Study Notes

Decision Making in Python

Decision making is a crucial aspect of programming languages, allowing us to run specific code blocks based on particular conditions.
In Python, decision making is performed using if-else statements and indentation is used to declare code blocks.

Indentation in Python

Python doesn't use parentheses for block-level code, instead, it uses indentation to define code blocks.
Typically, four spaces are used for indentation in Python.
Statements with the same indentation level belong to the same block.

The if Statement

The if statement is used to test a condition, and if true, execute a block of code (if-block).
The condition can be any valid logical expression that evaluates to true or false.
The syntax is: if expression: statement

Examples of if Statements

Example 1: Check if a number is even: if num%2 == 0: print("The Given number is an even number")
Example 2: Find the largest of three numbers using multiple if statements.

The if-else Statement

The if-else statement combines an if statement with an else block, which is executed when the condition is false.
Syntax: if condition: ... else: ...
If the condition is true, the if-block is executed, otherwise, the else-block is executed.

Examples of if-else Statements

Example 1: Check if a person is eligible to vote: if age>=18: print("You are eligible to vote !!"); else: print("Sorry!you have to wait !!");
Example 2: Check if a number is even or odd: if num%2 == 0: print("The Given number is an even number"); else: print("The Given Number is an odd number");

The elif Statement

The elif statement enables checking multiple conditions and executing specific blocks of statements depending on the true condition.
