ConditionalStatements:ifandelse

Let’s try it out!

TypicalExample(NOTETHEINDENTS!!!)x=int(input("Enteranyinteger:"))ifx>=0:

print("Youenteredapositivenumber!")print("Oritcouldbezero!")

else:print("Youenteredanegativenumber!")

ConditionalStatements:ifandelseThesyntaxinPythonis:

if conditional_statement : statement 1 statement 2 …

elif conditional_statement : else statements

elif conditional_statement : more else statements

else: default else statements

1/28/19 Matni,CS8,Wi19 22

Let’s try it out!

a=int(input("Enteranumber:"))#Theabovelinemakestheprogram#asktheuserforadirectinput#intoaninteger.Moreonthislater.if(a<5):

print("It’slessthanfive!")elif(a>5):

print("It’smorethanfive!!!")else:

NestedIf-ElseStatements

1/27/19 Matni,CS8,Wi19 24

Let’s try it out!

a=int(input("WhatisthecostofitemX?"))b=int(input("Enter(0)fornotavailable,(1)foravailable"))if(b==0):

print("Itdoesn’tmatterwhatitcosts:it’snotavailable!")else:

if(a>=100): print("That’sexpensive!")else: print("That’snottooexpensive!")

Think of If-Else as a way to describe “logical branching” Whatdoesthisdo?
