If else statements in python allow us to perform different task depending on certain condition.
Verbally:
“Hey, if this happens then perform this action.”
Some characteristics of if else in python:
- if statement allows the computer to perform some action.
- elif statement is executed if above statements is false.
- else statement is executed only when all the conditions are false.

if case1: perform this statement1 elif case2: perform this statement2 else: perform this statement3 |
Examples:

1 2 3 |
if case1: if True: print("This is Inside of IF") |
|
1 |
This is Inside of IF |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
if case1: x=3 if x==2: print("value of x is 2") elif x==3: print("value of x is 3") else: print("value of x is not matching") |
