The if-else Statement
Explore how to use the if-else statement in Python to perform different actions based on conditions. Understand its structure, benefits over multiple ifs, and how to use conditional expressions for concise code. This lesson helps you write efficient conditional logic to handle decision-making in your programs.
We'll cover the following...
What if we want to execute a different set of operations in case an if condition turns out to be False?
That is where the if-else statement comes into the picture.
Structure
The if-else statement looks something like this:
There’s nothing too tricky going on here. If the condition turns out to be True, the code block immediately following the if condition would be executed. If the condition turns out to be False, the code after the else keyword would be executed.
Hence, we can now perform two different actions based on the condition’s value.
