If else statement

This form of if else statement tests a condition and if the condition evaluates to true than it carries out statements below if otherwise if the condition evaluates to false, it carries out the statements intended below else the syntax of if-else statement is shown below.

          If <conditional expression>:

                Statement

                Statement

          else:

                Statement

                Statement

For example, consider the following code snippet.

         If a>=0:

               Print (a, “is a positive number”)

         else:

                 Print (a, “is a negative number”)

Have you seen the above code, having any value more than 0 of variable the above code will print a message like (let’s say 2)

                                                   2 is positive number

for value less than zero (let’s see -5) the above code will print a message like?

                                                  -5 is a negative number

After learning the above discussion, we have understood that unlike to simple if statement, which does nothing when the condition results false, the if else statement perform some action is true or false.

Now let’s have an another example 

If sales >=10,000:

        commission = sales*0.10

else:

        commission = sales*0.05

A flow chart for if else statement will help you in better understanding the above discussion

Let’s have a look

So far , you have understand about if else statement in python, I think you can observe the following program code in python.

Here we are writing a python code/program to accept three integers and print the largest of three by making use of only If statement.

Here, we have Please observe the python code.

and here it a flow chart for the same code.

Why If else statements in Python

In this tutorial, We have learnt about if  else ststement in python for CBSE class 11 & 12 and its related concepts according to CBSE syllabus. This tutorial is useful for Central Board of secondary education (CBSE) student of class 11^{th &} 12^th, who opted computer science (Code 083) as an optional subject. This topic is also important to start learning python programing language for beginners of class 11th and 12th.
