If Statements are logical alternatives that will execute something based on something. They
are very intuitive as you are already doing them everyday in your everyday life, it is just a matter of learning the syntax for them (code language for saying how to write them in Python).
For example, should I get coffee? if yes, then add cream, if not, get tea with honey.
IF statements follows the following structure
Python works a lot with indentation. please note that the print comment is indented. if it wouldn't be, then an error would be thrown. Same goes for loops.
If Logical statement:
#Do something if the logical statement is true.
Print ("Pls Fix Thx")Logical expressions.
Logical expressions in python follow similar structure as most languages.
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
"and", "or" between logical expressions works like normal. If with multiple conditions.
Similar to most coding languages. "Else if", is shortened in python to just "Elif"
x = 7
y = 5
if x > y:
print("x is greater")
elif x == y:
print("x and y are equal")
else:
print("y is greater")Nested if statement
In some cases you will want to nest your if statement. an if in another if.
x = 7
y = 5
z = 14
if x > y:
print("x is greater than y")
if x > z:
print("x is greater than z")
else:
print("x is smaller than z")Shorter if statement - single if.
x = 7
y = 7
if y == x: print("x and y are equal.")Shorter if statement - 2 ifs.
#Result = is "Thx."
x = 7
y = 7
print("Please Fix") if a > b else print("Thx.")Shorter if statement - 3 ifs.
#Result = is "Fix"
x = 7
y = 7
print("Please") if a > b else print("Fix") if a == b else print("Thx.")Learn more about Python here for all my posts: https://www.pls-fix-thx.com/python
