Conditional Statements in Python

Conditional statements allow Python programs to execute code based on conditions.

1. if Statement

  • Executes a block of code if a condition is True.

x = 10
if x > 5:
    print("x is greater than 5")

2. if...else Statement

  • Executes one block if condition is True, another if False.

age = 18
if age >= 18:
    print("You are an adult")
else:
    print("You are a minor")

3. if...elif...else Statement

  • Handles multiple conditions.

marks = 85

if marks >= 90:
    print("Grade: A")
elif marks >= 75:
    print("Grade: B")
elif marks >= 60:
    print("Grade: C")
else:
    print("Grade: D")

4. Nested if Statements

  • Place if statements inside another if for complex conditions.

num = 10

if num > 0:
    print("Positive number")
    if num % 2 == 0:
        print("Even number")
    else:
        print("Odd number")

5. Conditional Expressions (Ternary Operator)

  • Short form of if-else in a single line.

age = 20
status = "Adult" if age >= 18 else "Minor"
print(status)

6. Key Points

  • if executes code when condition is True.

  • elif checks additional conditions.

  • else runs when all conditions are False.

  • Supports nested conditions and ternary expressions.

  • Conditions use comparison operators (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=) and logical operators (and, or, not).
