Hello everyone, Today we are going to talk about the if
, if elif
, and if elif else
conditional statement in Python and try to understand the different use cases and different ways of writing the same conditional statement.
What the hell if
, if elif
, and if elif else
is?
In Python to execute the statement based on certain conditions being satisfied, we use the if
statement.
Let's look at a few of the examples:-
Example 1:-
going_to_office = True #variable that stores the boolean value
if going_to_office == True: print("Work from office")
Here instead of checking the values of going_to_office against True
, we can directly write it as
if going_to_office: print("Work from office")
So if the condition is evaluated to True
then the print
statement is executed else not.
Example 2:-
Let us say we have
going_to_office = True
if going_to_office:
print("Work from office")
else:
print("Enjoy work from home")
So if the condition on line#1 is not satisfied then the control moves to else
and the statement under the else
condition is executed.
Example 3:-
Let us say we have the if elif else
condition
going_to_office = False
be_at_home = True
if going_to_office: #condition1
print("Work from office")
elif be_at_home: #condition2
print("Enjoy work from home")
else:
print("Work from Starbucks")
So if the condition1
and condition2
are not satisfied then the statement under the else
condition is executed.
Conclusion
The basic conditional statements like if
, if elif
and if elif else
is easy to understand, so do let me know what you guys think of this articleπ‘.
