Python if else elif tutorials with examples

Python Provides conditional statements using if, elif and else keywords.

It does not have support for switching and goto in if the conditional expression

It provides the following features

Simple If Statement
if else statements
if elif else statements

if statements are used to test conditional expressions and execute code blocks.

Code blocks are multiple code statements. These are not enclosed in {}. Instead, it uses Indention as a code block.

For example, indentation on the line removed, tells that the code block is complete for the given condition.

Python simple If Statement

first = 20
second = 8
if first > second:
    print(" First is greater than Second");

if second > first:
    print(" Second is greater than First ");
if second == first:

    print(" First is equal to Second");

Python if else example

If else is used to execute else condition, else is optional.

first = 10
second = 15
if first > second:
    print(" First is greater than Second");
else:
    print(" Second is greater than First ");

Python if elif else example

Syntax
