Python Conditional Statements

Conditional statements are used to control the flow of a program based on certain conditions. In Python, conditional statements are implemented using the `if`, `elif` (optional), and `else` keywords. Let’s explore how conditional statements work in Python.

The `if` Statement

The `if` statement is used to check a condition and execute a block of code if the condition is true. If the condition is false, the code block is skipped.

x = 10
if x > 5:
    print("x is greater than 5")

The `if-else` Statement

The `if-else` statement is used to check a condition and execute a code block if the condition is true, and another code block if the condition is false.

x = 10
if x > 5:
    print("x is greater than 5")
else:
    print("x is not greater than 5")

The `if-elif-else` Statement

The `if-elif-else` statement is used to check multiple conditions in sequence. It allows you to specify different code blocks to execute based on different conditions. The `elif` part is optional, and you can have multiple `elif` blocks to check additional conditions.

x = 10
if x > 5:
    print("x is greater than 5")
elif x < 5:
    print("x is less than 5")
else:
    print("x is equal to 5")
