntax:
if <EXPRESSION>: # if block of statements elif <EXPRESSION>: # elif block of statements else: # else block of statements
- Example:
time = 15 if time < 10: greeting = "Good morning" elif time < 20: greeting = "Good day" else: greeting = "Good evening"
Examples of if
Statements
- Example:
x, y = 10, 20 if x == y: print("x and y are equal.") if x < y: print("x is less than y.") if x > y: # If there is only one line of statement to be executed, curly brackets ({}) can be omitted print("x is greater than y.")
Examples of else
Statement
- Example:
x = 200 if x < 100: print("It is less than 100.") else: print("It is greater than or equal to 100.")
Examples of else
Statement and remainders
- Checks if a number is even or odd based on the remainder when divided by 2.
- Example:
a = 200 # If the remainder when a is divided by 2 is 0, it is even, otherwise, it is odd. if a % 2 == 0: # if division remainder is 0, a is even print("a is even.") else: # if (a % 2 != 0), if division remainder is not 0, a is odd print("a is odd.")
Examples of Nested if
Statement
- Example where an if x < y statement is only evaluated if x != y:
x, y = 10, 20 if x == y: print("x and y are equal.") else: # x != y if x < y: print("x is less than y.") else: print("x is greater than y.")
Examples of elif
Statement
- Example:
x, y = 10, 20 if x == y: print("x and y are equal.") elif x < y: # (x != y) and (x < y) print("x is less than y.") else: # (x != y) and (x > y) print("x is greater than y.")
